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. Successful completion leads to a full-time offer.

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

• Currently in the penultimate or final year of a CS/engineering undergraduate or Master’s program
• Strong C++ (C++14 or later), comfortable reading performance-sensitive code
• Comfortable on Linux with Git and shell scripting
• Bonus: exposure to low-latency systems, market data, or trading infrastructure
• Legally eligible to work in the People’s Republic of China

Compensation

• Stipend from 1500 RMB / day
• Meals on working days
• Relocation assistance if applicable
