About the job
Join our innovative team as a Software Engineer at Ansatz Capital, a dynamic and agile quantitative trading startup based in London. You will play a pivotal role in developing and maintaining high-performance trading applications and robust infrastructure across various financial markets. Your expertise will aid in building a comprehensive infrastructure that supports our trading operations. This position thrives in a fast-paced environment with daily release cycles, requiring keen prioritization between immediate and long-term goals.
Our systems encompass a wide range of components, from hardware drivers to TCP/multicast handlers and Python interfaces, all of which necessitate custom optimizations for latency and bandwidth. A solid understanding of the trade-offs involving clock cycles and CPU cache effects is essential. You will employ multi-core and multi-threaded communications using lock-free algorithms, thereby pushing the limits of computational efficiency. A strong grasp of runtime behaviors, serialization delays, and asymptotic performance in this context is necessary. Compensation includes a competitive base salary, a discretionary performance bonus, and opportunities for participation in long-term incentive programs.
