Software Engineer Infrastructure & Platform

Who We Are

We are building core financial infrastructure for the fastest-growing crypto derivatives exchange in the world a platform generating over $1B in annualised revenue at 99% net margin operating in a sector worth $2030B annually. Our focus is Multi-Asset Margin enabling traders to post variable forms of collateral without liquidating positions a capability that represents over 86% of all crypto accounts globally. This is not a side project. This is foundational high-stakes infrastructure where performance precision and reliability are everything. If youve built systems where microseconds matter and failure is not an option this is your environment.

The Role

Join our Infrastructure & Platform team and take ownership of the scalable high-performance systems that sit at the heart of our platform. Youll design and operate core components across compute storage and networking working closely with our product team to deliver infrastructure that never blinks.

Where Youll Work

This is a fully on-site role 5 days a week in our NYC office. We are a team that thrives on in-person collaboration and fast-paced hands-on problem solving. We will also consider strong candidates based in San Francisco where we are opening a new office.

What Youll Do

• Write low-level production-grade code in Rust for services that demand speed and reliability in real-time environments
• Deploy and manage compute resources and containers for custom services and integrations
• Automate scaling load balancing and congestion control across compute and database layers
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment rollback and continuous delivery
• Monitor and tune system performance across CPU memory I/O and network for maximum throughput and resiliency
• Build indexing and explorer services to enable live fast and expressive data channels
• Provision and optimize databases across time-series relational key-value and in-memory workloads

What Were Looking For

Must-haves:

• Rust is non-negotiable you are a strong practised low-level developer with Rust at your core
• 3 years building production-grade infrastructure at a reputable established company with real scale
• Hands-on experience managing compute instances (e.g. EC2) and/or container orchestration (e.g. Docker Kubernetes)
• Solid networking fundamentals VPCs load balancers NAT VPN and network security
• Able and willing to work fully on-site 5 days a week in NYC San Francisco considered.
• Authorized to work in the United States

Nice to have:

• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins GitHub Actions) and infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform CloudFormation)
• Familiarity with time-series databases (e.g. TimescaleDB InfluxDB) and key-value stores (e.g. DynamoDB Redis)
• Experience profiling and optimizing low-level system performance under high load

Who Thrives Here

This role is built for engineers who are energised by complexity take pride in systems that perform under pressure and want their work to matter at scale. If you come from a background in high-frequency trading large-scale fintech or performance-critical infrastructure and you want to build something genuinely consequential we want to hear from you.
