⚡ Senior Rust Engineer – High-Frequency Trading 🌍 UK Time Zone (Remote-friendly) 💲 Up to $300k base + Benefits The Company Storm2's client is a London-based research and trading firm building a tier-one HFT platform. Small team, high bar, and serious about what they're building. You'd be their fifth Rust hire. The Role Most Rust roles aren't really Rust roles. This one is. You'll be building the systems that power live trading operations: data ingestion, order management, execution, and risk, in an environment where microseconds matter and the margin for error is essentially zero. There's also real scope to ideate and build logic for new instruments and markets, so this isn't purely optimisation work on existing systems. The expectation is that you drive the design of those systems yourself, not wait to be pointed at a problem. The team is lean, highly technical, and academically rigorous. They're not hiring someone to execute a spec. They want someone who grabs initiative, shapes the architecture, and takes genuine ownership of what they build. If you've founded something, led a platform from scratch, or consistently been the person in previous roles who defined how things were built rather than just building them, that matters a lot here. On the technical side, they want to see: • Real HFT or market making experience in Rust, or a background in ultra-high-performance, large-scale throughput systems where the engineering demands are genuinely comparable., • Years of experience matters less than the depth and context you've built: someone five years into the right career is more interesting to this team than someone ten years into the wrong one., • Trading background or exposure to market microstructure is a genuine differentiator and will make you significantly more valuable in this seat from day one. If you want to work on something technically uncompromising alongside people who will push you, it's worth a conversation. 📧 Click 'Easy Apply' or email ⚡ Storm2 is a specialist FinTech recruitment firm with clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

Company Description AI agents are becoming autonomous - they execute code, call APIs, and make decisions without human oversight. An adequate security approach to govern them doesn't exist yet. We're building it. Our founding team created Sigstore, the open-source signing standard now used by npm, PyPI, Kubernetes, and other critical infrastructure. We're applying that same thinking to agentic security: execution boundaries, immutable attestation, and dynamic capability management for AI agents. This is a UK based role, but we may consider hiring from Europe and the US East Coast for exception candidates. What You'll Do • Contribute directly to the Nono open source project - code, documentation, and architectural proposals., • Experiment with different deployment architectures for Nono across cloud environments, on-premise infrastructure, and hybrid setups and share your findings with others at Always Further, and often with the community, via our blogging platforms or YouTube channel., • Work closely with early design partners to integrate Nono into proof-of-concept and pilot programmes, gathering feedback and translating it into engineering priorities., • Support pre-sales and post-sales engineering conversations with tier-1 enterprise organisations., • Produce technical content - blog posts, architecture guides, demos - that helps users and customers get the most out of Nono. What We're Looking For • AI engineering experience. You understand how modern AI/ML workloads are built, deployed, and orchestrated. Familiarity with agent frameworks and LLM-based systems is a strong plus., • Rust and Python proficiency. You don't need to be a language lawyer in either, but you should be comfortable reading, writing, and reviewing code in both. Rust experience is especially important for contributing to Nono's core, while Python is often used for tooling, research integration, and customer-facing scripts., • DevOps and cloud fluency. You've worked with container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and some familiar with others.. Infrastructure-as-code is a strong point., • Security background. Understanding of host isolation, sandboxing, and supply chain security is highly valued. If you've worked on container security, VM isolation, or trusted execution environments, even better., • Open source experience. You've contributed to or maintained popular open source projects and understand how healthy communities operate - governance, code review culture, release processes, and community engagement., • Strong communication skills. You're equally comfortable in a GitHub issue thread with community contributors and in a room (or on a call) with enterprise architects and CISOs. Nice to Have • Background in systems programming, low-level Linux, or virtualisation technologies., • Strong hands on architectural knowdledge of how to deploy and operate complex distributed systems in production., • Familiarity with AI agent security challenges - prompt injection, tool misuse, data exfiltration, lateral movement., • Previous experience in a solutions engineering, or field engineering role at a startup or open source company. Why Join Always Further • Foundational impact. You're not joining a team — you're building one. Your architectural decisions become the product., • Foundational Stake & Compensation. As an early foundational hire at a pre-seed company, you will receive a highly competitive equity stake designed to reward early risk-taking and outsized impact, paired with a pre-seed base salary., • Remote, UK preferred. We're UK-based but open to exceptional candidates wherever they are. We provide flexible working built on trust and ownership., • Interested? Send us your CV along with your GitHub profile that links to any relevant open source contributions, blog posts, or projects. A short note on why this role interests you goes a long way.

