Strong debugging and problem-solving skills when working with complex software systems. Demonstrable interest in professional audio or live sound technology. Desirable Knowledge of C and/or C++, particularly in relation to firmware or embedded development. Experience with OSC (Open Sound Control) or other messaging/network protocols such as MIDI, TCP/UDP, or IPC mechanisms. Experience with .NET Windows desktop applications. Familiarity with SVN version control. Working Environment Small, collaborative engineering team with a hands-on development culture. Opportunity to work on specialist real-time audio technology used in major live sound environments. Scope to expand technical responsibility over time, including involvement in firmware and deeper system architecture. Equal Opportunity Statement We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds who meet the technical requirements and share our passion for professional audio innovation.

We have a current opportunity for a Rust Engineer on a permanent basis. The position will be based in London. For further information about this position please apply. The Opportunity Most engineers spend their careers a long way from systems that actually matter. ETrading, you will build the infrastructure that sits between our traders and the market - execution paths, data pipelines, and observability tooling that power trillions in annual notional volume. When a system performs at 3am under peak load, you will be one of the reasons why. This is a rare opportunity to apply Rust in a domain where performance directly changes outcomes, and where your engineering decisions carry real commercial weight. Requirements 5-10 years software engineering; 3+ years production Rust - ownership, lifetimes, and async model are instincts, not references Tokio and the broader async Rust ecosystem; concurrent, lock-free, and wait-free data structures in live systems Low-latency system design; hot path optimisation, benchmarking, and hardware-level profiling - cache topology, NUMA effects, allocator behaviour Custom allocator design, unsafe code review, and rigorous reasoning about memory safety at system boundaries High-performance network programming: TCP/UDP, zero-copy I/O, kernel bypass awareness (DPDK, io_uring) Distributed messaging and event streaming: Kafka, NATS, or equivalent; ordering guarantees, exactly-once semantics, consumer group management Production observability: metrics (Prometheus/OpenTelemetry), distributed tracing, structured logging, and alert design CI/CD pipeline design including benchmarking gates, automated performance regression detection, and reproducible builds TDD as a design discipline - property-based testing, integration tests, chaos and fault injection experience Ability to lead architecture design reviews, author ADRs, and elevate Rust engineering standards across a team Cloud infrastructure - Azure preferred, AWS considered; IAM, managed services, automated and auditable deployment pipelines, secrets management Nice to Have Front office trading environment (any asset class) - execution systems, market data infrastructure, or low-latency pricing engines FIX protocol, OMS/EMS connectivity, or direct exchange co-location experience SIMD, vectorisation, or GPU offloading for numerical workloads; eBPF for observability or network instrumentation Open-source Rust contributions, published crates, or ring-buffer/LMAX Disruptor pattern experience What We're Looking For You find the bottleneck before anyone reports it, understand it at the hardware level, and instrument the fix so the next problem surfaces in seconds. You write Rust other engineers learn from and care deeply whether a system is correct - not because a spec says so, but because you know what happens when it isn't.
