Chris Gorry — Business Development Executive
I’m a Principal Recruitment Consultant specialising in quantitative development and low latency trading engineering, working with teams that build the fastest and most reliable systems in the industry. I focus on roles across C++, Rust and Python, partnering mainly with buy-side firms in options, equities and crypto, with the occasional sell-side team across the US, Europe and APAC. I take a technical and consultative approach to every search, taking time to understand how a desk is structured, how the strategies operate day-to-day, and where the real latency or throughput constraints sit before I even start mapping the market. It means I can speak the same language as the engineers I represent and the hiring managers I support. Before moving into recruitment, I worked as a C++ engineer in the video-game industry shipping performance-critical systems. I genuinely find this helps me have deeper conversations around architecture, concurrency, networking and optimisation - and filter for people who can operate at that level. Ultimately, my goal is to be a straightforward, informed partner who gives honest market feedback, delivers strong shortlists quickly, and runs a process that respects everyone’s time and leads to long-term success.
