Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DVTrading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DVgroup affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser.\nOverview:\nWe are building out the next generation of our proprietary electronic trading platform - a greenfield, event-based trading and market data system covering pricing, execution, and risk management - and we are looking for a senior C++ engineer to help lead that effort. You will design and build the systems our trading desks depend on every day: ultra-low-latency execution engines, market data pipelines, order and risk management, and direct connectivity to the world’s major futures and commodities exchanges. This is a hands-on senior role on a small team with broad ownership across the trading stack - the code you write goes to production and trades real markets.\nJob Responsibilities:\nLead the design, implementation, and deployment of DV Commodities' core C++ trading platform: execution, order management, market data, pricing, and risk.\nDesign and maintain direct exchange connectivity - order entry gateways and feed handlers for venues such as CME (iLink 3 / MDP 3.0), ICE, and other futures and commodities markets.\nDrive microsecond- and nanosecond-level performance work: lock-free data structures, cache-aware design, kernel-bypass networking, CPU pinning and NUMA tuning, and rigorous latency measurement.\nWork directly with trading desks on new feature requests, pricing, and execution algos, and with quants and developers on cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and solve complex problems.\nBuild high-performance components for both simulation and live trading.\nOwn systems end to end - design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support in a live trading environment.\n\nRequirements:\n7+ years of professional C++ development, with deep command of modern C++ (17/20), templates, move semantics, memory models, and concurrency. \nProven experience building low-latency, high-throughput, multi-threaded systems for quantitative trading - ideally at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, hedge fund, or exchange. \nStrong knowledge of how exchanges work: order types, matching engine behavior, market microstructure, and native exchange protocols (e.g., iLink/MDP, native ICE, FIX/SBE). \nDirect experience with futures and/or commodities markets; energy markets (crude, refined products, natural gas) and swaps a strong plus. \nSystems-level fluency: Linux/Unix environments, git, TCP/UDP and multicast networking, kernel-bypass stacks (Onload, VMA, DPDK, or similar), and performance profiling. \n Experience with distributed systems, large data sets, and SQL, NoSQL, or tick databases.\nAbility to program in a scientific computing environment (Python/NumPy/pandas) for research and tooling. \nStrong verbal and written communication skills; sound judgment in production trading environments. \nBachelor’s degree or higher in CS, Engineering, or another technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\nBenefits:\nDiscretionary bonus eligibility\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance\nHSA, FSA, and Dependent Care Options\nEmployer Paid Group Term Life and AD&D insurance\nVoluntary LTD, Life & AD&D insurance\nFlexible Vacation policy\nRetirement plan with employer match\nDVis not accepting unsolicited resumes from search firms.
