Job summary

Keyrock is seeking a Senior Rust Engineer with deep trading systems experience and strong AWS knowledge to join our Capital Markets division. You will design, build, and operate low-latency trading infrastructure in a fully remote, globally distributed team environment.

You will own core stack components end-to-end, collaborate with quants and traders, and drive performance, reliability, and observability across critical systems.

Qualifications

• Production-grade Rust experience building high-performance, concurrent systems.
• Experience in a systematic trading environment (HFT, Market Making, Quantitative Trading) with 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 or other scripting languages 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, latency-path analysis, dedicated network infrastructure, and kernel bypass techniques (DPDK).
• Familiarity with agentic engineering tools and concepts: LLMs, MCP APIs, AI-First IDEs, harness engineering, and workflow automation.

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
