Rust Developer — EVM Systems & Trading Infrastructure

About the Role

We’re looking for a strong Backend Rust Engineer with solid knowledge of the EVM ecosystem and a genuine interest in DeFi and trading systems.

You’ll work on backend services that power high-performance on-chain data processing, transaction simulation, trading logic, and core system components for internal products. This role is for an engineer who enjoys deeply understanding systems, optimizing performance, and writing reliable, predictable code.

Responsibilities

• Develop backend services and internal infrastructure
• Build and maintain high-performance services in Rust
• Design modules working with EVM transactions, ABI, calldata, serialization and deserialization
• Implement low-level logic for interacting with nodes and RPC endpoints
• Optimize system performance: concurrency, async execution, memory management

Trading & Data Systems

• Develop components supporting algorithmic trading and decision-making systems
• Build internal APIs and services for fetching, processing, and aggregating on-chain data
• Maintain and optimize data pipelines for traders and analytics
• Work with large data volumes, streams and real-time processing

Requirements

• Strong Rust skills (networking, concurrency, multithreading)
• Solid understanding of EVM internals: transactions, calldata, ABI, gas model, state
• Strong interest in blockchain, DeFi and automated trading systems
• Fundamental understanding of CPU, memory and OS internals

Nice to Have

• Ability to read Solidity code
• Experience with PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or other databases

Why This Role Is Interesting

• Work on core infrastructure used in real trading operations
• Direct impact on architecture and technical decisions
• Strong engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy and fast iteration
• Growth opportunities in systems programming and HFT-style infrastructure
• Competitive compensation aligned with results
• Team of strong engineers and traders with top-tier technical backgrounds
