Role overview
What You Will Do
- Develop and maintain backend systems using Rust, focusing on Tokio for asynchronous programming.
- Build high-performance TCP-based network applications, implementing custom protocols as needed.
- Design and implement gRPC services to enable efficient communication between microservices and systems.
- Integrate backend systems with blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos) and work with smart contracts.
- Implement and optimize quantitative models and algorithms for data analysis, financial computations, or other high-performance tasks.
- Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy, monitor, and optimize backend services in cloud or distributed environments.
- Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve performance issues in networking, blockchain integration, or quantitative computations.
- Stay up-to-date with advancements in Rust, blockchain, and quantitative tools.
Who You Are
- Proficiency in Rust programming with hands-on experience in backend development.
- Expertise in Tokio, asynchronous programming, and TCP networking.
- Experience building gRPC services and working with protocol buffers.
- Strong understanding of blockchain integration, including wallet SDKs (e.g., Ethers, Alloy) and smart contract interaction.
- Knowledge of quantitative development concepts, including implementing or optimizing algorithms and models.
- Proficiency in designing and implementing APIs using RESTful, GraphQL, or gRPC technologies.
- Familiarity with relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).
- Strong problem-solving, debugging and optimization skills, with a focus on networked and distributed systems.
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with cryptographic protocols and secure communication (e.g., TLS, mTLS).
- Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, and container orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience with quantitative libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, QuantLib) or financial systems.
- Knowledge of Layer-2 blockchain solutions (e.g. Arbitrum, ZkSync) and cross-chain technologies.
- Contributions to open-source Rust projects.
