Rust Engineer

About the Role

The Rust Engineer will join a high-performance engineering team to build low-latency trading systems and infrastructure for digital asset markets. This role requires strong expertise in Rust and experience in performance-critical systems, focusing on optimizing latency, throughput, and reliability.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop high-performance, low-latency systems in Rust.
• Build market data ingestion, exchange connectivity, order execution, and trading infrastructure.
• Optimise systems for latency, throughput, reliability, and scalability.
• Work closely with quantitative researchers and traders to translate strategies into production systems.
• Profile and optimise critical code paths, including memory allocation, concurrency, networking, and CPU utilisation.
• Develop tools and frameworks for simulation, backtesting, monitoring, and performance analysis.
• Contribute to system architecture and technical decisions across the trading stack.

Who You Are

• Strong professional experience with Rust.
• Candidates must come from a traditional HFT / electronic trading firm.
• Strong understanding of systems programming, concurrency, networking, and performance optimisation.
• Experience building low-latency or high-throughput systems.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, memory management, and computer architecture.
• Strong experience working with Linux.

Bonus Points

• Experience with C++ or other systems programming languages is a plus.
• Experience with financial markets, electronic trading, or exchange connectivity is highly advantageous.
• Experience with crypto/digital asset markets, market making, or quantitative trading is a plus.
