Job Opportunity
Top global trading firm looking for a DeFi developer to join a small, highly technical trading team building high-performance systems that operate directly on decentralized markets.
The role is hands-on and focused on building production systems in Rust and Python, covering execution, on-chain integrations, and performance-critical components where latency and reliability are key. There is strong end-to-end ownership and clear visibility across the full trading stack.
They are looking for someone with a solid software engineering background and several years of experience (typically around 3–7). Experience with trading systems or DeFi is beneficial but not required.
