C++ Engineer

C++ Engineer (Micro services, Low Latency, High Throughput)

Position Overview:-

SMC Global is seeking a highly skilled C++ Engineer to join our technology team. This role is focused on developing and optimizing low-latency, high-throughput micro services essential for our high-performance trading platforms. The ideal candidate will have experience working in C++ on financial services applications, with a strong background in system optimization to meet real-time processing requirements. Experience with Go (Golang) is an advantage but not a requirement. If you're passionate about working in a fast-paced, results-driven environment where precision and performance are critical, we'd love to have you on board.

Key Responsibilities:-

➢ Design, develop, and optimize C++ based trading systems and microservices that deliver low-latency (<20 ms) and high-throughput (>12,000 requests per second) performance.

➢ Work with trading algorithms, order execution systems, and other core financial technologies to build highly reliable, scalable systems.

➢ Collaborate with product and trading teams to define, design, and implement microservices that meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.

➢ Optimize code to ensure ultra-low latency in a high-frequency trading environment, addressing network and system bottlenecks as they arise.

➢ Conduct system profiling and performance tuning to enhance the speed, scalability, and overall efficiency of trading applications.

➢ Troubleshoot and resolve complex performance issues, system outages, and bugs related to the trading environment.

➢ Stay abreast of emerging technologies in high-performance computing and financial systems.

Required Skills & Qualifications: -

➢ 4+ years of C++ programming experience, with a focus on low-latency and high-throughput systems.

➢ Proven experience with microservices architecture in a distributed environment.

➢ Experience optimizing systems for low latency (<20 ms) and high throughput (>12,000 requests per second), particularly in real-time, high-frequency trading applications.

➢ Strong understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and network programming.

➢ Familiarity with Linux-based environments (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).

➢ Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and performance optimization techniques.

➢ Ability to analyze and solve complex technical issues quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

➢ Solid communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments.

Preferred Skills (Good to Have):-

➢ Experience with Go (Golang) in building distributed, micro services-based systems.

➢ Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

➢ Exposure to high-performance financial systems, trading platforms, or other financial technology.

➢ Understanding of financial instruments, market data feeds, and order routing protocols.

➢ Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
