Our client is a company based in Dubai that wishes to maintain confidentiality. We develop and operate high-performance infrastructure for algorithmic trading in the crypto space—real-time data, low-latency execution on centralized and decentralized platforms (perps, prediction markets, DeFi), and secure key management.
We invite only the best to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to join a world-class team: we hire only the most talented, driven, and responsible professionals. If you're accustomed to working to high standards, value results, and are ready for rapid growth, you're here.
Description
Build and operate real-time data pipelines and execution systems for live crypto trading across centralized and decentralized venues. If you build fast systems, care about security, and move quickly, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
- Ingest real-time market and on-chain data streams
- Build low-latency execution for perps, prediction markets, DeFi
- Work with blockchain infra, APIs, WebSockets, and contracts
- Implement safe, hierarchical key management for hot wallets
- Maintain databases and cloud systems
- Productionize strategies with researchers
- Use LLMs and AI tools to ship faster
- Improve performance, monitoring, and reliability.
We expect you to have
- Experience in building low‑latency / real‑time / high‑throughput systems or comparable infra experience
- Production experience in Python + Rust. ML + AI + Statistics for research/automation. Understanding of crypto finance (fair pricing, perpetual futures, market making, arbitrage)
