C++ Software Engineer
Optiver , Singapore
What you will do
We're looking for an experienced C++ software engineer to join our commodities technology team in Singapore, working closely with the trading desk. You'll build and evolve the systems that price, quote, and execute in our commodity markets — and just as importantly, the data, research, and backtesting infrastructure that powers our systematic and research-driven strategies. The work sits at the intersection of engineering, quantitative research, and trading, with immediate and measurable impact on the business. Your responsibilities will include:
- Partner closely with commodities traders and quant researchers to understand trading objectives — across pricing, quoting, execution, and systematic research — and translate these into robust software systems.
- Build the research, and backtesting infrastructure that powers our systematic strategies. Turn trader and quant ideas into parameterised, production-ready systems, and close the loop from research to live trading.
- Design and implement performance-sensitive trading components where latency matters, grounded in strong engineering fundamentals.
- Contribute to the architecture and evolution of our commodities trading platform — reliable, testable, and low-latency.
