Quant Developer (Rust/C++)
Skills
About This Role
Overview
Quantitative Developer - Trading Systems (Rust / C++ )
TechShack are partnered with a large crypto-native trading firm with institutional backing.
They are hiring a Quant Developer to join their trading systems team in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Their Trading Systems team are a small, high-autonomy team of 4 - 6, building and maintaining the full execution stack across 25+ exchange venues.
The codebase spans C++, Rust, and Python - and they need someone comfortable working across different languages, with an interest in Rust.
This is not a pure latency role.
They care about systems that run autonomously and are easy to change rather than over-optimising for speed.
Crypto experience is non-negotiable - professional or personal.
Reports directly to the Head of Trading Systems.
Compensation
- in USD, tax-free.
- They also offer relocation and visa support.
- What you will work on
- Build and maintain automated trading systems that operate 24/7 with minimal supervision.
- Develop and optimise exchange connectivity across CEX venues (FIX, WebSocket, REST).
- Work across the OTC and lit execution stack - from RFQ pricing and hedging through to settlement.
- Navigate and extend an existing C++ codebase while pushing new development towards Rust.
- Design systems that prioritise maintainability and reliability over raw nanosecond optimisation.
- Own algo development end-to-end - from signal to execution.
- Work with a small team where everyone ships production code and has real ownership.
- What we are looking for
- Three or more years building production trading systems or infrastructure.
- Comfortable working across C++, Rust, and Python - not a single-language specialist.
- Has built or meaningfully contributed to automated systems that run without constant supervision.
- Crypto trading infrastructure experience - exchange connectivity, order management, execution.
- Strong system design instincts - you think about the whole architecture, not just the function you're writing.
- Understands order-book mechanics, exchange protocols, and execution flow.
- Nice to have
- OTC trade lifecycle experience (RFQ, pricing, hedging, settlement).
- Smart order routing or TCA.
- Experience migrating systems from C++ to Rust.
- Linux tuning, containers, CI/CD, observability.
- Strong CS fundamentals.
- Why this role
- Firm with institutional stability and crypto pace.
- Small team, direct reporting line to the head of trading systems.
- Full-stack ownership from algo development through execution.
- Dubai, tax-free compensation.
