- Design and build high-performance trading infrastructure in Rust.
- Integrate with centralized and decentralized exchange APIs.
- Build reliable, low-latency systems for real-time trading.
- Optimize performance across critical execution paths.
- Work closely with the founding team on architecture and technical direction.
- Help shape the engineering culture as the company scales.
- What They're Looking For
- Expert-level Rust experience.
- Experience building low-latency, high-performance, or trading systems.
- Experience integrating with financial exchange APIs.
- Strong systems programming background.
- Ability to thrive in a small, fast-moving engineering team.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
