Who We Are
At Raven, we’re building a next-generation crypto trading and market-making platform. Our mission is to create the most efficient, transparent, and resilient infrastructure for decentralized finance.
We believe the future of trading is fast, global, and trustless - and we’re assembling a team of builders who want to shape that future. As a growing startup in the crypto trading space, we thrive on curiosity, experimentation, and bold execution.
The Role: HFT Systems Engineer
We’re looking for a deeply technical engineer with a passion for low-latency, high-performance systems. You’ll be part of a small, high-leverage team responsible for building and optimizing the core infrastructure that powers Raven’s high-frequency trading strategies.
This role is critical to our success: you’ll be working on infrastructure that directly drives execution speed, reliability, and profitability across multiple exchanges.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure.
- Optimize Linux kernel, networking stack, and system performance for microsecond-level execution.
- Develop and maintain trading system components in C++ / Rust / Python.
- Monitor, debug, and tune production systems under real-time trading conditions.
- Collaborate with traders, researchers, and product teams to align infrastructure with strategy needs.
- Implement automation, monitoring, and observability for reliable 24/7 operations.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves:
- Proven experience with low-latency systems (HFT, networking, distributed systems, or OS-level performance work).
- Strong expertise in Linux internals: CPU pinning, IRQ affinity, kernel bypass (DPDK, XDP, Solarflare, etc.).
- Proficiency in Rust and/or C++.
- Solid understanding of TCP/UDP networking and system profiling.
- Fluent in English.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with market microstructure or crypto exchange APIs (FIX, WebSocket).
- Knowledge of distributed systems and consensus protocols.
- Contributions to open-source performance or networking projects.
Why Join RavenDAO?
- Work on infrastructure that powers high-volume crypto trading and shapes the future of decentralized markets.
- Remote-first culture with an option to relocate to Sofia.
- A lean, high-performance team solving deep technical challenges in trading, systems, and crypto.
