Location: Singapore or Hong Kong (Relocation + Sponsorship Available)

We’re working with a top-tier quantitative trading firm building out its next-generation market access platform for high-frequency and crypto trading.

This is a high-impact, front-office engineering role where you’ll operate at the intersection of ultra-low latency systems, trading infrastructure, and exchange connectivity .

If you’re currently at a competitor and feel capped on technical depth or impact — this is the kind of move people make to level up.

The Role

You’ll be a core contributor to the market access stack , owning performance-critical systems that directly impact trading outcomes.

Design and optimize ultra-low latency market access systems
Work at the Linux kernel / systems level to squeeze out microseconds
Build and enhance exchange connectivity, order entry, and execution paths
Partner directly with traders and quant researchers
Drive performance tuning across networking, memory, and CPU optimization
Contribute to a highly performant, production-grade C++ codebase

What We’re Looking For

This is a deep systems engineering role — not generalist backend.

Strong C++ experience in performance-critical environments
Deep understanding of Linux internals / kernel-level optimisation
Experience working on market access / order entry / exchange connectivity
Proven track record in low-latency systems (HFT, trading, or similar)
Strong knowledge of:
Networking (TCP/UDP, kernel bypass, NIC tuning)
CPU/memory optimisation, threading, lock-free structures
Background in trading, crypto, or high-performance systems preferred

Why This Role

Market-leading compensation (top of market base + bonus + sign-on)
Relocation + visa sponsorship to Singapore or Hong Kong
Direct exposure to trading and PnL impact
Work alongside some of the strongest engineers and quants globally
Real ownership of latency-critical systems — not just incremental work

Who Typically Moves Into This

Engineers making this move usually come from:

Top-tier HFT / prop trading firms
Market makers / exchanges
Low-latency infrastructure teams at leading funds

…and are looking for:

More technical depth at the kernel / hardware boundary
Greater ownership and impact on trading performance
A step-up in comp and platform quality
