About The Role We are seeking a highly motivated and passionate Graduate Software Engineer to join a high-performance team focused on developing ultra-low-latency solutions using C++. This is an exceptional opportunity for recent graduates or junior engineers who have demonstrated their technical skills through personal projects or extracurricular coding initiatives. The role offers the chance to work on live, impactful projects from day one, contributing to cutting-edge systems that demand efficiency, precision, and innovation. You will be supported by a dedicated mentor and integrated into a collaborative environment that values knowledge sharing and professional growth. The position can be based in London, Cambridge, or remotely from the UK, providing flexibility to suit your preferences. Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess a degree in Computer Science or a related field, with a strong foundation in programming and software development. Candidates must have an extensive portfolio of personal coding projects, ideally hosted on GitHub or similar platforms, showcasing their skills in C++ or related languages. A genuine enthusiasm for technology and a proactive approach to learning are essential. Candidates with experience in low-level programming, such as projects involving compilers, networking, or operating systems, will stand out. It is crucial that applicants can demonstrate their technical capabilities through concrete examples of their work, as a lack of a portfolio or code samples will be a significant barrier to consideration. Responsibilities

• Develop high-performance C++ applications optimized for low latency and high throughput.
• Design and implement low-latency networking solutions to support real-time data processing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on live projects, contributing to system architecture and code development from inception to deployment.

• Engage in continuous learning and skill development through mentorship and team knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of code, processes, and technical specifications to support ongoing development and maintenance.
• Adhere to best practices in software engineering, including version control, testing, and documentation.
