About the Company

The client is building a single front end for crypto trading. Today retail traders are spread across multiple front ends, browser-extension wallets, bridges and a growing list of venues. The client brings perpetuals, cross-chain spot and prediction markets into one portfolio-margin trading experience with a single unified balance, extending USDC collateral to the venues of each user's choice.

What You Will Do

Build and maintain risk and liquidation engines that improve capital efficiency in volatile markets.

Build services that keep state consistent across asynchronous processes using voting, consensus and coordination.
Process live market data and coordinate actions across trading venues over WebSocket streams.
Build high-performance REST and WebSocket APIs with millisecond-level response times.

2-4 years as a backend software engineer
In-depth production experience with Rust
Strong asynchronous programming (Tokio a plus) and distributed systems knowledge
A performance-driven mindset for latency-sensitive, real-time systems
