System Engineer

Company: REALM
Apply for the System Engineer
Location: London
Job Description:

An established, high-performing team in London operating right at the centre of Ethereum’s transaction supply chain is hiring a Systems Engineer to help push the limits of speed and efficiency in a genuinely competitive, real-time environment.

You’d take ownership of core systems from first principles through to production, with your work shipping fast and having a direct, measurable effect on business performance.

This is a space that’s evolving rapidly, with protocol-level shifts opening up real scope to shape both the team’s approach and the wider landscape.

Must haves:

  • Strong systems-level programming in Rust (C++ considered)
  • Comfortable solving novel problems fast in competitive conditions
  • Low-level performance instincts re cache behaviour, memory layout, and what your code compiles down to, not just the logic on the page
  • Hands-on experience profiling and squeezing out performance gains in production systems
  • High agency: comfortable owning a system end-to-end

Highly valued:

  • Understanding of blockchain VMs (e.g. EVM)
  • Blockchain fundamentals, transaction supply chain, MEV
  • Auction systems or game theory background

On-site in London – relocation supported for the right person.

Comp:

  • Top-of-market base salary plus a guaranteed minimum bonus.
  • Uncapped bonus tied directly to company P&L
