Infrastructure Head

Established in 2017, with deep expertise in algorithmic trading, we have assembled a formidable team—a fusion of

technologists, quantitative analysts, and researchers. As an emerging force in electronic trading, we seamlessly

blend key components of finance, systems engineering, and statistics. While rooted in quantitative trading, we also

offer a diverse portfolio of financial services with expertise spanning across High-frequency trading (HFT),

non-banking financial services (NBFC), angel investing, stock broking, and discretionary trading.

We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Head with deep expertise in building high-performance, low-latency

systems for high-frequency trading (HFT). This role involves designing and implementing end-to-end infrastructure

from the ground up to support real-time trading strategies in latency-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and Development: Architected and implemented core HFT infrastructure components using modern C++ (C++14/17/20), focusing on performance, determinism, and minimal latency.
  • Market Connectivity: Built ultra-low latency market data handlers and direct exchange connectivity (via native protocols and/or FIX engines).
  • Order Management Systems: Developed high-throughput order entry and execution gateways with microsecond-level performance.
  • System Optimization: Applied advanced techniques for CPU affinity, lock-free data structures, memory management, and NIC/kernel tuning.
  • Real-time Data Processing: Engineered systems to handle high-volume market data feeds, tick-by-tick processing, and in-memory order book management.
  • Reliability & Monitoring: Implemented system health checks, logging frameworks, fault-tolerance mechanisms, and real-time metrics.
  • Collaboration: Worked closely with traders, quant developers, and infrastructure teams to support dynamic trading strategies and rapidly evolving market conditions.

Experience Required: 5+ years

Technical Stack

  • Languages: C++17/20, Python (for tooling and automation)
  • Systems: Linux (low-level tuning), TCP/UDP, Multicast, Shared Memory, RDMA
  • Protocols: FIX, proprietary exchange protocols
  • Tools: Wireshark, Intel VTune, perf, gdb, Git, custom benchmarking tools
  • Concepts: Lock-free programming, multithreading, concurrency, memory alignment, kernel bypass

(DPDK/Solarflare)

Preferred Background

  • Experience in proprietary trading, hedge funds, or market-making firms
  • Strong understanding of exchange microstructure and financial instruments
  • Proven track record of latency reduction and performance tuning
