HFT Core Engineer

⚲ Netherlands / Remote

About the Role

As an HFT Core Engineer, you will design and build the core trading system from scratch. You will own the central execution engine, internal data model, and critical runtime components that define how strategies interact with markets. Your focus is deterministic behavior, minimal latency overhead, and correctness under real-world constraints.

You will work on:

  • Design and implement the core trading engine: event loop, scheduling, and execution flow

  • Define and build internal data models for order books, trades, positions, and state transitions

  • Develop execution systems: order lifecycle management, smart order routing, risk checks, and position tracking

  • Design and implement real-time risk systems: pre-trade checks, exposure limits, kill-switches, and capital allocation constraints across strategies

  • Build treasury and funds routing logic: capital distribution across venues, internal netting, collateral management, and efficient movement of funds between accounts

  • Ensure consistency and correctness of state under high load and partial failures

  • Optimize critical paths for latency and throughput (CPU cache, memory layout, branch prediction)

  • Collaborate with connectors and research teams to ensure clean interfaces and minimal overhead integration

  • Build the system with a phased market scope: start with crypto markets (spot, perps), then extend to traditional markets (equities, futures, options) with unified abstractions

About the Team

We are building a proprietary trading fund where the core system is a first-principles design, not an iteration on legacy infrastructure. The goal is to tightly integrate execution, research, and infrastructure into a single coherent system.

You might thrive in this role if you have

  • Experience building low-latency systems (HFT, real-time systems, or similar)

  • Strong systems programming skills (C++ or Rust)

  • Deep understanding of concurrency, memory models, and performance optimization

  • Experience designing complex systems from scratch with clear abstractions and minimal overhead

  • Understanding of trading system components: order lifecycle, execution logic, and risk controls

  • Familiarity with capital management, risk systems, or treasury workflows in trading environments

  • Ability to reason about correctness under concurrency and failure

  • Experience with profiling and performance tuning at the CPU level
