SystemCanada seeks C++ Developer
Position Description
Advanced C++ developer to work on market data components such as feed handlers, parsers, value-add servers that compute derived quantities such as vwap, traded volume, etc. across asset classes (FX, Fixed Income, Equities, Futures, Options).
Knowledge of markets is a strong plus. Should have a very strong understanding of principles of object-oriented design, optimization for extreme performance, template classes, memory management, I/O, multi-threading, and communications (TCP and multicast). Linux should be the native development operating system - no Windows crossovers. Should understand debugging with gdb, performance verification and optimization tools like Purify and Quantify.
Attention to detail is important. Practicality is paramount - We work in an extremely fast-paced environment. We cannot afford perfection, but are looking to develop aggressively to deliver per business requirements on tight timelines. Learning on the job is limited to learning the context, not learning computer science skills.
Skills Required
1. Advanced knowledge of C++, including templates
2. TCP and Multicast communications
3. Multithreading, low-level primitives, atomic variables, mutex, condition variable, understanding of pthreads even if using C++ libraries like Boost
4. STL (Standard Template Library)
5. Boost, including event handling
6. Unix low-level
7. Perl and shell scripting
8. Superlative English verbal and written communication
9. Quick to learn and curious about all things
Skills Desired
1. Knowledge of common formats used such as FIX, FAST, etc.
2. Knowledge of finance - various asset classes and their characteristics, particularly with respect to market data, settlement and clearing.
Applicant must have legal work authorization to work in Canada.
