Job Description

Senior C++ Engineer - High-Performance Trading Systems

We're working with a global financial brokerage building mission-critical trading and analytics platforms used across international financial markets.

This is a hands-on engineering role for a senior C++ developer who enjoys working close to the metal - diagnosing crashes, optimising performance, and improving the resilience of real-time systems.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing and building low-latency C++ applications

  • Investigating and resolving production crashes

  • Performing deep debugging (call stacks, memory issues, threading)

  • Optimising multi-threaded, real-time systems

  • Collaborating with engineers, QA, DevOps, and business users

  • Mentoring junior developers and raising engineering standards

What we're looking for:

  • Strong commercial experience in modern C++ (11/14/17)

  • Background in performance-critical systems

  • Hands-on experience with debugging and crash analysis

  • Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and optimisation

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, production-focused environments

Hybrid working, long-term platform ownership, and genuinely complex engineering challenges.

McGregor Boyall is an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on any grounds.
