XTX Markets | London, UK | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.xtxmarkets.com/

London-based XTX Markets is looking to expand its small low-latency C++ team. We have hundreds of Linux servers located at tens of financial exchanges around the world, and we design / build / maintain the entire software stack which runs on them. We're not serving up adverts, or worrying about user acquisition metrics, or building software for a faceless third party - everything we build is for our own use, and we use what we build to trade over 150 billion dollars worth of assets every day, all in a completely automated manner. You should be familiar with modern C++, interested in pushing hardware to its limits, and not afraid of mathematical formulae. No prior financial experience is necessary - we're happy to teach you that part.
