Job Description

The Role
We are looking for a Trading System Engineer to join our team and play a key role in building and scaling the core infrastructure that powers our high-frequency trading (HFT).

This position is ideal for engineers who thrive in low-latency environments, enjoy working at the intersection of software and finance, and are excited about contributing to the fast-evolving world of digital assets. You'll work closely with traders, quants, and fellow engineers to design and implement high-performance systems that execute seamlessly across on-chain and traditional financial markets.

Job Responsibilities

  • Design and develop low-latency, high-throughput trading systems to support a wide range of algorithmic trading strategies.
  • Build and maintain robust connectivity with exchanges and protocols, ensuring reliable transaction processing and seamless market access.
  • Develop core system components to handle trade execution, order management, and real-time market data efficiently.
  • Optimize system performance through profiling, tuning, and architectural improvements to achieve ultra-fast execution and high reliability.
  • Collaborate closely with quantitative traders to translate trading ideas into scalable, production-grade systems.
  • Contribute to the design of flexible system architectures to support growing trading volumes and evolving market opportunities.
  • Ensure operational stability and uptime in a fast-paced, latency-sensitive trading environment.

Job Requirements

  • Strong understanding of traditional finance, architecture, and trading systems.
  • 5+ Years of experience in building and maintaining low-latency systems for algorithmic trading.
  • Proficiency in low-level programming using languages like Rust or C++.
  • Experience integrating with exchange / broker APIs, order management systems, pricing and risk engines, and smart order routers.
  • Skilled in system-level performance tuning, monitoring, and debugging.
  • Self- starter with a proactive mindset. Strong problem-solving ability and comfort with operating in rapidly evolving and high-velocity environments.
  • The ability to work in a collaborative and non-siloed engineering team, with the intent for cross-team delivery and success.
