- Develop and maintain trading systems for DeFi protocols and exchanges using C++20 and Rust.
- Research, validate, and implement trading hypotheses.
- Optimize system performance and low-latency execution.
- Analyze metrics, identify bottlenecks, and improve trading-system efficiency.
- Explore new DeFi opportunities and integrate protocols and exchanges.
- Conduct code reviews and maintain high code quality.
Requirements:
- Excellent knowledge of C++20 and hands-on experience with Rust.
- Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and multithreaded programming.
- Solid knowledge of computer networking and low-latency system design.
- Ability to independently research complex systems and deliver production-ready solutions.
- Strong mathematical background and analytical thinking.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in DeFi, HFT, or algorithmic trading.
- Understanding of DEXs, AMMs, RFQs, intents, MEV, and the specifics of on-chain execution, including gas costs, slippage, and latency.
- Experience developing trading strategies or integrating blockchain protocols.
Current Focus Areas:
- RFQs and intents.
- CEX–DEX and DEX–DEX arbitrage.
