Up to SGD $1,000,000+. Rust and C++ in production. No legacy tech debt. No compromise on latency. Singapore.
We are mandated by a proprietary trading firm operating at the intersection of high-frequency trading, market making and decentralised finance to find a senior Trading Systems Engineer for their Singapore office.
This is not a bank. Not a legacy institution. The codebase is modern, the team is small and elite, and your engineering decisions have real and immediate market impact.
The role:
- Design and build low-latency, high-throughput trading systems supporting a broad range of HFT and algorithmic strategies.
- Build and maintain connectivity with exchanges, on-chain protocols and traditional market venues globally.
- Work directly with traders and quants to translate ideas into production-grade systems at speed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they are looking for:
- 5+ years building and maintaining low-latency systems for algorithmic or high-frequency trading.
- Expert-level Rust or C++ — non-negotiable.
- Hands-on experience with exchange APIs, OMS, pricing engines and smart order routers.
- Strong systems-level instincts: performance profiling, monitoring and debugging under pressure.
- Self-starter, collaborative, comfortable in a fast-moving prop environment.
- Crypto or DeFi experience is a plus — but strong HFT engineers from traditional finance are actively encouraged to apply.
