C++ Developer

WorldQuant, a global quantitative finance firm, is seeking an exceptional C++ Developer to join their front office development team. The role focuses on building and enhancing next-generation platforms through high-performance, low-latency C++ programming.

WorldQuant's culture combines academic rigor with results-driven accountability, encouraging open thinking and continuous improvement. The company develops systematic financial strategies across various asset classes, using their proprietary research platform to identify market inefficiencies and generate predictive signals (alphas).

As a C++ Developer, you'll be part of a collaborative environment where technologists work closely with researchers to design, code, test, and deploy firmwide platforms and tools. The role requires expertise in modern C++ (C++17/20), template meta-programming, and distributed computing, with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and Linux systems.

The position offers an opportunity to work on mission-critical infrastructure and implement new systems while adapting existing ones to next-generation platforms. While finance experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory - WorldQuant values intellectual capability and technical expertise above all.

The company seeks individuals who can think in code, thrive in an intellectually driven environment, and contribute to building the roadmap to future success. This role is perfect for developers who excel in high-performance computing and want to apply their skills in a cutting-edge quantitative finance environment.
