Job description
Your job
This role is crucial for our organization. Our Technology team is small and therefore you get a lot of responsibilities and freedom! You are triggered by being faster than the competitors and you like to focus on quality. As you can imagine in a small team, there is a flat hierarchy and everybody is really hands-on to be the best in what we do!
We are looking for senior C/C++ Engineers with extensive knowledge and experience in building, testing, monitoring and maintaining large scale parallel applications and databases. As a C/C++ Engineer at Mathrix in the low latency environment, your focus will be on the code which facilitates the automated trades on various exchanges worldwide.
Our companies’ performance is highly dependent on the performance of our data processing pipelines. You will regularly need to appeal to all aspects of your developers’ skillset to find new and innovative ways to optimize your code. Some examples:
