Raven is a proprietary high-frequency trading firm operating in digital asset markets that never
close. Our performance depends on the efficiency and reliability of the systems underneath our

deep understanding of how software behaves under real-world constraints.
What you’ll work on
- Building and maintaining core trading infrastructure on Linux
- Improving system performance, networking, and I/O efficiency
- Profiling and tuning applications at the CPU, memory, and OS level
- Reducing latency and improving determinism across the stack
- Supporting deployment and runtime environments for live systems
- Working closely with trading and systems teams to remove bottlenecks
What we’re looking for
- Strong background in systems programming
- Experience with Linux internals, performance tuning, or networking
- Proficiency in Rust, C/C++, or similar low-level languages
- Comfort debugging complex system behavior
- Clear communication skills in English
This role could be a good fit if you
- Take ownership and enjoy working on performance-critical systems
- Prefer small, non-hierarchical teams with direct impact
- Are motivated by measurable improvements rather than abstractions
- Enjoy working close to the system and understanding how things really work
