Senior Rust Developer

Full time
Remote
About the Role
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

Quantitative Researcher

Full time
Remote
We're looking for a Quant Researcher to join us remotely and take direct ownership of the research lifecycle, from raw data exploration all the way through to live strategy deployment. You'll work closely with our trading and engineering teams to develop, test, and continuously refine the models and algorithms that drive real P&L outcomes across crypto markets. This is a high-ownership role with meaningful exposure to live markets from day one. You won't be running support research in the background, you'll be a core contributor shaping the strategies we actually trade. That means working with large and often unconventional datasets, identifying exploitable statistical patterns in volatile and illiquid market conditions, and translating rigorous mathematical research into production-ready code that performs when it counts.
Responsibilities
Develop, backtest, and continuously improve quantitative trading models and algorithms, translating mathematical insights into production-ready code
Collaborate with trading and development teams to refine existing strategies and build new ones with a direct focus on P&L impact
Work through large and complex datasets to identify patterns, validate hypotheses, and stress-test models against real market conditions
Conceptualize valuation frameworks, improve mathematical models, and maintain strategy performance in live environments
Conduct ongoing statistical research into crypto market microstructure and price dynamics using both conventional and unconventional data sources
 
Requirements
Advanced degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or a related quantitative field
Strong proficiency in probability and statistics, including time-series analysis, machine learning, and pattern recognition applied to financial data
Hands-on programming experience in Python, with familiarity in R or MATLAB and ideally some exposure to compiled languages like C++
Prior experience in crypto markets, digital asset trading, or algorithmic finance
Proven ability to work in a data-driven research environment with minimal direction
Rigorous, evidence-based approach to problem-solving with the ability to move quickly from hypothesis to testable implementation
