Senior Software Engineer (Quant Infra, Golang)
reference-number: 21079
posted: 21/04/2026
form-of-employment: Permanent
rate: Negotiable
industry: Technology
Overview
Join a high-impact engineering team building real-time trading systems and market infrastructure. This role focuses on designing and developing high-performance backend services that power automated trading strategies across both centralized and decentralized markets.
You will work closely with engineers and quantitative stakeholders to deliver low-latency systems, integrate with trading venues, and optimize execution performance in fast-moving environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop backend systems supporting automated trading and market execution strategies
- Build and optimize low-latency services for real-time data processing and transaction execution
- Integrate with external trading platforms (centralized and decentralized exchanges) via APIs and streaming data (e.g., WebSocket)
- Develop systems to monitor pricing, detect opportunities, and execute trades efficiently
- Implement logic to improve execution quality (e.g., latency optimization, cost/slippage control)
- Build internal tools for monitoring system performance, transactions, and key metrics
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to test, deploy, and improve trading-related systems
Technical Environment
- Languages: Golang (primary), Rust (nice to have)
- Systems: Distributed backend services, real-time data processing
- Data & Messaging: WebSocket, streaming pipelines, async processing
- Platforms: Blockchain networks such as Ethereum and Solana
- Integrations: APIs from trading platforms such as Binance, OKX
Requirements
Core Requirements
- 4+ years of backend development experience with strong proficiency in Golang
- Experience building performance-sensitive or real-time systems
- Familiarity with API integrations and handling streaming/real-time data
- Solid understanding of system design, concurrency, and distributed systems
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with trading systems, financial platforms, or high-throughput applications
- Exposure to blockchain/Web3 ecosystems (e.g., Ethereum, Solana)
- Understanding of decentralized systems, liquidity mechanisms, or market behaviors
- Experience with Rust or asynchronous programming models
- Interest in performance optimization, latency reduction, and scalable system design
What Makes This Role Interesting
- Opportunity to work on real-time, high-impact systems with measurable outcomes
- Exposure to both traditional and emerging market infrastructures
- Ownership across the full lifecycle: design → build → optimize → deploy
- Small team environment with high autonomy and technical depth
