Job Description
[AI-summarized by JobStash]
You will design and implement latency-critical components of the runtime and order book engine, and optimize network pipelines, serialization, and state access for deterministic sub-millisecond performance. You will contribute protocol primitives for timestamped execution and atomic batch auctions and collaborate with researchers on incentive design and cross-domain settlement models. You will profile and tune concurrency and networking subsystems to push systems toward ultra-low-latency determinism.
Requirements
- āExperience building or optimizing HFT systems, exchange matching engines, or low-latency trading infrastructure
- āStrong systems programming background in Rust, C++, or Go
- āDeep understanding of concurrency, networking, and performance profiling
- āExperience with blockchains, consensus, or distributed systems (bonus)
Responsibilities
- āDesign and implement latency-critical components of the L1 and order book engine
- āOptimize network pipelines, serialization, and state access for deterministic performance
- āContribute protocol primitives for timestamped execution and atomic batch auctions
- āCollaborate with researchers on incentive design and cross-domain settlement models
Benefits & Perks
- āTravel opportunities
- āThought leadership visibility in the crypto community
