The Role

We’re currently engaged with a high-performing, technology-led organisation within the financial space, looking to hire a talented C++ Engineer to join their London team. This is an opportunity to work in a deeply technical environment alongside some of the industry’s strongest engineers, contributing to the build-out of highly optimised, large-scale systems.

Responsibilities

• Designing and developing high-performance systems using C++ (with some Python where required)
• Building and integrating microservices within a distributed architecture
• Working on platforms that process significant volumes of data with low latency requirements
• Collaborating with engineers and stakeholders to deliver robust, scalable solutions
• Playing an active role across the full development lifecycle, from concept through to deployment

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with C++ in a commercial setting, alongside exposure to Python
• Experience designing or consuming RESTful services within microservice-based architectures
• Background working on large-scale or high-throughput systems
• Previous exposure to financial services is beneficial, but not a prerequisite
• Strong academic foundations, ideally in Computer Science or a related field
