Rust Engineer (United Kingdom)

Rust Engineer: Crypto HFT – London (ideally) or Europe Remote

I'm currently partnered with a leading high-frequency trading (HFT) firm in the digital assets space that’s going through a major growth phase.

With multiple established offices, they’re now scaling a new Quant Trading function and looking for Junior and Senior engineers to help build the future of digital market-making.

This role is a core part of their mission to deliver the fastest, most reliable trading infrastructure in the space.

What you’ll work on:

• Ultra-low latency trading systems
• Building and maintaining exchange connectivity across global venues
• Systems-level performance optimisation and tuning
• Working closely with Quant Researchers to support live trading

What they’re looking for:

• Strong engineering skills in Rust (or C++ with a genuine interest in Rust)
• Deep understanding of low-level systems and performance-critical environments
• Experience in HFT, trading infrastructure, or latency-sensitive systems
• A collaborative mindset – you’ll be working with both quants and fellow engineers daily

The setup:

• Remote-first within Europe
• London preferred
• Highly competitive compensation with equity upside
