Quantitative Software Engineer (Low Latency / Rust)

Job Description

Role Quantitative Software Engineer (Low Latency / Rust) Location Gurugram, India (on-site) Description At tensorfox, we build ultra-low latency trading systems to compete in some of the most competitive electronic markets — including Binance and other global crypto exchanges. We’re hiring Quantitative Software Engineers who can write high-performance code, reason about edge under uncertainty, and enjoy solving hard technical puzzles in real time. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of systems engineering, probabilistic thinking, and live market dynamics. You’ll build and optimize code that processes market data, reacts in microseconds, and drives real capital decisions — all while working closely with traders and researchers. The Mission Architect and optimize low-latency trading systems for global crypto exchanges (especially Binance). Write performant, robust, and maintainable code — ideally in Rust , or with a strong willingness to learn it quickly. Build systems that operate reliably under high throughput, low-latency conditions. Collaborate with traders and quants to translate strategy into executable logic and infrastructure. Use statistics, telemetry, and intuition to profile, debug, and improve performance. Apply logical thinking and curiosity to uncover hard-to-see system bottlenecks or design flaws. Compete — intellectually and technologically — against some of the fastest systems in the world. The Skills and Qualifications Strong programming ability — ideally in Rust , or excited to learn it quickly. C++ or low-level systems experience also valued. Deep understanding of Linux internals, networking, and performance profiling. Experience with crypto exchange APIs (especially Binance ) and real-time data processing. Strong problem-solving ability; enjoys puzzles, games, or optimizing things for fun. Background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a similar technical field. Thinks logically , clearly , and probabilistically — uses data, stats, and reasoning to drive technical decisions. Bonus: Experience with kernel bypass (e.g., DPDK), high-throughput messaging, or hardware-aware optimizations. Bonus: Familiarity with market microstructure or trading systems. The Compensation For strong grads : $40,000 – 50,000 USD per year For experienced hires : Compensation will depend on prior experience and demonstrated performance Discretionary bonus and performance-linked upside available A fast-moving, meritocratic environment where engineers ship directly to production and see impact quickly
