Mondrian Alpha · New York
We are partnering with one of the world’s most technically ambitious proprietary trading firms - a group rebuilding their entire trading platform from the metal up to operate at the physical limits of modern hardware. This isn’t an incremental improvement. It’s a total re-architecture of the fastest system on the planet, where every microsecond is contested ground and every cache miss is a bug.
Environment:
C++20/23
Architect
zero-GC, lock-free pipelines
built around ring buffers and cache-aligned data structures.
Develop
custom kernel-bypass network stacks
using
DPDK, RDMA, and Solarflare Onload
, tuned to single-digit microsecond latency.
Engineer
branch-prediction-aware order handlers
and
SIMD-vectorized pricing logic
in
AVX-512
.
Deliver next-tick telemetry with
nanosecond-precision timestamps
and cross-core synchronization.
Collaborate with
FPGA specialists
to merge hardware precision with software agility.
The Toolkit
Modern
C++20/23
, template metaprogramming, constexpr, inline assembly when necessary.
Profiling and optimization using
perf
,
VTune
,
bcc
, and
FlameGraphs
.
Deep knowledge of
NUMA-aware design
, memory fences, and lock-free concurrency.
Expertise in
custom allocator design
,
branchless algorithms
, and
profile-guided optimization
.
A habit of benchmarking rather than assuming - data, not theory.
Ideal Background
Proven experience building
ultra-low-latency systems
in trading, gaming, or networking.
Deep understanding of
CPU architecture
, from cache hierarchies to speculative execution.
The mindset of someone who
thinks in nanoseconds and measures in CPU cycles
.
A record of winning battles with compilers, kernels, and performance bottlenecks.
The Environment
This firm operates on a flat structure - no committees, no bureaucracy, no excuses. Engineering, hardware, and trading sit shoulder-to-shoulder. Code that’s 10ns faster doesn’t just run better - it changes the business.
If you believe latency is the final frontier, and profiling is the only truth, this is the environment you’ve been building toward.
