At Wolverine Trading we’re looking for a Low-Level C++ Software Engineer to work at the intersection of hardware and software. Your focus will be on improving the performance of our critical and ultra-low latency trading systems, working on all parts of the trading systems stack.
The total compensation range for this role is approximately $130,000-$180,000 contingent on experience. Wolverine Trading's total compensation model includes base salary and an annual discretionary bonus.
What You'll Do:
Develop and improve performance-critical C++ applications, ensuring ultra-low latency and high throughput
Collaborate with FPGA engineers, hardware specialists, and systems teams to push performance boundaries
Analyze and resolve real-time system issues, improving the reliability and stability of our trading platforms
Build tools to monitor, profile, and analyze the performance of systems at every level
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
A minimum of 2+ years of professional C++ experience with a focus on high-performance applications
Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and modern C++ practices (C++17/20)
Experience and aptitude in multi-threaded programming and performance tuning
Ability to analyze experimental results and optimize system performance
Effective communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Most importantly: a drive to make things better
A Statement on Prior Trading Experience:
With an above average rate of tenure for our engineers, we value individuals who innately strive to push boundaries and pursue constant improvement. Given a long-term focus, the ability to innovate, challenge limits, and deliver lasting impact matters far more to us than prior exposure to the trading ecosystem.
Our flat organizational structure promotes teamwork across the Firm and offers easy access to senior staff (don't worry, they won't be wearing a suit either). While we work exceptionally well as a team in the office, our bonds are further strengthened through company events, activities and giving back. Volleyball, soccer, hockey, 5K runs, picnic, parties, and trivia nights provide friendly competition and build better relationships. By getting out of our usual environment and doing out-of-the-ordinary things together, we foster creativity and broaden our imaginations to accomplish new challenges.
