About VNT Technologies
VNT Technologies is a quantitative research and technology firm focused on developing algorithmic trading infrastructure. We combine mathematical modelling, software engineering, and low-latency technologies to build systematic trading architecture for financial markets.
If you’re excited about solving hard technical problems, working with real-time systems, and seeing your code impact markets, you belong with us.
About the Position
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer responsible for developing low-latency trading infrastructure, an execution engine, exchange integrations, and trading strategies. You will have the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that influence the organization.
How You Will Make an Impact
-
Develop and maintain algorithmic trading infrastructure.
-
Improve performance and latency characteristics of critical software components.
-
Build and maintain tools for data processing, model evaluation, and system monitoring.
-
Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term technical direction.
-
Collaborate with researchers and engineers on implementation details.
-
Debug and resolve issues in production-grade systems.
What You Bring to the Team
-
Deep understanding of one of the following languages: C#, Rust, C++, C, Java, Golang, Assembly. If you use a feature, we expect you to understand how it works and why it exists.
-
You can explain where performance comes from and why some code is faster or slower — whether for technical or algorithmic reasons.
We Would Consider as an Advantage
-
Familiarity with AWS and Linux.
-
Experience in low-level development.
-
Experience and knowledge in quantitative finance or algorithmic trading.
What Does Not Matter
-
Years of experience — mastery takes time, but we don’t put arbitrary numbers on it.
-
Your previous industry — finance or trading experience is not required.
The bar is high, but don’t be intimidated — different people shine in different ways. If you’re curious, driven, and enjoy solving meaningful problems, you’ll fit right in.
Life at VNT Technologies
-
Our team is shaped by diverse backgrounds and career paths. Some bring strong academic credentials - graduates of Cambridge and Oxford, medalists in International Olympiads, and PhDs. Others built exceptional expertise through hands-on experience and deep curiosity. What unites everyone is a passion for solving hard problems.
-
While we expect a significant contribution from every team member, work–life balance matters to us. We do not believe that overworked or burned-out people can give us any edge.
-
We offer strong compensation, a fascinating business domain, and an unlimited supply of deep and exotic technical challenges.
What We Offer
-
Base salary range: €5,000 - €10,000 gross per month based on your qualifications, competencies, and professional experience.
-
Year-end performance-based bonus.
-
Small but important perks — parking, private health insurance, high-end equipment, tooling of your choice, and more.
-
Regular team buildings to strengthen our teamwork.
-
Real ownership and real impact from day one.
-
A friendly, collaborative culture where good ideas can come from anyone.
-
Office at the heart of the business district - “Europa” Business Center, Vilnius, Lithuania.
