Backend Developer (Rust)

Overview

Job Description

Responsibilities

• - Design, implement, and maintain backend services for high-performance trading systems and market infrastructure.
• - Build messaging and streaming systems powering real-time data flows and order execution (e.g., Redis Streams, Kafka, or similar).
• - Develop robust event-driven systems to support concurrency at scale and consistent execution semantics under heavy load.
• - Optimize database schemas and access patterns for extremely high concurrency and low-latency performance.
• - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure scalable and fault-tolerant backend architecture.
• - Monitor, profile, and tune services to meet performance SLAs in production.
• - Contribute to architectural discussions and drive improvements in system reliability, observability, and scalability.

Required Skills

• - 5+ years of professional experience building backend systems with a strong focus on performance and reliability.
• - Proficiency in Rust (or equivalent systems programming) for backend service development.
• - Practical experience with messaging / streaming systems such as Redis Streams, Kafka, or similar.
• - Deep understanding of databases under high concurrency and techniques to mitigate contention, scale reads/writes, and ensure consistency.
• - Experience with event-driven architectures and building asynchronous, distributed systems.
• - Comfortable building and scaling systems that handle 1,000+ executions/sec today with design foresight for 10×–100× future growth.

Benefits

• - Build and scale core infrastructure for the next frontier of decentralized trading.
• - Work with a global team of experts in high-performance systems and financial infrastructure.
• - Competitive compensation and full remote flexibility.
• - Impactful work — contributions go directly into protocol and platform performance.
