Flow Traders US is seeking talented C++ Engineers to join our growing team in New York. Software Engineers at Flow Traders provide us our competitive edge, equipping traders with the information and capabilities that they need to make sound business decisions. C++ plays a critical role in our event-driven trading systems, which are designed to reliably handle vast amounts of data at ultra-low latencies.

As a C++ Engineer, you will write efficient code, create new designs and maintain existing applications with a focus on low latency and stability. You will work in small teams grouped by business area and follow agile practices. Your team will own a set of related applications and work in tight, daily collaboration with business owners. These end users are only a short walk away, which creates swift feedback loops and immediate insight into the value that your code provides. To foster collaboration and enable autonomy, we maintain shared libraries, encourage code re-use, and continuously evolve our views on application architecture.

  • Write efficient code, create new designs and maintain existing applications with a focus on low latency and stability
  • Work in small teams grouped by business area and follow agile practices 
  • Own a set of related applications and work in tight, daily collaboration with business owners

  • Deliver core US roadmap items which require real-time and/or critical-path software


Technologies we use:

  • C++17 (soon to migrate to C++20!)
  • Linux across all infrastructure                  
  • Git for version control and Bitbucket for code review. 
  • Atlassian products for SDLC (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo)
  • Native Linux development environment with your choice of IDE or editor 
  • Python 3 for automated testing


What You Need to Succeed

  • BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics or equivalent
  • 5+ years post-graduation professional C++ software development experience (proprietary trading industry preferred)
  • Ability to write clean, reliable, and highly scalable code
  • Expertise in algorithms and data structures
  • Experience in parallel, asynchronous, and multithreaded programming
  • Interest in achieving maximum performance from available hardware and software
  • Ability to communicate with technical and non-technical business colleagues
  • Ability to travel to Flow Traders' offices around the world


At Flow Traders, we acknowledge the importance of open and transparent communication whether it be with our employees, our stakeholders, or our local and global communities. When it comes to salary, Flow Traders uses reliable market research to create base ranges. Where candidates will fall within the range depends on a few different factors including but not limited to level of experience, location, and specific skill set. We also consider ourselves one global team, and to demonstrate that, all employees are eligible to share in the company’s success through an annual discretionary variable remuneration allocated based on company, group and individual performance and contribution.

Per the NYC Salary Transparency Law, the total compensation for this role includes a base of $185,000 - $210,000 plus annual discretionary variable remuneration.
