Software Engineer

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 tools and infrastructure used by Quantitative Researchers. In this role, you will be working with others to provide cutting-edge technology solutions that improve our existing trading architecture. You will have an opportunity to work on high-impact projects that influence the entire 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: €4,000 - €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.
