Infra Developer
About Edelweiss Global Markets
Edelweiss Global Markets is the proprietary trading and treasury arm of the Edelweiss Group, managing the firm’s capital across asset classes and geographies. For over two decades, we have been at the forefront of derivatives, options, and high‑frequency trading in India and Asia‑Pacific.
Our edge comes from deep quantitative thinking, disciplined risk management, and world‑class technology. We build our systems in‑house, operate at scale, and continuously push the boundaries of speed, reliability, and innovation.
At Edelweiss Global Markets, technology is not a support function - it is the business.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Developer to join our Core Engineering team, which builds and runs the ultra‑low‑latency trading platforms that power our quantitative and high‑frequency strategies.
This role sits at the heart of our trading stack. You will design and engineer systems that ingest market data, make real‑time decisions, manage risk, and execute trades across exchanges - all in microseconds. The quality of your code directly impacts trading performance, capital protection, and P&L.
This is a role for engineers who thrive on hard problems, extreme performance requirements, and real ownership.
What You Will Do
- Design and build high‑frequency trading infrastructure - market data ingestion, order routing, execution gateways, and real‑time services
- Optimize systems using low‑level C++, Linux internals, and network programming to achieve minimum latency and maximum throughput
- Build and enhance automated risk controls, real‑time reconciliation, and monitoring systems
- Develop tools for historical market data access, back‑testing, and trading simulations
- Partner closely with traders, quant strategists, and UAT/support teams to deliver production‑ready systems
- Take ownership of systems running in live markets and contribute to architecture decisions and hiring for the Core Engineering team
What You Need to Succeed
- 2+ years of hands‑on experience in modern C++ with a strong focus on performance, memory management, data structures, and algorithms
- Deep understanding of Linux systems, multithreading, concurrency, and network programming
- Proven ability to build and operate mission‑critical, high‑performance systems
- Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work calmly in fast‑moving, high‑stakes environments
- Exposure to financial markets, trading systems, or low‑latency environments
- Experience with Python, Java, or Shell scripting for tooling and automation
Why Join Edelweiss Global Markets?
- Direct P&L impact: Your code runs in live markets and materially affects trading outcomes
- Engineering‑led culture: Decisions are driven by performance, data, and first‑principles thinking - not bureaucracy
- Ownership & autonomy: Engineers own systems end‑to‑end, from design to production
- Elite problem space: Work on some of the most challenging systems engineering problems in India
- Long‑term platform: Build a career in a firm that has consistently invested in technology, people, and innovation
If you want to build systems where every microsecond matters, this role is for you.
