Quantitative Software Engineer (Low Latency / Rust)

Location

Gurugram, India (on-site)

Description

Quantitative Software Engineers

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of systems engineering, probabilistic thinking, and live market dynamics. You’ll build and optimize code that processes market data, reacts in microseconds, and drives real capital decisions — all while working closely with traders and researchers.

The Mission

• Architect and optimize low-latency trading systems for global crypto exchanges (especially Binance).
• Write performant, robust, and maintainable code — ideally in

  Rust

  , or with a strong willingness to learn it quickly.
• Build systems that operate reliably under high throughput, low-latency conditions.
• Collaborate with traders and quants to translate strategy into executable logic and infrastructure.
• Use statistics, telemetry, and intuition to profile, debug, and improve performance.
• Apply logical thinking and curiosity to uncover hard-to-see system bottlenecks or design flaws.
• Compete — intellectually and technologically — against some of the fastest systems in the world.

The Skills and Qualifications

• Strong programming ability — ideally in

  Rust

  , or excited to learn it quickly. C++ or low-level systems experience also valued.
• Deep understanding of Linux internals, networking, and performance profiling.
• Experience with

  crypto exchange APIs

  (especially

  Binance

  ) and real-time data processing.
• Strong problem-solving ability; enjoys puzzles, games, or optimizing things for fun.
• Background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a similar technical field.
• Thinks

  logically

  ,

  clearly

  , and

  probabilistically

  — uses data, stats, and reasoning to drive technical decisions.
• Bonus: Experience with kernel bypass (e.g., DPDK), high-throughput messaging, or hardware-aware optimizations.
• Bonus: Familiarity with market microstructure or trading systems.

The Compensation

• For strong grads

  : $40,000 – 50,000 USD per year

• For experienced hires

  : Compensation will depend on prior experience and demonstrated performance
• Discretionary bonus and performance-linked upside available
• A fast-moving,

  meritocratic environment

  where engineers ship directly to production and see impact quickly
