About the role

**NOTE**: this is a non-salaried position. Equity offering only.

**Who We Are**

VisualHFT is an advanced analytics platform purpose-built for high-frequency trading environments. Designed for traders, quants, and financial engineers, we provide deep insights into execution quality, market microstructure, and real-time system performance — down to the microsecond.

As a pre-MVP, pre-revenue startup, we are crafting a precision toolset for modern electronic trading. We're building a platform that bridges HPC engineering with quantitative finance research, and this hire will be key to that effort.

Tasks

**What We’re Looking For**

  • Deep understanding of market microstructure and electronic trading mechanics
  • Strong experience in real-time or low-latency systems (C#, C++, or Rust preferred)
  • Proven work in HPC optimization: parallelization, memory layout tuning, zero-GC systems
  • Hands-on experience with financial research implementation (execution cost models, order flow analytics)
  • Comfortable with modular, plugin-based system architectures and high-throughput data pipelines

Requirements

  • Deep understanding of market microstructure and electronic trading mechanics
  • Strong experience in real-time or low-latency systems (C#, C++, or Rust preferred)
  • Proven work in HPC optimization: parallelization, memory layout tuning, zero-GC systems
  • Hands-on experience with financial research implementation (execution cost models, order flow analytics)
  • Comfortable with modular, plugin-based system architectures and high-throughput data pipelines

🌟 Bonus Points

  • Experience in an HFT, market-making, or algo execution environment
  • Familiarity with ITCH/FIX/OUCH protocols and exchange-specific microstructure behaviors
  • Understanding of infrastructure monitoring in trading systems (latency breakdowns, tick-to-trade analysis)
  • Exposure to quantitative strategy simulation and live production systems

Benefits

**What We Offer**

  • **Equity**: 1.5%–2.0% equity with a 4-year vesting schedule (1-year cliff)
  • Non salary until we get funded or revenue achieved
  • **Technical Leadership**: Core contributor to the logic powering VisualHFT’s analytics engine
  • **Impact**: Your work will be the foundation of VisualHFT’s edge in execution analytics and trading diagnostics
  • **Flexibility**: Fully remote, async-friendly team distributed across time zones
  • **Vision**: Build a toolset that becomes mission-critical to professional traders and quant funds
