Rust Engineer to $3000

We are looking for a Rust Engineer to join our team and help build a high-performance, blockchain-based real-time trading platform. In this role, you’ll design and scale backend microservices that process high-volume, low-latency financial data and integrate directly with the Solana blockchain.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain Rust microservices for Solana data integration and ETL pipelines.
• Build and optimize asynchronous APIs (e.g., Actix, async-std).
• Integrate with event streaming platforms such as Kafka or Redis Streams.
• Ensure secure handling and encryption of sensitive wallet data.
• Deploy and operate services in a Kubernetes-based, containerized environment.
• Collaborate with Go engineers, frontend developers, and other stakeholders to deliver scalable solutions.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of backend development with Rust, including strong async programming experience.
• Experience integrating with blockchain platforms (ideally Solana).
• Familiarity with Kafka, REST/gRPC APIs, and PostgreSQL.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• A security-first mindset and strong attention to detail.

Bonus Points

• Direct experience with the Solana SDK in Rust.
• Exposure to time-series databases (e.g., TimescaleDB), monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
• Knowledge of stream processing, trading systems, or wallet integrations.
• Background in fintech or other highly secure, scalable environments.
