C++ Developer

WorldQuant, a global quantitative finance firm, is seeking exceptional C++ developers to join their front office development team. The company develops systematic financial strategies across various asset classes and global markets, focusing on producing high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through their proprietary research platform.

The role involves working on mission-critical infrastructure and next-generation platforms, requiring expertise in high-performance C++ development. You'll be part of a collaborative environment where technologists work closely with researchers to design, code, test, and deploy firmwide platforms and tools.

WorldQuant's culture combines academic sensibility with results-driven accountability. They value intellectual horsepower and encourage open thinking, challenging conventional wisdom, and continuous improvement. The environment is relaxed yet intellectually stimulating, perfect for those who think in code and thrive among like-minded individuals.

This position offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in quantitative finance, implementing low latency, high throughput systems. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise in modern C++, distributed computing, and system architecture, though prior finance experience isn't mandatory.

Join a team where excellent ideas are valued regardless of their source, and where you'll help build the roadmap to future success in systematic trading and investment strategies.
