C++ Storage Systems Engineer

C++ Storage Systems Engineer | Quantitative Trading | New York / Chicago

We are working with a leading quantitative trading firm looking for a C++ engineer to work on high-performance storage and data infrastructure.

The team builds systems responsible for moving, storing and accessing large volumes of data with extremely demanding requirements around latency, throughput and reliability. This is a strong fit for engineers coming from high-performance storage, database or distributed systems teams in Big Tech or similarly technical environments.

What you’ll work on:

• Design and build high-performance storage systems in modern C++


• Optimize I/O, memory usage, concurrency and data access paths


• Work on distributed storage and large-scale data infrastructure


• Profile systems and identify performance bottlenecks across the stack


• Solve problems involving caching, filesystems, networking and CPU/memory performance

What we’re looking for:

• Strong professional C++ experience


• Excellent systems fundamentals across Linux, concurrency, memory and networking


• Experience with storage engines, databases, filesystems or distributed storage


• Strong understanding of performance optimization and profiling


• Background from a high-calibre engineering environment

Experience in finance is not required. Engineers from companies such as Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, NVIDIA and other systems-focused organizations are particularly relevant.
