A fast-growing fintech company is looking for a Backend C++ Engineer to help build the high-performance systems powering next-generation trading and investment technology. You’ll work on production-grade software used by real customers, alongside a highly technical, collaborative engineering team
What You’ll Do
- Build and scale high-performance backend systems in C++
- Develop low-latency, high-throughput services used in real-time financial environments
- Design and implement robust, production-grade infrastructure with a focus on performance and reliability
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product, and leadership to ship impactful features
- Own systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to deployment and monitoring
- Solve complex performance, concurrency, and scalability challenges
What You Bring
- 5–8+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems
- Strong C++ expertise, including modern C++ (C++17/20 preferred)
- Experience working with performance-critical, multithreaded, or low-latency systems
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and systems design
- Strong ownership mindset and clear communication skills in a remote environment
Nice to Have
- Experience in fintech, trading systems, or market data platforms
- Background in distributed systems or high-availability architectures
- Familiarity with Linux systems, networking, or cloud infrastructure
- Experience with Python, Rust, or other systems-level languages
If you want to work on mission-critical systems where performance matters and your impact is immediate, this is the role.
