Senior Rust Developer – Crypto Desk | Global Hedge Fund | Hong Kong

Senior Rust Developer | Crypto | Hong Kong - relocation opportunity

Build a new crypto trading desk from the ground up.

I’m working with one of the largest global hedge funds in the world as they make a major push into digital assets and build out a new crypto trading business in Hong Kong .

They’re looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join the team at an early stage and help build the core technology powering the desk.

This is not a maintenance role.

You’ll be building greenfield, performance-critical trading systems in Rust , helping shape the architecture and technical foundations of a new institutional crypto platform backed by the infrastructure, capital and resources of a world-leading hedge fund.

The focus is on engineers who have already worked deep within crypto — ideally at a leading exchange, market maker, proprietary trading firm or digital asset business — and understand the unique technical challenges of operating in always-on crypto markets.

What they’re looking for:

• Strong production Rust
• Genuine crypto / digital assets experience
• Experience building performance-critical or distributed systems
• Strong systems, networking and concurrency fundamentals
• Engineers who want real ownership rather than simply joining an established platform

For a senior Rust engineer in crypto, this is a rare chance to get in early on a brand-new desk inside one of the biggest names in global hedge funds and have a meaningful hand in building the technology behind it.
