• Debug live systems against real trading logs and production behavior.

What you'll need#

• Solid Rust experience with non-trivial projects beyond tutorial work.
• Comfort working within Linux/UNIX environments.
• A strong grasp of concurrency, async, and performance tradeoffs.
• Ability to write clean, well-tested code with fluency in standard debugging workflows.
• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Data Science.
