Senior Low Latency Rust Engineer Electronic Trading
London | Hybrid max 3 days per week in office
We are assisting with the hire of an experienced low-latency engineer to join a specialist team building frameworks, libraries and performance tooling used across a large global electronic trading environment.
This is not a traditional BAU development role attached to one desk or application.
The team works across multiple trading platforms, solving complex performance problems and helping define how latency-sensitive systems should be engineered.
Approximately 90% of the role is hands-on coding, with a major focus on Rust alongside modern Java.
