Job summary

Motion Recruitment Partners LLC has partnered with a fast-growing market-data company to hire a Senior Software Engineer for a fully remote, full-time position. The stack includes Rust and Java with Python, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, RedPanda, and gRPC, tackling billions of low-latency requests daily.

You will own critical components, design greenfield systems, and work directly with senior technical leadership to optimize latency, throughput, and overall system architecture in financial markets.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience building high-throughput, low-latency, concurrent systems in Rust.
• Obsessed with shaving latency and maximizing throughput—tail latency (p99/p999), not just averages.
• Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and systems-level thinking.
• Deep familiarity with Rust ownership model, borrow checker, and zero-cost abstractions in performance-critical contexts.
• Experience with low-level network programming (raw sockets/TCP, custom protocol design).
• Experience designing or consuming gRPC/Protobuf-based APIs.
• Experience profiling and optimizing Rust under heavy load.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale backend services handling billions of requests daily with tight, predictable latency.
• Build and optimize the pipelines that ingest, cache, persist, and stream billions of market ticks per day at maximum sustained throughput.
• Architect new systems and contribute to technical direction, with performance and latency as first-class design constraints, not afterthoughts.
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across the stack, from network I/O to memory layout to query execution.
• Collaborate directly with the team and senior technical leadership.
