Senior Low-Latency Engineer
2 days ago
A leading algorithmic and quantitative trading firm is expanding its core engineering team in Hong Kong. The firm builds high-performance trading systems, advanced market connectivity, and latency-sensitive infrastructure used across global markets. We are looking for an exceptional engineer with deep Rust expertise and strong experience working on low-latency or real-time systems—ideally within trading, HFT, quantitative research infrastructure, or mission-critical distributed systems. This is a senior-level role with substantial technical ownership and the opportunity to work closely with world-class technologists and quantitative teams. Responsibilities Design and implement high-performance, low-latency systems in Rust , spanning market data ingestion, order execution, analytics pipelines, and core infrastructure components. Optimise system performance at the hardware, OS, network, and application layers to reduce jitter, latency, and throughput bottlenecks. Build highly reliable, deterministic systems capable of handling real-time market conditions. Work with quants and traders to understand system requirements and integrate models, signals, and execution logic. Improve existing codebases through profiling, benchmarking, and fine-grained tuning. Develop tools for monitoring, debugging, and analysing performance at nanosecond to microsecond levels. Collaborate in architectural discussions and contribute to long-term scaling strategies. Maintain strong engineering practices including testing, documentation, CI/CD, and code reviews. Explore emerging technologies, system-level optimisations, and new approaches to ultra-fast computation. Requirements 5+ years of experience in systems programming or backend engineering, with a significant portion dedicated to Rust in production. Proven background building low-latency , high-throughput, or real-time systems (trading, HFT, quant research platforms, distributed systems, embedded systems, etc.). Expertise in performance optimisation: memory management, lock-free algorithms, concurrency models, CPU caching, and profiling tools. Familiarity with networking protocols, market data feeds, or event-driven architectures is a strong plus. Experience working in environments where determinism, reliability, and precision are critical. Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; able to deal with complex technical challenges independently. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with quantitative and trading stakeholders. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field. Visa sponsorship available for strong candidates. Nice to Have Experience with C/C++ in performance-critical applications. Exposure to quantitative systems, model integration, backtesting engines, or execution algorithms. Understanding of global market microstructure and electronic trading workflows. Knowledge of Linux kernel tuning, network stack optimisation, or FPGA-adjacent workflows. Why Join Build ultra-fast, mission-critical systems used in global trading. High-impact engineering role with direct influence on technical architecture. Work with top-tier engineers, quants, and researchers in a high-performance environment. Competitive compensation, strong engineering culture, and regional mobility opportunities. Visa sponsorship and relocation support for exceptional talent. #J-18808-Ljbffr
