Middle Software Developer (C++)

Location: Dubai

Visa sponsorship and relocation support available

We are working with a high-performing digital asset trading firm in Dubai that’s hiring a Middle Software Engineer (C++).

This is a core trading infrastructure role, focused on building and optimising high-performance systems that interact directly with cryptocurrency exchanges. It’s not general backend development — the work is centred on speed, reliability, and low-latency systems where performance matters.

The role involves:

• Developing and maintaining connections to cryptocurrency exchanges and market data providers
• Building and improving core trading system components and platform features
• Analysing and troubleshooting market data issues
• Collaborating with traders, researchers, and engineers to ensure trading algorithms behave correctly
• Optimising systems that process high volumes of data in real time
• Contributing to the stability and performance of a fast-moving trading environment where efficiency and reliability are critical

They’re looking for:

• 3+ years of software development experience
• Strong C++ programming skills
• Experience working with high-load or performance-sensitive applications
• Good understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns
• Solid understanding of networking concepts
• Exposure to financial markets, distributed systems, or low-latency environments is beneficial

Nice to have:

• Experience with Python or Kafka
• Familiarity with REST, WebSockets, or FIX protocols
• Experience with AWS, Grafana, Kibana, or Prometheus

The environment is highly analytical, fast-paced, and performance-driven, where engineers work closely with trading teams and see the direct impact of their work on trading systems.

Salary: USD 70,000 – 100,000 + bonuses
