Rust Engineer - Trading Systems

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Rust Engineer with deep trading systems experience and strong AWS knowledge to join our core Capital Markets division. Candidates with a passion for the Rust ecosystem and a proven track record designing, building, and operating mission‑critical trading systems will be at a significant advantage.

Key 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, automate operational tasks, and evolve the team’s tooling.

Required profile

• Production‑grade Rust experience building high‑performance, concurrent systems; proficiency with Tokio is a strong advantage.
• Hands‑on experience in a systematic trading environment (HFT, market making, quantitative trading) with solid 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, packet and latency path analysis, dedicated network infrastructure, and kernel‑bypass techniques (DPDK).
