Senior C++ Network Programmer

Waterfront International is a Toronto-based financial consulting firm, specializing in developing computer based statistical trading strategies. Waterfront’s selective hiring process considers only highly talented individuals with a history of exceptional professional and academic achievement, and solid real-world experience.

Join our team developing and administering leading edge, non-stop, global 24x7 financial trading systems. We develop real-time trading applications utilizing the latest hardware running Linux OS.

Our growing team seeks a highly talented C/C++/Linux/X Window programmer to work on components of our trading systems - enhancing the existing systems, developing real-time GUI displays and directly supporting technical and non-technical users.

Primary Responsibilities:
• Developing new software as well as enhancing existing systems.
• Working with distributed, multithreaded systems with a strong emphasis on performance and latency.
• Developing real-time, X Window GUI displays for financial trading systems.
• Fast paced development environment.
• A very technical role - 10% analysis, 90% programming.

Essential skills:
• C/C++/Linux Programming.
• X Window programming using QT.
• Multithreaded programming.

Requirements of the Candidate include:
• 5+ years of professional C/C++ programming experience in a Linux/UNIX environment.
