Software Engineer (2027 Graduate) at Graviton in Gurugram, Haryana, India

Job description

• Build technology where every nanosecond matters.
• At Graviton, software isn't just a tool that supports trading. It is the infrastructure behind every research breakthrough, every trading decision and every competitive advantage.
• As a Software Engineer, you'll work on systems where performance, reliability and precision matter at an extraordinary scale. You'll partner closely with software engineers and quantitative researchers to build technology that processes enormous volumes of market data, powers quantitative research and supports live trading.
• You'll take on problems that don't have obvious answers — from designing high-performance systems and distributed infrastructure to eliminating bottlenecks measured in microseconds and building tools that make our researchers and engineers faster.
• Your work will go into production, be measured against real-world performance and have a direct impact on how our trading systems operate.
• If you enjoy solving hard engineering problems, understanding systems at a deep level and pushing technology to its limits, you'll feel right at home.

Responsibilities

• You'll work across the engineering stack that powers our quantitative research and trading platforms.
• Designing and building high-performance, low-latency systems in modern C++.
• Building distributed systems that process and analyze massive volumes of market data.
• Designing systems where latency, throughput and reliability directly influence trading performance.
• Working on Linux systems, networking, concurrency and multithreaded applications.
• Profiling systems, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing performance at the hardware and software level.
• Building robust infrastructure that supports quantitative research and live trading.
• Debugging complex production systems and solving problems where correctness and reliability are critical.
• Designing internal platforms and developer tools that accelerate research and engineering productivity.
• Exploring AI-powered developer tools and intelligent automation to improve engineering workflows.
• Collaborating with quantitative researchers to turn ideas and models into reliable production systems.
• Participating in architecture discussions, technical design reviews and code reviews.
• Taking ownership of systems from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement.
• The problems are hard. The systems are real. And the impact is measurable.

Requirements

• We're looking for exceptional engineers who enjoy building things, understanding how systems work and solving problems that require deep technical thinking.
• Education
• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering or another highly analytical field.
• CGPA of 8.5 or above.
• No active backlogs.
• Technical Foundation
• Strong programming skills, preferably in C++.
• Excellent understanding of data structures, algorithms and object-oriented programming.
• Strong fundamentals in operating systems, computer architecture and networking.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
• A passion for writing clean, efficient and reliable software.
• Prior experience with high-performance computing, distributed systems, Linux, networking or quantitative trading is valuable, but we care more about your ability to learn, reason and solve difficult problems.
