דרושים HFT Systems Engineer (Rust/C++) בכל הארץ

TechShack have partnered with a high-performing quantitative trading firm who are scaling a new HFT desk. They operate globally across major liquidity venues, with teams across Europe, Asia and North America and are hiring a HFT Systems Engineer (Rust/C++) to help push their latency and throughput to the next level.

What you’ll work on:

• You’ll join a senior team owning the core of the trading stack, designing and optimising performance-critical trading systems: execution engines, market data handlers, matching logic and order routing.
• Driving low-latency networking: kernel tuning, CPU/NIC optimisation, lock-free / wait-free designs, and careful memory management.
• Writing high-performance Rust or C++ in production, with a focus on determinism, profiling and micro-optimisation where it matters.
• Collaborating directly with traders, quants and crypto engineers to translate trading ideas into robust, scalable infrastructure.
• Analysing live performance data to squeeze out microseconds, remove bottlenecks, and improve stability under high load.

Core requirements:

• 4+ years’ systems engineering experience.
• Proven HFT / low-latency trading background (prop shop, market maker, tier-one hedge fund or similar).
• Strong hands-on in Rust or C++ (Go also considered) in genuinely performance-critical environments.

Deep understanding of:

• OS internals and how they impact latency.
• Network stack behaviour (TCP/UDP, multicast, kernel bypass a plus).
• Concurrency and event-driven systems (epoll/kqueue, async I/O, lock-free patterns).
• Latency & throughput constraints in real trading systems.
• Experience with live trading infrastructure – market data, execution, risk, or routing systems.

Bonus requirements:

• Crypto trading system experience (CEX or DEX) or other 24/7 venues.
• Commercial Rust experience in trading or high-performance infra.
• Knowledge of exchange protocols (FIX, binary feeds, multiplexed WebSockets).
• History of building or optimising high-volume execution or low-latency routing to CEX/DEX venues.

Why this team?

• Structured like a trading desk, not a generic software department.
• Convex compensation: outsized bonus potential tied to desk performance.
• Direct, daily exposure to traders and quants, and a meaningful say in how the trading stack evolves.
• Environment suited to engineers who care about speed, elegance and impact.

Interviews are commencing from 15th December, so if this sounds close to your profile, share your CV and we can talk specifics.
