Senior Low Latency Engineer
Job Description
About Us
GSR is crypto's capital markets partner, helping founders and institutions scale with confidence. With over a decade of specialized expertise, we deliver institutional-grade market making, OTC trading, and strategic venture capital to support growth at every stage.
Our value goes beyond execution. We provide access to liquidity, real-time market intelligence, and strategic guidance shaped by years operating at the center of global crypto markets.

About the Role

This is hands-on development on production-critical systems, sitting within a multiregional team of five, working closely with Trading, Quant and Engineering to get solutions into production fast.
You'll also shape how we organise and expose our data: cataloguing, tracing provenance, and building the APIs and services that let users query analytics data themselves rather than wait on you.
