About us

We are a cutting-edge High-Frequency Trading (HFT) firm specializing in market-making strategies in the crypto space. Our mission is simple: turn super-fast concepts into reality with the best minds in finance and technology. We operate at nanosecond latency levels, where every cycle counts, and we are looking for a highly skilled C++ Developer with quant expertise to join our elite team.

Forget endless meetings, corporate overhead, and distractions — here, you'll be coding in pure tunnel focus mode. Our CEO personally handles all partnerships and escalations outside the dev team, so you can dedicate 100% of your brainpower to building and optimizing world-class trading systems.

Your Tasks:

  • Design, develop, and optimize ultra-low-latency C++ systems for high-frequency trading.
  • Collaborate with quant researchers to implement, test, and deploy market-making strategies in real-time.
  • Build robust, scalable, and high-performance trading infrastructure with nanosecond-level precision.
  • Continuously optimize algorithms and systems for speed, throughput, and reliability.
  • Integrate your code with our analytics platform to provide real-time KPI visibility to leadership (no interruptions, no status calls).
  • Deliver high-quality, production-ready code on Swiss working hours to align with our market activity. But can work from anywhere in the world.

What we are looking for:

  • Proven expertise in C++ (C++17/20) with a focus on low-latency, high-performance systems.
  • Strong background in quantitative finance, trading, or market microstructure.
  • Experience with exchange protocols, order books, and market data feeds is a big plus.
  • Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency, lock-free programming, memory management, and CPU/GPU optimization.
  • Ability to work autonomously, with a strong sense of ownership and precision.
  • Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
  • Passion for building fast, reliable, and elegant trading systems.
  • Fluent in English or German

What we offer:

  • Competitive fixed salary with performance-based bonus: for every line of code that contributes to profit, you share in the upside.
  • Pure coding focus: no disturbing meetings, no corporate bureaucracy. Updates are shared via Telegram messaging.
  • High impact, real-world results: every feature you build is directly linked to our trading P&L.
  • Fully remote work, with the only requirement being Swiss working hours for deliverables.
  • Opportunity to work with quants and technologists at the frontier of HFT.
  • A culture of speed, precision, and innovation — where your code literally moves the markets.

How to Apply (no CV Required):

  • Your most impressive projects so far — what you built, why it was unique, and how you solved the challenges.
  • Who you collaborated with, including names we may contact as references.
  • The industries you've worked in and your specific role within them.
  • Your experience in the hedge fund / trading space — how long, which firms, and any references you can provide.

Next Steps:

  • After reviewing applications, we'll invite the top candidates to take part in a short coding challenge.
  • The top 3 developers who deliver the best and fastest demo will be offered a position with us.

Good luck, and see you in the world's most outcome-oriented company — built on freedom, focus, and results. Don't worry about the Skills Match shown by LinkedIn. We know those metrics can be misleading — what matters to us is the quality and impact of your work
