Software Engineer (London Area)

About the Role

We're partnered with a cutting-edge, high-frequency trading firm that operates across decentralized and traditional markets. They’re looking to add a Software Engineer to their core engineering team to help build high-performance trading infrastructure. You’ll work hands-on across the stack — from systems design and trading logic to execution pipelines and infrastructure tooling — in a fast-moving, high-impact environment.

No prior experience in crypto or DeFi is required — just strong programming skills and a willingness to learn new technologies (Rust/C++ moving forward).

What You’ll Do

• Write production-quality code in Rust and Python (prior Rust experience not required)
• Build performant, reliable systems that interact with on-chain and off-chain infrastructure
• Develop real-time monitoring, strategy tooling, and execution frameworks
• Optimize system performance across latency, reliability, and throughput
• Collaborate closely with a team of elite engineers, quants, and traders
• Progress toward end-to-end ownership of critical infrastructure components

Qualifications

• 1–4 years of professional software development experience
• Strong foundation in computer science — algorithms, data structures, systems, etc.
• Experience with at least one systems or statically typed language (e.g., C++, Java, Go, Rust, C#)
• Clean, efficient coding style and familiarity with production-level systems
• Evidence of technical excellence (top academic background, competitive programming, or experience at selective firms)
• Self-driven, fast learner with clear and direct communication skills

Why Apply?

• Broad Impact : You’ll gain rare exposure across infrastructure, execution, and trading strategy
• Top-Tier Team : Work with world-class engineers and technologists in a flat, collaborative environment
• Fast Iteration : Ship code quickly and see its real-world impact almost immediately
• Learning & Growth : Ideal for ambitious engineers who want to grow fast by solving hard, meaningful problems

This is a fantastic opportunity for a high-caliber engineer ready to take ownership in a high-performance, tech-first environment.
