Job Description

Were building high-performance on-chain infrastructure on Solana and were looking for a top-tier Rust engineer who has already shipped production smart contracts.

Real programs. Real users. Real volume.


What Youll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade Solana programs (SVM)
  • Optimize for performance, compute efficiency, and security
  • Architect complex on-chain logic (DEX, bonding curves, staking, vaults, token mechanics)
  • Write clean, auditable Rust with long-term maintainability in mind
  • Lead contract design decisions from first principles
  • Work closely with backend + frontend engineers to ship fully integrated systems
  • Review, refactor, and harden existing contracts
  • Prepare codebases for external audits


You Must Have

  • Deep expertise in Rust
  • Strong experience with Solana (Anchor + native programs)
  • Shipped at least one production protocol or smart contract system
  • Experience handling:
  • PDAs
  • CPI calls
  • Account serialization
  • Compute optimization
  • Security patterns
  • Solid understanding of:
  • Token programs
  • DeFi mechanics
  • On-chain state design
  • Experience debugging mainnet issues under pressure


Bonus Points

  • Built or contributed to:
  • DEXs
  • Perps protocols
  • MEV-aware systems
  • High-frequency trading infra
  • Experience with security audits
  • Knowledge of validator architecture / RPC optimization
  • Performance tuning at the byte level


What We Care About

  • You think from first principles
  • You optimize for speed + security
  • Youve seen what fails in production
  • You move fast without breaking core logic
  • You want to build category-defining infrastructure


Environment

  • High-performance startup
  • Remote, async, execution-driven
  • Small team, high ownership
  • Direct impact on core protocol architecture
