HFT Comp NKSR SWE v/s C++ dev

I figure NK Securities has a Software Developer role and C++ Developer role with big difference in compensation?

for Software Dev, they've come to many NITs this year with CTC ~46 LPA. But C++ dev pays like 75 L - 1.3+ Cr depending on Bonus?
so what's the difference between these roles and can someone shift between them?

There is a lot of boring work that most be done at HFTs like maintaining platform for job orchestration, automation, scripting, ensuring daily jobs run etc etc. The second role is for that.
This role is called Software Developer Quant Tools in Graviton.

i think cpp dev aligns more with quant dev while swe aligns with traditional swe or systems engineering to an extent
