Rust Engineer – Trading Systems

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Belgium.

📋 Description

• Design, develop, and enhance low-latency, mission-critical trading systems.

• Take ownership of key components of the trading stack from architecture to production operation.

• Work closely with quants, traders, and engineers to deliver solutions enhancing trading performance and resilience.

• Maintain and enhance the trading infrastructure, focusing on performance, stability, observability, and operational excellence.

• Resolve complex production issues related to exchange connectivity, execution, and market data management.

• Promote engineering standards through technical leadership, code reviews, and mentoring.

• Adopt agentic engineering principles: utilize AI-assisted workflows, promote the automation of operational tasks, and help advance the team's agentic tooling.

• Participate in functional, component, and production-readiness testing for essential trading components.
