• Design, develop, and maintain the core backend systems of our decentralized perpetual contract trading platform, ensuring high performance and low latency.
• Deeply participate in the design and implementation of trading matching engines, order management systems, market data systems, risk control modules, and liquidation mechanisms to ensure high availability and scalability.
• Develop core business logic using Rust, striving for optimal system performance and stability.
• Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, smart contract engineers, and product teams to drive product feature iterations and technical architecture upgrades.
• Continuously analyze and optimize system performance, solve complex technical challenges, and ensure secure and stable platform operation.
• Write high-quality, maintainable code and produce clear technical design and implementation documentation.
• Actively participate in code reviews, share technical knowledge, and contribute to the overall technical growth of the team.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of backend development experience, including hands-on design and development of core systems for order book-based exchanges (e.g., trading matching engines, order management systems, market data feeds, risk control modules).
• Proficiency in Rust with substantial project experience, capable of building high-performance, high-concurrency backend services; familiarity with asynchronous programming models (e.g., Tokio/Actix frameworks).
• Deep understanding of message queue core mechanisms (e.g., message models, delivery guarantees, high-throughput design, high-availability strategies, message consistency, ordered messages, delayed messages, transactional messages).
• Strong grasp of distributed systems and microservices architecture design principles and practices.
• Familiarity with at least one relational database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and one NoSQL database (e.g., Redis), with optimization experience.
• Ability to read and understand Java and Golang code for integrating with existing system modules.

• Strong remote communication and collaboration skills, with successful remote work experience; self-driven with a high sense of responsibility and efficient time management.
• Good English reading and writing skills for technical documentation and communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with mainstream message queues like RocketMQ or Kafka, including deep usage or optimization.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes (k8s) container orchestration and practical experience in containerized application deployment and operations.
• Source-code-level understanding of message middleware like RocketMQ or Kafka.
• Deep knowledge or practical experience in blockchain technology (especially mainstream public chains and L2 solutions) and smart contract development.
• Understanding of DeFi protocols and internal mechanisms of decentralized exchanges (DEX).
• In-depth research and practice in performance optimization, memory management, and network programming.
• Strong understanding of system security, attack/defense strategies, and practical experience.
• Active open-source community contributor or technical blogger with relevant sharing experience.
