Software Engineering and Core Technology

Technology is the other half of the edge.

FramingWhat this is

Low-latency trading systems, market-data handlers, order management, execution engines, risk systems and research platforms. Systems programming, networking, operating-system internals, concurrency and performance.

Peer firms often standardise on OCaml or C++ and custom hardware. We start on TypeScript and Bun, and we introduce C++ where measurement requires it — not where fashion does. A rewrite without the profile that justified it has not been justified.

A research result that cannot run is not a result. Half the firm’s edge lives in this category.

Dubai (on-site) · Open

ASIC Engineer

The furthest end of the latency argument. Open because the taxonomy is honest, not because silicon is funded.

ProcessFour steps
  1. IntroductionA short message and something you built. No cover letter, no recruiter, no form.
  2. Technical conversationNinety minutes on work you actually did, deep enough that neither of us can bluff.
  3. Paid assignmentA real problem from our backlog, scoped to one day. We pay for it either way.
  4. ReviewYou defend the work to the people who would maintain it. This is the decision.
