About the Role
Millennium is seeking a Quantitative Developer to join the Information Technology organization. This role involves building and operating C++ backend services for a real-time risk and P&L platform, supporting a distributed system of microservices on AWS/Kubernetes. The team works on production services that run 24/5, collaborating with quantitative developers, platform engineers, and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate high-performance C++ services for real-time pricing, risk, and P&L across fixed income and credit instruments.
- Own service reliability end-to-end, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root cause analysis in a live production environment.
- Write thread-safe, exception-safe C++ code for concurrent, near-real-time workloads with hard latency targets.
- Optimize service performance by profiling, reducing memory allocations, improving cache behavior, and tuning throughput.
- Integrate C++ services with upstream and downstream systems using Kafka, Protobuf, and internal APIs.
- Contribute to the CI/CD pipeline, including automated regression testing, A/B deployment, and blue/green release management.
- Promote engineering best practices such as code review, RAII patterns, and robust error handling in a multi-threaded environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Up to 5 years of professional experience in C++ service/systems development.
- Strong hands-on experience in modern C++ (C++17/C++20), including move semantics, smart pointers, RAII, templates, and constexpr.
- Solid understanding of multithreading and concurrency concepts.
- Experience building and operating long-running backend services.
- Familiarity with service-oriented architecture, message queues (Kafka or similar), and serialization frameworks (Protobuf, FlatBuffers).
- Proficiency with Linux, GDB/LLDB, profiling tools, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose production issues under pressure.
- Experience with reactive or event-driven programming patterns is ideal.
- Experience with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) is ideal.
- Exposure to financial services, pricing models, or risk systems is ideal.
