Job description

Rust Developer - Hong Kong - Global Proprietary Trading Firm:

A rare opportunity for a strong Rust Developer to join the Crypto Trading desk of one of the world's largest and most established proprietary trading firms in Hong Kong.

This is an opportunity to apply Rust within a genuinely performance-sensitive trading environment, joining a firm where engineering, quantitative research and trading sit side-by-side and technology has a direct impact on the business.

About:

We are looking for a mid to senior-level Rust Developer to join the firm's Crypto Trading business in Hong Kong. While this is a dedicated crypto opportunity, you would be joining a much broader global trading and technology organisation with deep expertise across electronic trading, quantitative research and high-performance engineering.

The environment should be particularly interesting for engineers who enjoy:

• Building software in Rust within a highly technical, performance-focused environment
• Solving complex engineering problems where latency, reliability and efficiency matter
• Working closely with traders, quantitative researchers and other engineers
• Having meaningful ownership rather than operating within a heavily siloed development team
• Applying technology to fast-moving electronic and digital asset markets
• Working alongside technically strong peers who actively challenge and learn from one another

Who could be suitable?

We are particularly interested in speaking with engineers who have strong commercial Rust development experience and a background building sophisticated, performance-sensitive or distributed systems. Previous experience within crypto, electronic trading, quantitative finance or financial markets would naturally be relevant, but we are also interested in exceptional Rust engineers from outside finance whose technical background could translate well into a trading environment.

Why consider it?

The firm has built a reputation for combining the scale and technical sophistication of a major global trading organisation with a collaborative and relatively non-hierarchical engineering culture. Engineers work closely with the business, are trusted with significant ownership and are encouraged to understand the problems they are solving rather than simply implement specifications.
