London | Hybrid (2-3 days per week) | Competitive salary + bonus

Ncounter is partnering with a leading trading technology group to hire an exceptional C++ Software Engineer to build and evolve high-performance order gateway systems used in fast-moving fixed income markets. This is a hands-on role developing ultra-low-latency services that handle order validation, routing and exchange connectivity - the backbone of real-time trading.

You’ll join a collaborative team of developers, quants and platform engineers, working across a high-availability C++ codebase to deliver fast, resilient and observable services. You’ll be empowered to design, implement and test software that directly impacts trading performance, scalability and reliability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop high-throughput order gateway components in modern C++

• Implement robust connectivity, order validation and routing logic for fixed income markets

• Profile and optimise multi-threaded code paths, eliminating performance bottlenecks

• Apply concurrency, lock-free and memory-efficient techniques to maximise throughput

• Collaborate with quantitative researchers, traders and SRE teams to deliver reliable releases

• Contribute to automated testing, verification and CI/CD pipelines

• Provide 2nd/3rd line application support, analysing production telemetry and driving improvements

Core Skills & Experience:

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or later) and STL

• Deep understanding of multi-threading, low-latency optimisation and Linux systems

• Experience working on high-frequency or real-time systems (financial or otherwise)

• Familiarity with network programming, serialization and distributed architectures

• Strong analytical and debugging skills, using profiling tools to measure performance

• Exposure to Python, Bash, or similar for automation and testing is advantageous

• Knowledge of fixed income products (corporate bonds, treasuries, IRS, CDS) is helpful

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of a global trading platform, building technology that traders and researchers rely on every day. If you’re a passionate C++ engineer who thrives on writing elegant, high-performance code, we’d love to hear from you.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cloud computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
