Senior Rust Developer
We're looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join our core engineering team and own the systems that sit closest to the market. This means low-latency order execution engines, high-throughput market data pipelines, real-time streaming infrastructure, and integrations with both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Every millisecond and every line of code matters here, and you'll be the person making sure it all holds up under pressure. This is not a role for someone who wants to write Rust adjacent to trading. You'll be building the backbone of live production systems where correctness, safety, and raw performance have direct P&L consequences. You'll work alongside quantitative researchers and other engineers to implement and deploy strategies, and you'll have meaningful input into the infrastructure decisions that shape how we build and scale. If you've spent years pushing Rust to its limits in high-performance environments and you want that work to matter in real markets in real time, this is the role.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain high-throughput, low-latency trading systems in Rust
Develop and optimize order execution engines, market data feeds, and real-time processing pipelines
Build reliable integrations with centralized and decentralized exchanges across CEX and DEX environments
Architect systems for real-time streaming data and WebSocket communication at scale
Write safe, well-tested concurrent code leveraging async runtimes including Tokio and async-std
Collaborate with quantitative researchers to implement and deploy trading strategies into production
Profile, benchmark, and eliminate performance bottlenecks across critical system paths
Contribute to infrastructure decisions around deployment, observability, and fault tolerance
Requirements
5+ years of professional software engineering experience
2+ years building and maintaining production systems in Rust, and you will be tested on it
Deep command of Rust's ownership model, lifetimes, traits, and async patterns
Experience with high-performance networking including TCP/UDP, WebSockets, and gRPC
Strong understanding of concurrency primitives and lock-free data structures
Familiarity with financial systems, trading platforms, or real-time data pipelines
Linux systems programming and performance tuning experience
Comfortable working independently 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
Open-source Rust contributions
Experience with FPGA or kernel-bypass networking such as DPDK or io_uring
Familiarity with quantitative trading concepts including order books and market microstructure
Infrastructure experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, or Prometheus/Grafana
