Trexquant is a growing systematic fund at the forefront of quantitative finance, with a team of world-class researchers and engineers. As we continue to expand our trading operations, we are investing heavily in building the next generation of our quantitative research & trading platform. Our Infrastructure Engineers are embedded within the following teams:

C++ Trading Engineer As a member of the Engineering team, you will focus on developing high-performance trading systems, designing and optimizing short-term trading signals in a high-frequency environment with strict latency and efficiency requirements. You will also support independent trading activities by building robust C++ systems, collaborating with researchers and technologists, and delivering solutions that have a direct and measurable impact on trading performance

C++ Simulation Engineer As a C++ Simulator Engineer, you will work closely with quantitative researchers and traders to design, develop, and optimize high-performance systems for algorithmic trading. Your responsibilities will include building and maintaining the core infrastructure for trading simulations

Data Infrastructure Engineer As a member of the Data team, you will focus on financial and market data development, building scalable, distributed pipelines for systematic web scraping and ingestion of diverse data sources, with strict latency and reliability requirements. You will also work on developing exchange connectivity solutions by creating high-performance C++ handlers to capture, process, and integrate real-time market data feeds

When you apply for an Infrastructure role at Trexquant, we will first assess you on the core skills required for the Engineering team. During the interview process, we will be able to get to know you better, learn about your strengths and match you to the best team that closely aligns with your skills and preference.
