    Requirements

    • •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, or similar), with solid understanding of execution, market data, and operational risk

    • •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)

    • •Contribute to functional, component, and production-readiness testing for critical trading components

    Nice to Have

    • •Familiarity with agentic engineering tools and concepts: LLMs, MCP APIs, AI-First IDEs (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code), harness engineering, and workflow automation
