SVP Senior C++ Market Data Engineer

What you'll do

• Design and develop real-time market data distribution platforms for global Equities trading.
• Build performance-critical C++ components for market data ingestion, normalization, and fan-out.
• Define and enforce platform standards for market data semantics and correctness guarantees.
• Engineer the end-to-end wire-to-consumer hot path with focus on NUMA-aware design and CPU isolation.
• Own OS-level optimizations including Linux kernel tuning and network performance profiling.

What we're looking for

• 12+ years of hands-on experience building low-latency, high-throughput systems with strong C++ proficiency.
• Design and own real-time market data distribution platforms in a global financial institution (Equities required).
• Deep production experience with UDP multicast, including loss recovery and operational behavior.
• Strong understanding of low-latency techniques like NUMA, core pinning, IRQ affinity, and cache locality.
• Production experience using Aeron for high-performance fan-out and IPC, managing back-pressure and performance diagnostics.
• Demonstrated ownership of wire-to-consumer latency observability with histograms and tail analysis.
• Strong knowledge of exchange microstructure and regional market differences across global venues.
