Core Trading Systems Engineer Intern

The role

You’ll build and own the C++ systems that are our market-making operation — the execution stack, market-data handling, risk, and the strategy runtime. When these systems are fast and correct, we trade; when they’re not, we don’t. Senior systems engineers and trader-engineers are your peers: they own the strategies, you own the infrastructure.

What you’ll do

  • Build, test, and operate the C++ services that trade live in APAC markets
  • Measure and reduce latency across the hot path
  • Design and deploy new components of the trading stack (pricing, execution, risk)
  • Investigate and fix production issues during live trading — from packet captures to application logs

What we’re looking for

  • Pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with an expected graduation date in 2027 or 2028
  • Proficient in C++ (C++14 or later) and comfortable reading performance-sensitive code
  • Comfortable working in a Linux environment with Git and shell scripting
  • Exposure to low-latency systems, market data, or trading infrastructure is a plus
  • Legally authorized to work in the People’s Republic of China

What we offer

  • Opportunity to receive a full-time offer upon successful completion of the internship
  • Stipend starting from RMB 2,000 per day
  • Meals on working days
  • Relocation assistance, where applicable
