  • SaaS and IAM Security: Oversee and fortify SaaS applications, such as Google Workspace, alongside implementing top-tier IAM system practices like OKTA. Strengthen access controls, monitor user activities, and minimize IAM-related security vulnerabilities.
  • Blockchain Collaboration: Partner with the Donjon Team to provide operational support for blockchain-related concerns, incorporating relevant detection systems into SIEM and responding to blockchain-specific incidents, in addition to focusing on your primary responsibilities.
  • Automation and Efficiency: Introduce security automation mechanisms employing tools such as GitHub Actions to refine detection, triage, and response workflows.
  • Vulnerability Management: Prioritize and track vulnerabilities via tools like Wiz and SBOM repositories, ensuring prompt resolution throughout SaaS and cloud domains.
  • Collaboration & Documentation: Engage with Threat Intelligence, Engineering, and Product Security teams to align and enhance security protocols. Create documentation including playbooks, detection rules, and methodologies for optimum operational efficacy and knowledge dispersion.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: A minimum of 3 years in security operations, particularly within scale-up settings. Knowledge of Web3 and blockchain security is crucial, with an understanding that working on blockchain-specific risks may involve collaboration with the Donjon Team.

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

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
