Senior Rust Backend Engineer – Trading Systems
Level up your backend developer career with the fastest-growing crypto prop firm.
HyroTrader is a next-gen crypto proprietary trading platform giving traders worldwide direct access to simulated funded accounts on ByBit and CLEO, with no geographic or jurisdictional limits.
We’re a small, agile team of traders and developers, moving fast and staying lean.
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep experience in Rust/Go, API and WebSocket service development, and a proven track record in building and monitoring trading systems (e.g., exchange, brokerage, or similar environments such as Binance, Bybit, etc.). Strong hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and Sentry is required.
We will only process applications that include a link to your Git repository with work examples at the very beginning of your message. Applications without a repo link will not be considered.
Your Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and optimize backend systems powering our trading platform.
• Build APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) and WebSocket services for real-time data streaming.
• Architect scalable and fault-tolerant solutions with high availability.
• Implement monitoring, observability, and automation for production services.
• Collaborate with traders and developers to deliver mission-critical features.
What We’re Looking For
• Excellent knowledge of Rust / Go and/or Python
• Strong experience with Bash scripting and automation
• Advanced knowledge of Apache Kafka (design, optimization, troubleshooting, cluster management)
• Experience with Redis (cache + message broker, performance optimization)
• Proficiency in SQL (PostgreSQL preferred) and NoSQL databases
• Proven track record designing REST, GraphQL, and/or gRPC APIs
• Experience with WebSockets for real-time communication & data streaming
• Solid understanding of containerization (Docker; Kubernetes is a plus)
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred)
• Familiarity with monitoring & observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Sentry, etc.)
• At least basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, HTTP, load balancing, security, proxies)
• Background in building for scalability, high availability, failover, and resilience
Nice to Have
• Experience with event-driven architectures, microservices, CQRS, and DDD
• Work with big data and stream processing
• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Familiarity with other message brokers (RabbitMQ, etc.)
• Experience with load testing and performance tuning
• Knowledge of API gateways and service mesh
• Backend security expertise (OAuth2, JWT, rate limiting, audit logs)
• Experience with legacy system migrations
Why Join HyroTrader?
• Be part of a core team shaping the product from the ground up.
• Work on fast-moving fintech and Web3 projects with real user impact.
• Flat structure — your ideas are heard and implemented quickly.
• Fully remote, async-friendly, and flexible hours.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and contribution.

• A link to your GitHub repo (required, at the very top of your message)
