Descripción de la oferta
**Title:** Senior C++ Developer for Pair Programming — Low-Latency / Performance-Focused **Project Type:** Fixed Price **Budget:** $250 - $300 (30 sessions total, ~$10/session) **Skills:** C++, Low Latency, Performance Optimization, Multithreading, Algorithm, Pair Programming, Software Architecture, Competitive Programming **Description:** Looking for a strong C++ developer to work with me in a pair programming capacity, focused on low-latency and performance-critical code. You don't need direct HFT industry experience, but you should have hands-on experience with projects in that space or adjacent — performance-sensitive systems, competitive programming at a high level, trading system side projects, game engines, embedded/real-time systems, or similar. I'm working toward roles in high-frequency trading and want to pair with someone who can help me build strong, practical C++ skills for that kind of environment. **What I'm looking for:** - Pair programming sessions — working through real problems together, writing the kind of code you'd need for low-latency systems - Low-latency C++ fundamentals — memory layout, cache behavior, lock-free programming, avoiding allocations on the hot path, branch prediction, SIMD basics, etc. - Code review and feedback with a critical, experienced eye - Practical knowledge transfer — profiling, benchmarking correctly, what actually matters vs. premature optimization - System/architecture discussions — how low-latency systems are typically structured (order book implementations, market data handling, etc.) **Ideal candidate:** - Strong, demonstrable C++ expertise (modern C++, ideally C++17/20) - Experience with performance-critical or low-latency-adjacent projects (doesn't need to be HFT specifically) - Comfortable pair programming and explaining your thinking out loud - Strong communicator — I want someone who can teach, not just write code silently - Available for 30 recurring 1-hour sessions **Please include in your bid:** - Relevant background — projects involving performance-critical or low-latency C++ work - How you'd approach a pair-programming arrangement like this - Your availability and timezone - Confirmation you're comfortable with the $250-300/30-session budget
