Job Description

Senior Rust Backend Engineer

Startale Group

• Own the architecture and technical direction of high-performance trading APIs (HTTP & WebSocket) supporting low-latency order entry, market data distribution, and account state updates. • Lead the design and implementation of structured concurrency using the Tokio runtime, defining best practices for task lifecycle management, cancellation semantics, backpressure, and graceful degradation under load. • Develop and maintain real-time state ingestion pipelines: Process append-only logs (e.g., trades, order updates, book diffs) and rebuild local states efficiently using snapshot + diff application. • Model trading-related data structures, including orders, fills, trades, positions, funding, and liquidation logic. • Implement WebSocket connection logic, including upgrade handling, frame parsing, and data fanout for subscribed clients. • Design observable backend systems with rich metrics, structured logging, and distributed tracing for performance insights and failure analysis. • Collaborate with system and infrastructure engineers to continuously improve performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. • Write comprehensive unit, integration, and load tests to ensure stability under production conditions.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with 3+ years of Rust in production.
  • Strong experience with the Tokio async runtime and concurrent programming patterns.
  • Deep understanding of structured concurrency and robust handling of spawned task cancellation.
  • Hands-on experience with HTTP and WebSocket frameworks such as Hyper or similar.
  • Solid understanding of CEX/DEX systems and trading models.
  • Familiarity with data modeling for trading entities (orders, trades, positions, funding, mark price, margin, liquidation logic, etc.).
  • Prior hands-on trading or market data experience (personal or professional).
  • Expertise in real-time data streaming and processing systems.
  • Ability to design systems that rebuild local state efficiently from snapshots and diffs.
  • Familiarity with replay, recovery, and correctness guarantees in event-driven systems.
  • Understanding of connection upgrades, frame parsing, and data fanout for subscribed clients.
  • Ability to design and instrument systems for metrics, logging, and tracing.
  • Experience with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry in production.
  • Track record of diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks and production incidents.
  • Deep understanding of lock-free or lock-avoidant data structures.
  • Experience designing cache-friendly data layouts and optimizing for memory locality in latency-sensitive systems.
  • Proficiency in profiling CPU and memory performance and able to diagnose and optimize latencies in real-time event pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Docker-based environments and CI/CD pipelines.

Benefits

  • Work on cutting-edge trading infrastructure bridging traditional and decentralized finance.
  • Collaborate with a world-class, distributed engineering team.
  • Influence critical technical decisions from the early stages.
  • Competitive compensation and growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving space.
