Trading syatem C++ developer

In an environment where milliseconds are too slow, we need our systems to perform at their peak, all day, and every day. As a Trading Systems Engineer, you will work in the production environment where you are a custodian of the systems that drive our core business.

From the software that places orders directly to the market to the front-end trading applications, you’re in a unique position of having strong end-to-end understanding of how these components operate as one. You’re entrusted with delivering game-changing ideas and coordinating incident responses. Your goal is flawless execution on every occasion.

Whilst this is not a development or systems administrative role, it does incorporate elements of both. You’ll often find yourself in the trading team as a trusted advisor to our traders on operational decisions. Taking the best of both worlds, you excel in taking real business problems and solving them with cutting edge technology.

What you’re like

You’re a technologist at heart and crave the challenge of learning how things work under the hood. You’re a solution-oriented engineer who enjoys solving problems and having a direct impact on the business. You want to work with systems end-to-end and you don’t shy away from intricate low level details. A critical thinker when it comes to troubleshooting and analysis, you have strong attention to details, great initiative and are always proactively looking to improve how things work. You are hands on and always have a passion for technology and possess the following skills, attributes and experience:

• Fluent in both Mandarin and English is a must
• 5-7 years’ experience working as a Systems Administrator, Site Reliability Engineer, Release Manager or any technical role that requires complex troubleshooting, incident management and production support
• A solid understanding of Linux is required
• Experience with Networking, Python scripting, and/or software development is highly desirable
• Customer-focused; excellent verbal, written and face-to-face communication skills with the ability to liaise with both technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• A dynamic player and have the ability to think on your feet
• Demonstrated ability to keep a ‘cool head’ when under pressure.

What you’ll learn

At the start you will be based in our Sydney office learning how we do things around here. In-house trading training is provided so you’ll be well equipped to liaise with traders. You’ll learn about market operations, trading concepts and strategies and how that translates to the technology that makes us as a business tick.

After getting to know us you will be transferred to our Shanghai office. Working in a close-knit and talented team, you’ll be able to apply your experience managing projects and lead the day to day execution of work.

You will work closely with trading and the China Squad. You’ll be building and optimising the automated trading systems and connections to the exchanges. You’ll be working collaboratively with other top-class developers as well as researching and integrating new technologies into our systems as the opportunities arise.
