Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About Bulk
Bulk Exchange is building the first block-less, leader-less, geographically distributed exchange (CLOB), targeting <25 ms matching latency globally. By embedding our “Bulk Tile” matching layer within a custom fork of the Solana validator (Bulk-Agave), we deliver HFT-grade performance with L1 security and on-chain finality.

Our team culture:

• High ownership: Every team member drives architecture and roadmap decisions.
• Fast execution: We ship, measure, and iterate
• Technical excellence: We solve complex problems with cutting edge research. Latency deltas matter; we profile until they disappear.

If you’re excited about any of the verticals below… We want to hear from you.

• Designing liquidity provision systems for decentralized exchanges
• Crafting sophisticated margining and funding frameworks.
• Building robust liquidation systems for high-frequency markets.
• Pushing the boundaries of making markets better.

You’ll architect the future of decentralized liquidity and risk management, directly impacting the future of internal capital markets. We offer competitive compensation, significant equity, and the chance to solve problems that matter. Don’t just watch markets evolve - build them with us.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Maintain BLP: Develop and optimize the Bulk Liquidity • Provider (BLP) system, to ensure deep liquidity and capital efficiency for our CLOB.
• Build Clearing House Systems: Architect margining, funding, and liquidation mechanisms to support high-performance trading with real-time risk management.
• Quantitative Modeling: Create and refine models for pricing, risk assessment, and liquidation triggers for our CLOB.
• Performance Optimization: Collaborate with engineers to integrate BLP and clearing systems into Bulk-Agave, targeting <25 ms latency.

Requirements:

• Experience: 3+ years in quantitative finance, trading systems, or DeFi, with a focus on liquidity and clearing house systems.
• Skills: Proficiency in Rust, Python, or C++ for quantitative modeling; experience with orderbooks or HFT systems is a plus.
• Background: Expertise in derivatives pricing, risk management, or blockchain-based financial systems.
• Mindset: Analytical and detail-oriented; eager to tackle uncharted problems; clear communicator with high agency.
