About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join our core engineering team and help build the backbone of our trading infrastructure. You'll work on latency-critical systems including order execution engines, market data pipelines, and on-chain integrations — all written in Rust for maximum performance and safety.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain high-throughput, low-latency trading systems in Rust
- Develop and optimize order matching engines, market data feeds, and execution pipelines
- Build reliable integrations with centralized and decentralized exchanges (CEX/DEX)
- Architect systems for real-time streaming data processing and WebSocket communication
- Write safe, well-tested concurrent code leveraging async runtimes (Tokio, async-std)
- Collaborate with quantitative researchers to implement and deploy trading strategies
- Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks through profiling and benchmarking
- Contribute to infrastructure decisions around deployment, observability, and fault tolerance
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- 2+ years building production systems in Rust
- Deep understanding of Rust's ownership model, lifetimes, traits, and async patterns
- Experience with high-performance networking (TCP/UDP, WebSockets, gRPC)
- Strong knowledge of concurrency primitives and lock-free data structures
- Familiarity with financial systems, trading platforms, or real-time data pipelines
- Experience with Linux systems programming and performance tuning
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
Nice to Have
- Experience with cryptocurrency exchanges, DeFi protocols, or blockchain RPC nodes
- Knowledge of FIX protocol or other financial messaging standards
- Contributions to open-source Rust projects
- Experience with FPGA or kernel-bypass networking (DPDK, io_uring)
- Familiarity with quantitative trading concepts (order books, market microstructure)
- Experience with infrastructure tooling: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus/Grafana
