Senior Systems Engineer – High Performance Trading Infrastructure (CLOBS)

Overview

We are building the next generation of real-time trading infrastructure for prediction markets.

Our goal is simple: create a system capable of supporting professional traders, automated strategies, and deep liquidity while maintaining deterministic execution and extremely low latency.

We are looking for a where every microsecond and every allocation matters.

You will design and implement the core execution engine responsible for processing orders, maintaining price priority, matching liquidity, and broadcasting market data in real time.

This is not a CRUD backend role. It is a .

What You'll Work On

Design and implement the core order processing and trade execution system

Build deterministic matching logic with strict price/time priority

Optimize critical paths for microsecond-level latency

Design memory-efficient data structures for order queues and market state

Build high-throughput pipelines for order entry, trade events, and market data

Implement real-time streaming infrastructure for market updates

Build safeguards: rate limits, circuit breakers, and manipulation protection

Profile and optimize performance across CPU, memory, and network layers

Collaborate with research teams experimenting with novel market mechanics

Technical Challenges

You will be working on problems such as:

Handling thousands of order events per second with deterministic execution

Designing lock-free or low-contention data structures

Maintaining under heavy concurrency

Building low-latency event pipelines

Optimizing memory allocation and cache efficiency

Designing systems that remain predictable under burst load

Requirements

5+ years of experience building high-performance backend or systems software

Strong knowledge of concurrency and low-latency architecture

Experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other performance-oriented languages

Experience building real-time systems where latency and determinism matter

Deep understanding of data structures and algorithmic performance

Comfort profiling and optimizing systems at the CPU and memory level

Strong Plus

Experience building trading systems or exchange infrastructure

Background in algorithmic trading or market microstructure

Experience optimizing network stacks or message queues

Experience with high-frequency trading environments

What We Value

Engineers who obsess over performance

Clear thinking about systems under load

People who enjoy solving difficult infrastructure problems

Pragmatism over academic perfection
