? Senior Developer – High-Frequency Trading (Remote) | Build the Future of Finance

Are you a seasoned engineer with a passion for performance, precision, and pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible? My client—an elite, founder-led crypto-tech outfit—is seeking a Senior Developer (HFT) to drive the evolution of their proprietary trading platform.

Backed by a single-family office with capital capabilities akin to a hedge fund, this is a rare chance to work in a startup environment with the stability and resources of a well-funded operation. You'll work on complex systems coded in Rust, built in-house from the ground up, operating entirely in the cloud and optimised for ultra-low latency and speed.

? What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing, developing, and delivering high-performance systems for HFT and market-making
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to shape products and infrastructure
• Coding in Rust or C++, debugging, and leading on architectural decisions
• Mentoring junior engineers and conducting code reviews
• Ensuring systems meet strict standards for speed, quality, and resilience
• Continuously identifying performance bottlenecks and optimising code
• Staying current with tech trends and shaping internal best practices

? What You Bring:

• 5+ years’ software engineering experience in demanding environments
• Deep knowledge of high-frequency trading systems and crypto markets
• Expert proficiency in Rust or C++
• Solid system design and architecture skills
• Startup experience (3+ years in teams under 50 people is a must)
• Strong decision-making, analytical, and debugging capabilities
• Experience working under pressure and adjusting to fast-moving conditions
• Emotional intelligence and an eye for mentoring and leadership
• Knowledge of trading strategies, risk management, and market structure

? Tech Environment:

• Rust, C++, Python
• Fully cloud-native infrastructure
• Proprietary technology stack
• Performance-focused, low-latency architecture
• Agile, flat-structured engineering team

? Why This Role?

• Direct access to technical founders and HFT industry leaders
• Work on a next-gen trading platform from the ground up
• No corporate politics, just results and innovation
• Competitive compensation with room for growth
• 100% remote, high-trust environment

If you're ready to engineer trading systems that outperform the market, this is your shot.

Join a team where your ideas matter, your code runs in production, and your work shapes the future of financial technology. Apply now to be part of something extraordinary.

About the Team:

My client fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment, driven by industry experts and successful startup executives. The team thrives on innovation and aims to nearly triple in size by the end of 2024. They offer competitive compensation.

If you're passionate about trading and aspire to work with an elite team pushing the boundaries of technology in the crypto space, my client is the place for you to elevate your career.
