The team collaborates closely with quantitative developers, platform engineers, and business stakeholders to support production services that operate 24/5.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, build, and operate high-performance C++ services that calculate real-time pricing, risk, and P&L across fixed income and credit instruments.\nOwn service reliability end to end, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root cause analysis in a live production environment.\nWrite thread-safe, exception-safe C++ code for concurrent, near-real-time workloads with hard latency targets.\nOptimize service performance by profiling hotspots, reducing memory allocations, improving cache behavior, and tuning throughput under load.\nIntegrate C++ services with upstream and downstream systems using Kafka, Protobuf, and internal APIs.\nContribute to CI/CD pipelines, including automated regression testing, A/B deployment, and blue/green release management.\nPromote engineering best practices through code reviews, exception safety, RAII patterns, and robust error handling in a multithreaded environment.\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline; advanced qualifications are a plus.\nPrevious experience developing C++ services or systems.\nStrong hands-on experience with modern C++ (C++17/C++20), including move semantics, smart pointers, RAII, templates, and constexpr.\nSolid understanding of multithreading and concurrency, including mutexes, atomics, lock-free structures, thread pools, and race condition debugging.\nExperience building and operating long-running backend services, along with familiarity with service-oriented architecture, message queues such as Kafka, and serialization frameworks such as Protobuf or FlatBuffers.\nProficiency with Linux, GDB/LLDB, profiling tools such as perf, Valgrind, and AddressSanitizer, and CI/CD pipelines.\nStrong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills, including the ability to diagnose production issues under pressure and collaborate across teams in a fast-paced environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T19:56:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":90,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T21:06:46Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-c-developer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-c-developer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T21:06:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":44651,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":704283},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=704283"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-c-developer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-c-developer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-c-developer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/millennium-management-c-developer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-c-developer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4193189}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mlp.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4193189},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
