Rust Software Engineer (HFT, Low-latency, Perps, Remote)

Job Description
We are looking for Rust Engineers who have a strong interest in systems engineering, low-level architecture, high-performance services, and distributed systems. You will participate in the design and development of core infrastructure, trading systems, blockchain components, or high-performance backend services.
We expect you to not only write code but also possess a solid foundation in computer science, with a deep understanding of system behavior, performance bottlenecks, network protocols, concurrency models, and engineering quality.
⸻

Responsibilities

• Develop high-performance, highly reliable backend services and infrastructure components using Rust.
• Design architectures for distributed systems, network services, middleware, or trading systems.
• Optimize system performance, latency, memory utilization, and overall stability.
• Implement core modules featuring concurrent, asynchronous, and message-driven architectures.
• Write high-quality, maintainable, and testable production code.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform system tuning, and build disaster recovery mechanisms. ⸻

Requirements
Hard Requirements

• Proficiency in the Rust language with hands-on project development experience.
• Solid computer science foundation, including but not limited to:
  • Operating Systems
  • Computer Networks
  • Data Structures & Algorithms
  • Concurrency / Parallelism
  • Databases & Storage
  • Distributed Systems Fundamentals
  • Cryptography Fundamentals
• Familiarity with Linux development environments.
• Strong engineering capabilities and a high awareness of code quality.
• Keen interest in performance optimization, system design, and low-level principles.
• Excellent problem-analysis and problem-solving skills.

Plus Factors (Preferred Qualifications)
Experience in any of the following directions is a plus:

• Blockchain / Web3 / ZK / Consensus Protocols development experience.
• CEX / DEX / Matching Engines / Orderbook / High-Frequency Trading (HFT) systems development experience.
