About this role

Be part of the team building high‑throughput, low‑latency financial systems where correctness, reliability, and observability are non‑negotiable. You’ll work on core services that process time-sensitive financial data and execute critical workflows under strict performance and risk constraints.

  • Design and build latency‑sensitive Rust services handling high‑frequency data and decisioning.
  • Implement robust, testable financial logic with strict correctness guarantees.
  • Build and maintain streaming pipelines (real‑time inputs, event processing, and feedback loops).
  • Optimize performance across CPU, memory, and network with profiling and benchmarking.
  • Collaborate on API design, data models, and system architecture.
  • A university degree in a relevant field of study (e.g. computer science, engineering, sciences, ...) or a comparable qualification.
  • Extensive experience in our tech stack: Rust, Docker, AWS, Terraform
  • Strong Rust proficiency (ownership, lifetimes, concurrency, async, error handling).
  • Excellent systems thinking: latency, throughput, backpressure, and failure modes.
  • Experience building high‑performance services in production.
  • Experience with low‑latency systems.
  • Strong analytical thinking, both in the technical and in the product domain.
  • Excellent communication skills that are clear, concise, and targeted towards your audience - engineering, product, or other stakeholders.
  • A passion for well architected, testable and documented code.
  • Experience using coding agents (e.g., Codex or similar AI-assisted development tools) is a plus.
  • Experience with domain-driven design and distributed architectures and/or microservices is a plus.
  • Background in financial services and exposure to compliance or audit requirements in financial systems is a strong plus.
