Senior Associate, Strategic Investments (Crypto)

Hey everyone,
 
I’m looking for recommendations or to connect directly with a marketing team / agency that genuinely understands the Forex trading space — especially community-led growth.
 
I run many public XAUUSD signals Telegram channel that has grown organically to 12,000+ members over the years (since 2020). No ads, no clickbait, no fake screenshots. The channel is completely free and will stay that way because the core idea has always been transparency and live testing rather than selling promises.
 
A few things about the community:
 
• Signals focused only on FX & XAUUSD
 
• Consistent average accuracy around ~78%
 
• Clear risk management & lot sizing shared with every setup
 
• Priority is always capital protection, not overtrading
 
• Everything is public so anyone can track performance in real time for as long as they want
 
The growth so far has been word-of-mouth and organic, but now I want to scale this community responsibly and reach 100,000+ free members this year without turning it into a hype machine.
 
I’m not looking for generic social media marketers. I’m specifically interested in people/agencies who:
 
• Understand traders, not just traffic
 
• Can grow communities ethically and sustainably
 
• Know how to position transparency as a strength (not fake luxury marketing)
 
• Have experience with Telegram / Instagram / Reddit / Trading communities
 
If you’re a marketer in this niche, or you’ve worked with someone solid before, I’d really appreciate guidance, referrals, or a conversation.
 
Thanks in advance 🙏
 
Happy to share more details in DMs.

Rivwake is an ambitious early-stage Web3 metaverse project built on Unreal Engine 5.
We are creating Overworld — an immersive metaverse with a strong focus on User Generated Content (UGC). Players will be able to play, create worlds, games, and assets.
The first game is Strifest — a competitive team-based arena shooter with building mechanics.
The project combines high-quality UE5 gameplay with real blockchain economy: NFT rewards, staking, tokens, and creator economy.
Who We Are Looking For (Two Main Roles):
1. Web3 Game Developer (Primary Role)
Web3 integration into UE5 (wallet connect, NFT minting/claiming, staking)
Smart contract development (Solidity)
Backend flow between the game and blockchain
P2E mechanics and token economy
2. Web3 Game QA Tester / Blockchain Tester
Testing NFT rewards, staking, and claiming mechanics
Testing Web3 integrations (wallets, transactions, on-chain events)
Finding and reporting blockchain-related bugs
Regression testing after updates
Testing economy and anti-exploit systems
Requirements:
For Developer:
Strong experience with Solidity and Smart Contracts
Web3 integration (wallets, NFT, staking)
Unreal Engine 5 experience is a big plus
For Tester:
Experience in Game QA or Web3/P2E testing
Good knowledge of blockchain and NFT mechanics
Ability to write detailed bug reports
Basic understanding of UE5 is a plus
General Conditions (for both roles):
Long-term collaboration (starting from 2-3 months)
30–40 hours per week
Fully remote
Rate: $55 – 85 / hour (depending on role and experience)
We are at an early alpha stage. We provide test access to the project and documentation. There is a possibility of equity / token allocation for strong candidates who stay with the project long-term.

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
