Type: Full-time

This is how we work

Clients from around the world come to our platforms for online trading, making hundreds of transactions every second. They need asset prices to be as realistic as possible throughout the trading day, so fast pricing is vital. We’ve set an ambitious goal: to get our pricing done in less than 200 nanoseconds. Fancy helping us break this speed barrier in 2022? If so, read on to see what else this opportunity involves.

Deriv is a fast-paced company, where new products and projects are introduced all the time. To support this, we need a good foundation: fast, reliable, well-tested code that can either run directly on our servers — or in mobile/desktop/web clients. Each component is self-contained, but we encourage cross-team sharing for information and processes — your ideas might spark creativity in other projects.

We recalculate 30 million data points in real time, and our tech stack should support this volume. This isn’t a legacy codebase, either: expect to see C++20, coroutines and cutting-edge versions of Clang and GCC, running on various platforms including cross-compiled to WebAssembly. We’ve chosen C++ for its performance and portability but are also tracking the progress of such alternatives as Rust. In short, Deriv adapts to new technologies when the need arises, and we need you to do the same, so come with a bold, can-do attitude to master our tech stack.
