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
