Quant developer vs software engineer at HFT firm explained by an HFT Developer

#Quant_researcher vs #Software_Engineer at any HFT firm: Most of the time, quant researchers/developers are busy with strategy creation and converting them into code(It requires a really good understanding of maths, probability, and programming( mainly C++), etc). But apart from strategy creation, HFT firms do have to manage different components such as: 1. Exchange connectivity component(Layer that directly interacts with the outside world ie exchange) 2. Price server engine(That receives the price updates from the exchange) 3. Risk component(That helps to minimize the risk) etc etc. There are tons of other components as well that are mainly managed by software engineers.
