Senior Golang / Rust Engineer (Solana Trading Bot) - FT - Worldwide

About the role

We’re looking for a senior Golang or Rust engineer to rewrite and optimize an existing Solana trading bot currently built in TypeScript (Watcher) and Python (Bot). The system is production-ready; the goal is higher speed, lower latency, and better reliability by merging both components into a single Go or Rust codebase.

What You’ll Work On

• Rewrite a Solana token watcher using gRPC / Shreds to detect new tokens in real time
• Implement fast parsing and filtering (mint, developer, liquidity pool, config rules)
• Build a high-performance trading engine that:
• Constructs and submits buy transactions with minimal latency
• Broadcasts transactions in parallel to multiple forwarders (HTTP, WebSockets, QUIC)
• Monitors pools and executes sell logic (TP, SL, configurable strategies)
• Optimize concurrency, networking, and throughput under heavy load

Requirements

• Strong production experience with Golang or Rust
• Deep understanding of concurrency, async systems, and performance optimization
• Experience building low-latency, high-throughput backend systems
• Comfortable reading existing Python and TypeScript code
• Clean, maintainable engineering practices

Nice to Have

• Solana or blockchain experience (not required)
• gRPC, WebSockets, QUIC
• Trading systems or real-time event processing
