Technology at D2X 

Digital assets trade round-the-clock, 365 days a year. Therefore, we are constantly seeking the most advanced technology to offer a fast and reliable trading interface. Rust allows us to achieve that in a productive way. Developing, testing, and optimizing our codebase is the bread and butter of our engineers.  We are eager to adopt innovative technologies as we see fit, and everyone’s opinion and experience of technology is valued.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for setting architectural direction for our core exchange containers, delivering large bodies of well-crafted code, and owning projects that directly impact D2X systems. You will work closely together in multidisciplinary teams to develop a deep understanding of trading, exchanges and how the hardware works on which our machines are running. You're not attached to tools and technologies; you focus on solving problems. Your challenge is to further innovate and maintain the foundation underlying our wider infrastructure.

Your responsibilities

  • Lead talented, young engineers by reviewing code, fostering their technical and professional growth, and creating an environment where continuous learning is a given;
  • Actively contribute to internal tooling, including production pipelines, testing frameworks and shared services;
