Job Summary

Flowdesks mission is to build a global financial institution for digital assets one designed from the ground up for market integrity and efficiency.

To achieve this in a rapidly evolving market we apply a disciplined first-principles approach to everything we do. This approach is embedded in our core services from institutional liquidity provision trading solutions OTC execution to our comprehensive treasury management offerings. This is how we cut through the noise and build robust and scalable systems across all our business lines.

We seek individuals who are driven by this systematic approach. Joining Flowdesk means you will be a key contributor in building and scaling a more transparent and efficient financial markets infrastructure.

At Flowdesk our client platform is the front door to everything we do. Its how institutional clients access trading settlement and reporting with confidence. Were looking for a senior backend engineer who can own this platform end-to-end from the API layer to the workflows our clients depend on every day.

This is a hands-on role. Youll design and build backend services in Rust and youll set the direction for a small team of backend and fullstack engineers. Together youll deliver a product that is fast reliable and safe for clients. Security and correctness arent add-ons here - theyre the foundation of our business.

What youll do

Take technical ownership of the client-facing platform - design delivery and continuous improvement.
Lead and mentor a small team keeping the bar high on code quality and secure engineering practices.
Work directly with product managers and frontend engineers to turn client needs into seamless end-to-end workflows.
Build and evolve APIs in Rust with security and clarity at their core.
Ensure everything shipped follows best practices (OWASP Top 10 SQL safety authentication/permissions).
Keep close to the product - think about features not just as code but as tools our clients use to trade with confidence.

Requirements

What were looking for

5 years of backend engineering with significant time in crypto fintech or trading environments.
Production experience in Rust is required.
Proven track record building secure client-facing APIs.
Strong knowledge of SQL and event-driven systems.
A product mindset - you care about the why not just the how.
Experience mentoring or leading engineers in small teams.
A pragmatic commitment to shipping high quality systems

Nice to have

Familiarity with trading workflows (orders balances settlements).
Contributions to Rust or security-related open source projects.
Understanding of regulatory/compliance in financial platforms.
