Indexed description

A tier-one HFT firm is looking to hire a Rust Systems Engineer to work on performance-critical infrastructure at the core of its trading platform.


This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building systems where latency, throughput and predictable performance are critical. Previous trading experience isn't required; we're particularly interested in engineers from strong systems backgrounds who enjoy working close to the hardware.


What you'll work on

  • Build high-performance systems primarily in Rust
  • Design highly concurrent and multithreaded applications
  • Optimise CPU, memory and I/O performance
  • Work on low-latency networking and high-throughput data paths
  • Profile systems and identify performance bottlenecks
  • Improve reliability and predictable latency across critical infrastructure
  • Work closely with experienced engineers and trading teams on technically challenging problems


What we're looking for

  • Strong professional experience with Rust and C/C++
  • Strong understanding of Linux and systems programming
  • Experience with concurrency, networking and memory management
  • Comfortable reasoning about CPU performance, cache behaviour and hardware/software interaction
  • Strong computer science fundamentals
  • Experience building performance-sensitive production systems
