The Opportunity

We're building a cutting-edge high-frequency trading platform in Rust, and we're looking for exceptional Quant Developers to join the team.

This is a chance to work on the systems that drive modern markets: ultra-low latency trading algorithms, Front Office risk and execution systems, and integrations with leading DeFi venues. If you thrive in high-performance environments, want to solve some of the hardest technical challenges in trading, and prefer a collaborative culture to the usual hedge fund politics, this is the seat you've been waiting for.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement low-latency, high-frequency trading algorithms in Rust
• Build and optimise trading system components - from order book handling to execution pipelines
• Integrate Real Time market data feeds from DeFi protocols and exchanges
• Develop robust backtesting frameworks to validate models and strategies
• Collaborate with a world-class team of developers and quants to push the limits of performance and scale

What We're Looking For

2+ years' experience building trading systems (HFT/systematic trading)

Strong Rust skills (C++ accepted if you've shipped commercial Rust projects too)

Deep knowledge of order books, order state machines, and low-latency architecture

Background in crypto or traditional electronic markets

Sharp maths and analytical ability, combined with curiosity and drive

Why Join us?

• Impact: You'll be hands-on in building a new HFT platform from the ground up
• Reward: £120k - £200k base + 100% guaranteed bonus (total comp capped at £500k)
• Culture: High-performance without the ego - collaborative, ambitious, and flexible
• Global team: Work remote-first, with hubs in London, Paris, and Singapore

The Process

1. Intro call with Head of Talent
2. Technical test (Rust/trading systems)
3. 90-minute deep dive with Head of HFT + developer
4. Final chat with CEO (offer stage)
