Our client is a leading global investment manager, and they are looking to hire a Software Engineer with strong experience in distributed systems.Your Role:

Bring your ambition and drive to a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your skills can make a real impact.
Write clean, efficient, and scalable code, ensuring edge cases are handled and systems are thoroughly tested.
Show off your critical thinking and problem-solving prowess as you tackle tough challenges and learn fast.
Demonstrate your top-tier academic achievements or success in competitive programming (think Olympiads or global coding contests).
Work in a high-performance, high-expectation team where excellence is the standard.

What We’re Looking For:

Strong programming skills in C++ or Rust-you’re comfortable navigating complex systems and solving tough problems.

Experience with Python for research and working with trading strategies in a quant dev role.
Expertise in profiling and optimizing code with tools like perf or valgrind.
Strong background in advanced math or statistics-think stats, probabilities, and complex algorithms.
Knowledge of blockchain tech and DeFi, with hands-on experience in Solidity, JSON-RPC, MEV, or Solana.
Familiarity with AWS and cloud-based infrastructure.
