Prop Trading Firm is looking for a Quantitative Developer to help design and optimize low-latency crypto execution infrastructure. This person will focus on exchange connectivity, real-time data processing, and strategy integration – ensuring trading systems operate quickly and precisely across CEXs and DEXs. This is a hands‑on, technical role for someone who enjoys writing performant code, understanding order books, and getting strategies live faster.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain low‑latency exchange connectors (REST, WebSocket, FIX) across major crypto venues.
- Develop and optimize market data pipelines, order routing, and execution logic for speed and reliability.
- Collaborate with researchers to productionize market‑neutral and market‑making strategies across venues.
- Profile and tune trading systems for latency, throughput, and stability in live environments.
- Implement real‑time monitoring and performance benchmarking tools.
- Deploy and manage components on AWS and containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes).
- Contribute to core infrastructure that supports signal ingestion, backtesting, and execution simulation.
Qualifications
- 1–3 years’ experience in quantitative development or low‑latency trading, ideally in crypto, HFT, or market‑making.
- Strong programming skills in C++ or Rust, with production‑level Python experience.
- Experience integrating exchange APIs (REST/WebSocket/FIX) and handling real‑time data streams.
- Understanding of market microstructure, order types, and execution dynamics in digital assets.
- Familiarity with Kafka or similar event‑driven systems, and AWS (EC2, S3, CLI).
- Knowledge of asynchronous systems design, network optimization, and multithreaded performance.
- Bonus: Experience with Clickhouse, DEX integration (Web3, RPCs, MEV‑aware routing), or low‑latency Linux tuning.
