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.
