Staff Rust Engineer – Low Latency Systems (FinTech Infrastructure) ๐ฆ
Location: New York, NY • Los Angeles, CA • Austin, TX
Employment Type: Full-time, In-office
About the Role:
My Client is hiring a Senior Rust Engineer to build high-performance infrastructure that powers the testing and validation of complex, mission-critical systems.
This role will particularly resonate with engineers from fintech, trading infrastructure, and financial data systems who are used to operating in environments where latency, determinism, and system correctness are critical.
The platform processes high-rate telemetry and real-time data streams, enabling engineering teams to analyze, validate, and operate complex systems with the same rigor used in high-performance financial infrastructure.
Engineers in this role will work deeply in Rust, building systems where performance, concurrency, and reliability are core requirements.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build high-performance backend systems in Rust
- Develop infrastructure for real-time telemetry ingestion and data processing
- Architect distributed systems that handle large volumes of streaming data
- Optimize systems for low latency, high throughput, and reliability
- Build tooling for analyzing and replaying complex time-series data
- Work closely with systems, infrastructure, and product teams to deliver production-grade software
What we're Looking For
- Strong experience building high-performance backend systems
- Professional experience with Rust
- Experience working on latency-sensitive systems such as:
- Trading infrastructure
- Market data pipelines
- Financial analytics platforms
- Risk or pricing systems
- Deep understanding of concurrency, memory efficiency, and systems performance
- Experience debugging complex distributed systems
Nice to Have
- Experience with real-time streaming or telemetry systems
- Familiarity with columnar or analytical data systems
- Background in distributed systems or infrastructure platforms
- Experience with time-series data pipelines
- Open-source Rust contributions
