About the Role
About the Role
The role involves designing and building low-latency, high-throughput trading systems for a proprietary trading firm in Singapore. You will work closely with traders and quants to translate ideas into production-grade systems, utilizing Rust and C++ without any legacy tech debt.
What You'll Do
- Design and build low-latency, high-throughput trading systems supporting a broad range of HFT and algorithmic strategies.
- Build and maintain connectivity with exchanges, on-chain protocols, and traditional market venues globally.
- Work directly with traders and quants to translate ideas into production-grade systems at speed.
Who You Are
- 5+ years building and maintaining low-latency systems for algorithmic or high-frequency trading.
- Expert-level Rust or C++ — non-negotiable.
- Hands-on experience with exchange APIs, OMS, pricing engines, and smart order routers.
- Strong systems-level instincts: performance profiling, monitoring, and debugging under pressure.
- Self-starter, collaborative, comfortable in a fast-moving prop environment.
- Crypto or DeFi experience is a plus — but strong HFT engineers from traditional finance are actively encouraged to apply.
Why This Role
- SGD $1M+ total package — one of the strongest engineering offers in APAC right now.
- Rust and C++ in production — no compromise on performance, no legacy baggage.
- Direct exposure to both on-chain and traditional markets simultaneously.
- Small, elite team — your decisions shape the architecture.
- Singapore — Asia's premier hub for systematic and digital asset trading.
Compensation
