HFT Engineer – Trading Systems (CeFi)
Raven is a proprietary high-frequency trading firm focused on digital asset markets.
We build fully automated trading systems that operate 24/7 across global venues,
where latency, correctness, and reliability matter.
As part of our Trading Systems team, you will work on components that sit close to live markets —
from real-time data processing to execution logic. This role is production-facing and
focused on building reliable, high-performance systems.
What you’ll work on
- Developing and maintaining real-time trading system components
- Building and optimizing market data pipelines
- Implementing order handling and execution logic used by live strategies
- Writing production-grade, high-performance code, primarily in Rust
- Profiling and improving systems for latency, throughput, and correctness
- Collaborating closely with quantitative and infrastructure engineers
What we’re looking for
- Strong programming skills and interest in systems-level development
- Experience with Rust, or a strong willingness to learn it
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals and asynchronous systems
- Comfort working in Linux environments
- 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 curious about digital asset markets and real-time systems
- Are motivated by challenging problems, not rigid processes
