Systems Engineer

Discussion

You will design and implement performance-critical components for a decentralized exchange engine and protocol runtime using Rust C++ or Go. You will build low-latency pipelines for order execution event propagation and state updates while optimizing concurrency scheduling memory layout and I/O paths. You will investigate bottlenecks through profiling tracing and benchmarking and help establish standards for reliable correct and high-assurance distributed execution. Depending on your experience you may also influence system architecture and mentor other engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement high-performance components in Rust C++ or Go
  • Build low-latency pipelines for order execution event propagation and state updates
  • Optimize concurrency scheduling memory layout and I/O paths
  • Contribute to execution abstractions that may become protocol primitives
  • Ensure safety composability and consensus compatibility
  • Investigate performance bottlenecks using profiling tracing and benchmarking
  • Define standards for reliability correctness and high-assurance distributed execution
  • Drive system design decisions and mentor engineers as a senior or principal candidate

Requirements

  • Strong experience with Rust C++ Go or another systems programming language
  • Understanding of high-performance or distributed systems
  • Ability to reason about execution flows concurrency models resource lifecycles and system invariants
  • Practical experience profiling CPU memory and synchronization overhead
  • Comfort working with critical performance determinism and resilience constraints
  • Excellent spoken and written Business English

Benefits

  • Remote work
