Software Engineer; C, C++, or Rust

We are hiring high-caliber engineers with 3+ years of experience to build low-latency, high-throughput trading infrastructure in Rust, working directly under senior systems architects. This is a hands‑on coding role on performance‑critical systems — you will write, test, and ship the core code.

• Develop and maintain high‑performance backend services in Rust under the guidance of senior engineers
• Implement components of distributed, fault‑tolerant systems handling high transaction volumes
• Write extensive unit, property‑based, and simulation tests for correctness‑critical code; profile and optimize code for latency, throughput, and memory efficiency; participate in design discussions and rigorous code reviews
• Debug and resolve issues in Linux‑based production environments

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science from an IIT or NIT (mandatory)
  • 3+ years professional experience in Rust, C++, or Java/Go with systems‑level work; strong Rust proficiency or demonstrated ability to attain it fast
  • Understanding of financial markets and trading systems – order books, order types, matching concepts, spot and derivatives (futures/options) basics; hands‑on experience with trading, broking, or market data systems is a strong plus
  • Excellent computer science fundamentals – data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, concurrency
• Solid grasp of multithreading and memory management; exposure to performance profiling and benchmarking
• Understanding of distributed systems concepts – replication, consistency, message queues (Kafka/NATS or similar)
• Experience with Linux, Git, and modern development workflows
• Strong problem‑solving ability and hunger to work on hard systems problems

• Competitive programming background (Code forces/ICPC/Code Chef ratings welcome on the CV)
• Personal or open‑source Rust projects
• Exposure to low‑latency techniques – lock‑free structures, zero‑allocation design, binary protocols (SBE/Protobuf/Flat Buffers)
• NISM certifications, trading experience (personal F&O/options trading counts), or coursework in financial engineering
• Exposure to consensus algorithms (Raft), event sourcing, or deterministic testing

You will be mentored directly by senior systems engineers with deep exchange‑infrastructure experience, with a defined progression to senior engineer ownership of subsystems within 18–24 months. This team is being built as a center of excellence in low‑latency systems engineering in India.

• Resume shortlisting (college + evidence of strong engineering: projects, CP ratings, internships)
• Online DSA + systems assessment
• Live coding round (Rust/C++, performance‑oriented problem)
• Systems and trading‑concepts discussion round
• Culture and ownership round with the senior engineer you will report to
