Tech Lead - Delta One MFT

A leading global systematic hedge fund is seeking an experienced Tech Lead to drive the design and development of its Delta One Mid-Frequency Trading platform. This is a high-impact role where you'll lead a team of engineers to build scalable, low-latency infrastructure enabling systematic trading in futures, ETFs, and equity swaps.


You will work closely with traders, quantitative researchers, and infrastructure teams to engineer systems that are performance-optimized, research-driven, and tightly aligned with the demands of global Delta One strategies.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development and architecture of low-latency, event-driven trading systems supporting Delta One instruments, including ETFs, futures, and swaps.
  • Own the technical roadmap for the Delta One MFT platform, from market access to execution and real-time risk management.
  • Partner with researchers and portfolio managers to integrate strategies and signals into the production stack.
  • Build infrastructure that supports rapid research iteration and robust production deployment.
  • Mentor engineers, establish development best practices, and maintain a high standard of code quality, performance, and reliability.


Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in C++ and Python development within equities, futures, or Delta One trading.
  • Strong grasp of equity and futures market microstructure, order types, smart order routing, and trade lifecycle.
  • Expertise in building multi-threaded, high-throughput systems for real-time data processing and trading.
  • Experience managing or mentoring engineering teams in fast-paced, trading-focused environments.
  • Deep understanding of systems performance optimization, latency measurement, and tuning.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Math, or a related technical field.


This is a rare opportunity to lead the buildout of a next-generation Delta One trading platform within one of the world’s most technically sophisticated trading firms. If you're ready to make a significant architectural and strategic impact in global systematic trading, please apply now.
