Junior 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 motivated and talented Junior Software Engineer who can help us improve our trading infrastructure, research tooling, implement trading strategies and integrate new exchanges. Performance optimizations and algorithmic challenges are integral to our daily life.

What We Expect From You

• Passion for software engineering.
• You tend to understand more than other engineers at a similar level of experience and consistently dig deeper to build a stronger grasp of the subject.
• You have some understanding of what makes code perform faster.
• You enjoy learning new topics for fun, even if you don't have any practical application for it.
• You have good knowledge of one of the following languages - C#/Java/GO/C/C++.

We Would Consider as an Advantage

• Low level programming knowledge.
• Strong fundamental knowledge of algorithms and data structures.

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 ambitions are sky-high but calculated. Our goal is to become one of the great quantitative research firms on this continent, and we fully recognize the magnitude of that challenge.
• 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: 3,500 - €5,000 gross per month based on your qualifications, competencies, and professional experience.
• Small but important perks — 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.
