C , Algo, Low Latency, Interest Rates

My client is seeking an engineer to work on their custom synthetic spread trading platform where you'd be implementing low-latency algorithms for Interest Rate Futures and UST Bonds. The stack is primarily C /C in a high-frequency environment where microseconds matter. They have 2 devs looking after the C side: they need someone to spearhead C Algo development.
