At Susquehanna International Group (SIG), our technologists play a critical role in shaping the future of electronic trading. We build high-performance systems designed to compete in some of the most demanding and latency-sensitive markets in the world. Our developers collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and infrastructure teams to solve complex technical and strategic problems that drive significant business impact.

We're looking for a C++ Strategy Developer to join our Trading Technology team in Dublin. In this role, you’ll design, build, and optimise high-frequency trading systems that process massive data streams in real time. You’ll work side-by-side with experienced technologists and quantitative analysts, gaining deep exposure to the logic and technology that powers automated decision-making in global financial markets. Trading experience is beneficial but not required.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop low-latency, high-throughput trading applications using modern C++ in a real-time environment.
• Collaborate with quantitative researchers and technologists to implement and refine strategies.
• Build and tune systems to achieve optimal performance, reliability, and scalability in a competitive trading landscape.
• Optimise and troubleshoot infrastructure for latency, throughput, and system bottlenecks.
• Own the full software development lifecycle—from idea to production—while contributing to our long-term architecture and tooling.

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Professional experience developing performance-critical applications in modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20).
• Strong command of multi-threading, memory management, IPC, STL, Boost, and network/socket programming.
• Deep understanding of performance tuning, profiling, and optimisation methodologies.
• Familiarity with designing high-performance systems in real-time environments (prior trading or financial industry experience is a plus, but not required).
• Passion for solving challenging technical problems, iterating quickly, and writing clean, maintainable code.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Real Impact: Your work will be central to SIG’s technology operations, directly impacting decisions and performance in global markets.
• Collaboration: You'll partner directly with quants and technologists, working on cross-functional teams where your input truly matters.
