It is the infrastructure behind every research breakthrough, every trading decision and every competitive advantage.\nAs a Software Engineer, you'll work on systems where performance, reliability and precision matter at an extraordinary scale. You'll partner closely with software engineers and quantitative researchers to build technology that processes enormous volumes of market data, powers quantitative research and supports live trading.\nYou'll take on problems that don't have obvious answers - from designing high-performance systems and distributed infrastructure to eliminating bottlenecks measured in microseconds and building tools that make our researchers and engineers faster.\nYour work will go into production, be measured against real-world performance and have a direct impact on how our trading systems operate.\nIf you enjoy solving hard engineering problems, understanding systems at a deep level and pushing technology to its limits, you'll feel right at home.\nWhat You'll Work On\nYou'll work across the engineering stack that powers our quantitative research and trading platforms.\nDepending on your team, your work may include:\nDesigning and building high-performance, low-latency systems in modern C++.\nBuilding distributed systems that process and analyze massive volumes of market data.\nDesigning systems where latency, throughput and reliability directly influence trading performance.\nWorking on Linux systems, networking, concurrency and multithreaded applications.\nProfiling systems, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing performance at the hardware and software level.\nBuilding robust infrastructure that supports quantitative research and live trading.\nDebugging complex production systems and solving problems where correctness and reliability are critical.\nDesigning internal platforms and developer tools that accelerate research and engineering productivity.\nExploring AI-powered developer tools and intelligent automation to improve engineering workflows.\nCollaborating with quantitative researchers to turn ideas and models into reliable production systems.\nParticipating in architecture discussions, technical design reviews and code reviews.\nTaking ownership of systems from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement.\nThe problems are hard. The systems are real. And the impact is measurable.\nThe Engineering Challenge\nAt Graviton, you'll encounter engineering problems where traditional solutions aren't always good enough.\nYou'll think about questions like:\nHow do you make a system faster without compromising correctness?\nHow do you process enormous amounts of data without introducing unnecessary latency?\nHow do you design software that remains reliable under extreme workloads?\nHow do you find a bottleneck that exists for only a few microseconds?\nHow do you build infrastructure that enables researchers to experiment faster?\nHow do you balance performance, simplicity and maintainability in systems that operate at extraordinary speed?\nYou'll be expected not just to write code, but to understand the system, challenge assumptions and find better ways to solve the problem.\nOwnership From Day One\nAt Graviton, engineers are trusted with meaningful problems early.\nYou'll work closely with experienced engineers and quantitative researchers, receive thoughtful technical feedback and have the opportunity to own projects end-to-end.\nThat means going beyond implementation:\nUnderstand the problem → design the solution → build it → measure it → improve it → take it to production.\nYou'll participate in code reviews, architecture discussions and technical design sessions, while learning from people who have spent years building high-performance systems.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nOver time, successful engineers at Graviton:\nOwn critical systems and engineering projects end-to-end.\nBuild software that directly supports quantitative research and live trading.\nSolve complex performance, scalability and reliability challenges.\nMake systems faster, simpler and more robust.\nDevelop a deep understanding of the systems they build - from application code down to hardware and networking.\nChallenge existing approaches and introduce better solutions.\nBecome trusted technical partners to quantitative researchers and other engineers.\nContinuously raise the engineering standards of the teams they work with.\nYour impact isn't measured by how much code you write. It's measured by what that code enables.\nWho We're Looking For\nWe're looking for exceptional engineers who enjoy building things, understanding how systems work and solving problems that require deep technical thinking.\nEducation\nDegree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering or another highly analytical field.\nCGPA of 8.5 or above.\nNo active backlogs.\nTechnical Foundation\nYou should have:\nStrong programming skills, preferably in C++.\nExcellent understanding of data structures, algorithms and object-oriented programming.\nStrong fundamentals in operating systems, computer architecture and networking.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving ability.\nA passion for writing clean, efficient and reliable software.\nPrior experience with high-performance computing, distributed systems, Linux, networking or quantitative trading is valuable, but we care more about your ability to learn, reason and solve difficult problems.\nWhat We Value\nBeyond technical skills, we're interested in how you think.\nWe look for engineers who are:\nCurious enough to understand how things work beneath the surface.\nAnalytical enough to break down complex problems.\nPersistent enough to keep digging when the obvious solution doesn't work.\nPragmatic enough to balance performance, correctness and simplicity.\nDetail-oriented enough to care about the edge cases.\nCollaborative enough to challenge and learn from others.\nAmbitious enough to keep raising the bar.\nWhy Graviton?\nReal Engineering Problems: Work on systems where performance, reliability and correctness have a direct impact on trading.\nExceptional People: Learn alongside some of the strongest software engineers and quantitative researchers in the industry.\nTechnology at the Edge: Work with high-performance computing, low-latency networks, distributed systems and advanced engineering infrastructure.\nMeaningful Ownership: Take responsibility for real systems and projects from design through production.\nFlat by Design: There are no layers between a good idea and the people who can build it. Ideas matter more than titles.\nRewards That Match Impact: Competitive compensation with performance-driven growth and the opportunity to build a long-term career at one of the world's most technically demanding trading firms.\nAbout Graviton Research Capital: Founded in 2014, Graviton Research Capital has grown from a small team of researchers and technologists into a global quantitative trading firm.\nOur success is built on exceptional people, rigorous research and world-class engineering.\nAcross specialized trading teams, quantitative researchers and engineers work together to solve some of the most challenging problems in financial markets. Teams operate with significant autonomy while sharing a common ambition: to continuously push the boundaries of mathematics, technology and quantitative research.\nWe believe that exceptional outcomes come from giving exceptional people the freedom to think deeply, move quickly and build things that matter.\nBuild What Moves Markets.\nSolve hard problems. Build exceptional systems.
