Job description

Overview :

We are seeking a hands-on, C++ engineer to design and deliver FIX / FIXML parsing and transformation components for near / real-time trading data flows. This is a client-facing role that requires end-to-end ownership, from design through production, with high code quality standards and the ability to collaborate directly with quantitative developers and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design, implement, and optimize C++ libraries / services for parsing FIX formats (native tag-value FIX, FIX with XML tags, FIXML) and transforming messages into downstream-consumable schemas.
  • Build low-latency, high-throughput data pipelines and adapters integrated with real-time messaging / queuing technologies.
  • Define and implement schemas, validation, and enrichment logic for trading and market data flows.
  • Establish benchmarks, latency / throughput SLAs, and performance tuning plans; use profiling tools to identify and remediate bottlenecks.
  • Own the full lifecycle : discovery, design, PoC, productionization, deployment, observability, documentation, and knowledge transfer.
  • Partner closely with client-side quants, developers, and operations to ensure correctness, resiliency, and maintainability.
  • Adhere to high standards for code quality, testing, security, and operational readiness.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

  • 10+ years of professional C++ development (modern C++17 / 20 preferred), including STL / Boost, templates, concurrency, networking, memory management, and performance tuning on Linux.
  • 10+ years working with XML technologies and data management solutions (e.g., schema design, validation, transformation, versioning, lineage).
  • 10+ years of designing, implementing, and operating data management solutions.
  • Deep expertise with FIX protocol and FIXML, ideally in low-latency trading or market data environments.
  • Proven experience parsing and normalizing multiple FIX dialects (native FIX, FIX with XML tags, FIXML) and transforming into downstream formats (e.g., canonical schemas, JSON, Avro, protobuf, custom binary).
  • Hands-on experience with near / real-time messaging and queuing technologies (e.g., Kafka, 0MQ, RabbitMQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS / RV, NATS), including back-pressure handling and exactly-once / at-least-once semantics where applicable.
  • Demonstrated "ideation-to-production" velocity : can independently gather requirements, produce designs, write production-grade code, and deliver measurable outcomes within tight timelines.
  • Strong engineering rigor : code reviews, unit / integration testing, CI / CD, observability, and documentation.
  • Excellent communication skills for direct client and quantitative developer interactions.
  • Preferred Skills & Qualifications :

  • Experience or strong working knowledge of capital markets (e.g., cash equities, futures / options, FX, fixed income), buy- or sell-side order flows, execution workflows, market data, reference data, and symbology.
  • Prior work on low-latency trading systems, market data handlers, feed handlers, or order gateways.
  • Familiarity with FIX engines and tooling (e.g., QuickFIX / QuickFIX / J, OnixS, CameronFIX, or in-house engines).
  • Knowledge of XML tooling (XSD, XSLT), schema evolution strategies, and compatibility testing.
  • Familiarity with serialization frameworks (Avro, protobuf, FlatBuffers), time-series or columnar stores, and caching layers.
  • Experience with performance profiling and tracing (perf, flamegraphs, valgrind, VTune), and network-level analysis (tcpdump, Wireshark).
  • Tools & Environment :
