Backend Systems Engineer, Rust (Crypto Trading Platform)

Our client runs a crypto-markets trading platform that operates in real time and is growing its in-person engineering team. The role centers on the backend systems that keep trades, settlement and risk checks fast and correct.

What you’ll build

• Liquidation and risk-management engines that limit exposure and make better use of capital when markets swing
• Blockchain state machines supporting trading flows, settlement and risk handling
• Services that keep state consistent across asynchronous processes through voting, consensus and other coordination protocols
• Pipelines that consume real-time market feeds and orchestrate actions across several trading venues over WebSocket streams
• Quick, reliable WebSocket and REST APIs behind the trading front end, with latency measured in milliseconds

What you bring

• Two to four years as a backend engineer, with production Rust in your background
• Solid grasp of asynchronous programming, for example with Tokio, plus systems-level knowledge
• Experience with real-time, high-throughput services beyond simple data pipelines
• Working knowledge of relational, time-series and key-value databases
• Startup experience and a real interest in trading or financial markets
• Personal projects in Rust or C that you can show
