Job summary

Keyrock in Eindhoven (remote-friendly) seeks a Senior Rust Engineer with trading systems experience and strong AWS knowledge to join our Capital Markets division. You will own high-impact trading infrastructure and drive architectural direction while collaborating with a global, fully remote team.

Design, develop, and optimize low-latency systems, work end-to-end on stack components, and engage with quants, traders, and engineers to improve performance, resilience, and operability.

Qualifications

• Production-grade Rust experience building high-performance, concurrent systems.
• Hands-on experience in a systematic trading environment (HFT, Market Making) with solid understanding of execution, market data, and operational risk.
• Strong AWS and Linux expertise, including cloud infrastructure trade-offs for latency-sensitive workloads, shell scripting, debugging, and production troubleshooting.
• Proficiency in Python for strategy development, automation, and operational tooling.
• Deep familiarity with trading system protocols (FIX, REST, WebSocket), exchange connectivity, and market data feeds.
• Solid grasp of low-latency networking: TCP/UDP, packet and latency path analysis, kernel bypass techniques (DPDK).
• Familiarity with agentic engineering tools and concepts: LLMs, MCP APIs, AI-First IDEs, harness engineering, and workflow automation.
• Ability to make sound architectural decisions, articulate trade-offs clearly, and guide implementation across complex systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimise low-latency, mission‑critical trading systems.
• Own key trading stack components end‑to‑end — from architecture through to production operation.
• Collaborate closely with quants, traders, and engineers to deliver solutions that improve trading performance and resilience.
• Maintain and evolve trading infrastructure with a focus on performance, stability, observability, and operational excellence.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across exchange connectivity, execution, and market data handling.
• Drive engineering standards through technical leadership, code reviews, and mentoring.
• Embrace agentic engineering principles: leverage AI‑assisted workflows, drive automation of operational tasks, and help evolve the team’s agentic tooling.
• Contribute to functional, component, and production‑readiness testing for critical trading components.
