About D2X
At D2X we are driven to become the first regulated derivatives exchange for the digital asset industry in Europe. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Tech and Finance and to facilitate institutional adoption of digital assets through derivatives. We recently raised our seed funding round, and we are looking for exceptional talents with an entrepreneurial drive and an interest in the digital asset space to join our fast-growing team.
Working for D2X means being proactive, creative, and adaptive. Our culture of innovation and accountability creates an environment that allows you to build your skills and career.
Technology at D2X
Digital assets trade round-the-clock, 365 days a year. Therefore, we are constantly seeking the most advanced technology to offer a fast and reliable trading interface. Rust allows us to achieve that in a productive way. Developing, testing and advancing our codebase is the bread and butter of our Engineers.
As a Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for setting architectural direction for our core exchange containers, delivering large bodies of well-crafted code and owning projects that directly impact D2X systems. You will work closely together in multidisciplinary teams to develop a deep understanding of trading, exchanges and how the hardware works on which our machines are running.
