This team builds and operates the C++ backend services that power Millennium's real-time risk and P&L platform - a distributed system of microservices running on AWS/Kubernetes, processing large-scale financial data with strict latency requirements. You will work on production services that run 24/5, collaborating closely with quantitative developers, platform engineers, and business stakeholders.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, build, and operate high-performance C++ services that compute real-time pricing, risk, and P&L across fixed income and credit instruments\nOwn service reliability end-to-end: 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 - profiling hotspots, reducing memory allocations, improving cache behavior, and tuning throughput under load\nIntegrate C++ services with upstream and downstream systems via Kafka, Protobuf, and internal APIs\nContribute to the CI/CD pipeline: automated regression testing, A/B deployment, and blue/green release management\nPromote engineering best practices: code review, exception safety, RAII patterns, and robust error handling in a multi-threaded environment\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor's degree from a leading university in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline; advanced qualifications are a plus\nUp to 5 years of professional experience in C++ service/systems development\nStrong hands-on experience with modern C++ (C++17/C++20): move semantics, smart pointers, RAII, templates, constexpr\nSolid understanding of multithreading and concurrency: mutexes, atomics, lock-free structures, thread pools, and race condition debugging\nExperience building and operating long-running backend services (not just libraries or batch jobs)\nFamiliarity with service-oriented architecture, message queues (Kafka or similar), and serialization frameworks (Protobuf, FlatBuffers)\nProficiency with Linux, GDB/LLDB, profiling tools (perf, Valgrind, AddressSanitizer), and CI/CD pipelines\nStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills - comfortable diagnosing production issues under pressure\nClear communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams in a fast-paced environment\nNice to Have\nExperience with reactive or event-driven programming patterns\nFamiliarity with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes)\nExposure to financial services, pricing models, or risk systems","description_format":"text","description_chars":2772,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T07:37:06Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":110,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-c-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-c-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T02:07:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1531,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3469,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
