Who We Are
Stablecoins are beginning to reshape the global FX market, where more than $10 trillion trades every day. Hibachi is building the exchange designed for that shift.
We are building a modern central limit order book for global currencies with transparent prices, direct access to liquidity, and infrastructure designed for continuous global markets. Our goal is to open FX trading beyond the traditional interbank system and create a venue where global money can move freely.
We are a small team of engineers and traders who have built market infrastructure at Tower Research, Citadel, Coinbase, and Bloomberg. We care deeply about performance, correctness, and building systems that operate at global scale.
Hibachi is backed by Dragonfly Capital, Electric Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Circle Ventures.

About The Technology
Hibachi runs a high performance off chain central limit order book built for fast, private trading and deep liquidity. Zero knowledge proofs allow anyone to verify the exchange’s solvency on chain without revealing user positions. The result is transparent infrastructure built for global markets.
The Role
We’re looking for a seasoned Rust engineer to help build and extend the core trading systems that power Hibachi. This role focuses primarily on exchange functionality — execution logic, ledger operations, and performance optimization — but the role offers exposure to smart contract engineering as well.
You’ll Be Responsible for:
You’ll Be Responsible for:
- Designing and implementing high-performance Rust systems for matching, execution, and settlement
- Collaborating on architecture for trading flows, ledger operations, and data pipelines
- Optimizing concurrency, memory usage, and throughput for institutional-scale trading
- Improving observability, error handling, and resilience in critical trading paths
- Acting as a thought partner for design improvements to the ZK infrastructure and data availability pipeline
- Working hand-in-hand with frontend, data, infrastructure, and security engineering teams to build the best experience possible for the Hibachi community
You’ll Need to Have:
- 3+ years of professional Rust experience (mid to senior level)
- Strong background in performance engineering and concurrency (Tokio, Rayon, lock-free design)
- Familiarity with exchange or OMS systems, trading flows, or other real-time infrastructure
- Deep problem-solving and design skills suited to ambitious startup environments
- Comfort owning features from concept to deployment
- Familiarity with Web3 primitives and ecosystem
We’d Love to See:
- Familiarity with ZK systems, proofs, or smart contract interactions
- Background in trading, HFT, or capital markets infrastructure
- Experience with blockchain or decentralized protocols
