About the role
Be part of the team building high-throughput, low-latency financial systems where correctness, reliability, and observability are non-negotiable. You'll work on core services that process time-sensitive financial data and execute critical workflows under strict performance and risk constraints.
What you'll do
- Design and build latency-sensitive Rust services handling high-frequency data and decisioning.
- Implement robust, testable financial logic with strict correctness guarantees.
- Build and maintain streaming pipelines (real-time inputs, event processing, and feedback loops).
- Optimize performance across CPU, memory, and network with profiling and benchmarking.
- Collaborate on API design, data models, and system architecture.
What you'll need
- A university degree in a relevant field of study (e.g. computer science, engineering, sciences) or a comparable qualification.
- Extensive experience in our tech stack: Rust, Docker, AWS, Terraform.
- Strong Rust proficiency (ownership, lifetimes, concurrency, async, error handling).
- Excellent systems thinking: latency, throughput, backpressure, and failure modes.
- Experience building high-performance services in production.
- Experience with low-latency systems.
- Strong analytical thinking, both in the technical and in the product domain.
- A passion for well architected, testable and documented code.
Nice to have
- Experience using coding agents (e.g., Codex or similar AI-assisted development tools).
- Experience with domain-driven design and distributed architectures and/or microservices.
- Background in financial services and exposure to compliance or audit requirements in financial systems.
