01 For infrastructure & systems engineers

Big tech pays well. HFT pays you what you're worth.

I pull the best infrastructure engineers out of Big Tech and onto the fastest desks in the world. Already on a desk? You too.

02 Why engineers take my call

I represent a handful of engineers. I turn away most.

Most recruiters don't know what your stack does — they match on keywords and hope. I'm studying maths and CS at UNSW so I know what actually matters where, match you to the desks that genuinely fit, and don't waste your time on the ones that don't.

That's the whole pitch.

03 Who I represent

You're at Google, Meta, Nvidia. You think HFT isn't for you. It is.

The infra skills that make you exceptional there are exactly what the fastest desks fight over here:

  • Networking, Linux, performancemarket-data & execution systems
  • Observability & metricslatency telemetry, chasing the p99
  • Reliability at scaleuptime when downtime costs millions
  • C++ hot path, FPGAlow-latency expanding

You don't need a finance degree. You don't need to be a quant. You don't need "HFT experience." You need to be a serious engineer. I handle the bridge.

Already in the industry? You're the <10% I still take on — you know what you bring, and I'll find where it's worth more.

04 What you get

01

Access

Desks that never post. I know who's building before they announce it.

02

Discretion

Your name goes to a firm only when you say so. No mass submissions, no shared pools, and your current employer never hears a thing.

03

Intelligence

What desks actually pay — base, sign-on, bonus, the lot. You'll stop guessing.

04

Leverage

I negotiate. You get the number you should — not the one you'd have settled for.

05 How it works

01

One quiet call. No CV.

02

I come back only when it's real.

03

You stay invisible until you say go.

04

I negotiate. You decide.