The Opportunity - (Fully Remote, Perm role) This is a greenfield data platform build. ___ is in the middle of a major AI transformation — a multi‐agent copilot platform (KAI) is already live in production, serving manufacturing clients globally. The AI roadmap is ambitious (agentic AI capabilities, multi‐agent orchestration, voice interfaces), and the next wave of capabilities depends on a strong data engineering foundation. A Databricks lakehouse POC is being evaluated (Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, PrivateLink to RDS), and the team is assessing the right long‐term analytics platform strategy. This role builds the entire data engineering function from scratch — defining the architecture, tooling, and patterns that power the next generation of AI capabilities. This is an entirely forward‐looking role. While there is an active platform modernisation underway (the engineering team is migrating a .NET platform from SQL Server to PostgreSQL and containerising for Kubernetes), this role’s primary focus is building new data pipelines and analytics infrastructure, not maintaining legacy systems. That said, collaboration with the platform engineering team is important, as the data pipelines need to ingest from both the existing SQL Server estate and the new PostgreSQL databases. Core Technical Requirements • Python — primary language for data pipelines, scripting, and integration with the AI stack. This is a Python‐first team, • SQL (SQL Server + PostgreSQL) — deep experience required across both engines. The platform runs a large‐scale multi‐tenant database estate with per‐client schemas (local, global, corporate). The new platform targets Aurora PostgreSQL, with several modules already migrated. Pipelines must bridge both., • Databricks / Apache Spark — a lakehouse POC is being evaluated with Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing via AWS PrivateLink. Experience with Databricks or equivalent analytics platforms is important for assessing and scaling the right approach, • Apache Kafka — event streaming experience is essential. The platform is evaluating Kafka as the strategic backbone for ordered event logs, consumer group replay, and guaranteed partition ordering as the microservices fleet scales, • ETL/ELT pipeline design — building and maintaining pipelines into a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold layers) on Databricks or equivalent analytics platform, • Delta Lake — understanding of lakehouse table formats, time travel, and ACID transaction patterns, • AWS data services — RDS, S3, Lambda, Glue or equivalent. The platform runs entirely on AWS • Linux / CLI proficiency — must be comfortable working AI-Assisted Development Methodology -> Solvace is transitioning towards AI‐assisted development as a core engineering practice. Candidates should demonstrate: • Hands‐on experience with AI coding tools — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar. We’re looking for engineers who have integrated these tools into their professional workflow, not just experimented casually, • Spec‐driven development — ability to write clear technical specifications that can be used to drive both human and AI‐assisted implementation, with strong evaluation criteria and test coverage, • Portfolio evidence — professional projects or side projects that demonstrate AI‐assisted development practices. Contributions to or experimentation with emerging projects like OpenClaw are a strong signal, • Testing and evaluation rigour — experience building robust test suites, automated quality gates, and evaluation frameworks that ensure AI‐assisted code meets production standards Nice-to-Have -> • Apache Flink — for real‐time stream processing as the platform moves from batch to streaming analytics, • Apache Iceberg — experience with open table formats alongside or as an alternative to Delta Lake, • Go or Rust — valued as evidence of strong backend engineering and systems thinking, even though Python is the primary language, • Multi‐tenant data architectures — the platform runs per‐client schemas with tenant isolation requirements. Understanding tenant isolation patterns is a significant advantage, • Terraform / IaC — infrastructure is managed via Terraform; the Databricks POC has been codified in Terraform, • dbt or similar transformation framework, • Manufacturing / industrial data domain experience (sensor data, quality metrics, OEE, SPC), • CDC (Change Data Capture) — the platform is building CDC pipelines for the SQL Server to PostgreSQL transition, • Weaviate or other vector database experience — currently used for semantic search in the AI agent layer Why Join? • Greenfield data platform — the entire data engineering practice needs to be built from scratch. A lakehouse POC is being evaluated but the production architecture is theirs to define — patterns, tooling, and platform decisions from day one, • Direct AI impact — every pipeline they build directly unblocks AI agent capabilities. The KAI copilot is live in production and evolving towards agentic AI — autonomous agents that take actions, orchestrate workflows, and operate across systems. This role provides the data foundation that makes agentic capabilities possible, • Event streaming architecture — opportunity to design and implement a Kafka‐based event backbone, shaping the platform’s real‐time data architecture, • Manufacturing AI — opportunity to work at the intersection of industrial operations and generative AI, a domain with massive untapped potential. Rich, real‐world data: quality inspections, KPIs, maintenance records, safety observations, process parameters across global manufacturing sites, • Small team, high autonomy — the Innovation Hub operates with startup‐level autonomy inside a funded, growing company, • Leadership trajectory — the data function is critical to the platform and will grow. As an early hire, there is an open career path that will grow with the function — earned, not guaranteed
