How we know

It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.

Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Blockhouse, so its true age is longer.

Last checked Nov 2, 2026.

What it asks of you

2–5 years of experience
“You'll work directly with the founders and our quant researchers, and although the role is open to engineers with 2 to 5 years of experience, we expect you to step up quickly, setting objectives, writing specs, breaking work into tickets and guiding the rest of the engineering te” (quoted from the posting)

What the posting discloses

Not stated: Pay, real vacancy, AI screening.

Why these three

Ontario requires postings from employers with 25 or more staff to state the pay, whether the vacancy exists, and whether AI screens applicants.

Some employers add pay only on their own site. Check the original posting before you rule it out.

About the role

Quant Dev, Trading Systems (Rust and C++)

Blockhouse, full time, NYC in person or hybrid preferred, remote within US time zones considered

About Blockhouse

Blockhouse gives institutional asset managers access to the kind of trading infrastructure that usually takes years and millions of dollars to build. Founded in 2022, we run a noncustodial platform where clients keep custody of their assets while they trade, hedge and compound portfolios across crypto and tokenized markets, from FX and equities to treasuries and compute futures. Alongside the platform we run live delta neutral funding rate and market making strategies with client capital across major venues, and we keep expanding into new frontier markets such as compute hedging.

The role

This is a quant engineering role at its core, sitting between research and production and owning the path from a researcher's spec to a live signal trading real capital. You'll work directly with the founders and our quant researchers, and although the role is open to engineers with 2 to 5 years of experience, we expect you to step up quickly, setting objectives, writing specs, breaking work into tickets and guiding the rest of the engineering team with your judgment.

What you'll do

  • Turn research specs into production signals, including basis and FX pairs, nowcast fits, index futures pricing and momentum
  • Build and optimize low latency components in C++ and Rust, from market data publishers and book feeds to the market making engine itself
  • Own exchange connectivity across crypto and traditional venues, covering order books, rate limit pacing, funding and borrow data, and order reconciliation
  • Debug and harden production systems, including memory profiling, reconnect and heartbeat logic, and crash investigation
  • Co lead our cloud infrastructure with an existing senior engineer
  • Lead the engineering team day to day through specs, code review across our repos and onboarding of junior engineers

What we're looking for

  • Must have previous experience at a trading firm or building some kind of trading system at the professional level, side projects do not alone qualify
  • 2 to 5 years of production experience in C++ and Rust, with real depth in at least one and working fluency in the other
  • A track record of shipping low latency or performance sensitive trading systems
  • Strong grasp of concurrency, async programming, networking and performance trade offs on Linux
  • Comfort with Python and Go across tooling, gateways and research integration
  • The drive to lead, meaning you're ready to own objectives, direct others and make calls without waiting to be told

Nice to have

  • Experience integrating crypto or equities exchange APIs
  • Background in market making, HFT or execution systems
  • Familiarity with margin, funding and portfolio accounting across venues
  • Experience running trading infrastructure in the cloud

Why Blockhouse

  • Direct ownership of systems that drive firm PnL
  • Close work with the founders and quant team
  • Meaningful equity and performance upside
  • A live trading environment with a high engineering bar
