Flow Traders Hong Kong is looking for a Senior C Software Engineer to lead the next-generation architecture of the market data and execution platforms that power our fully systematic trading. We dont treat market data as plumbing - for us its a source of alpha where feed handling order book construction and a deep understanding of exchange microstructure are themselves a competitive edge. Were looking for a senior individual contributor who has lived this philosophy in a proprietary or systematic trading environment and can squeeze every nanosecond out of the path from wire to strategy.

As a senior individual contributor youll be working on the Core Platform that underpins quantitative research pricing strategy development and execution across hundreds of venues.
