• Integrating with APIs and Solana-specific tooling (e.g., Jito)
• Monitoring performance and implementing improvements to boost efficiency, reliability, and security
• Building fast and efficient smart contracts where necessary
• Collaborating closely with a lean, high-output team on overall trading architecture
• Maintaining clean, well-documented code that others can build on

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in Rust with practical blockchain development experience
• Deep knowledge of Solana’s runtime, accounts model, and async programming patterns
• Experience with frameworks and tools such as Anchor, Jito, and Solana RPC/WebSocket APIs
• Familiarity with DEXs like Raydium or Serum and how to interact with them programmatically
• Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, agile development environment
• Solid grasp of security best practices in blockchain and DeFi contexts
• Git proficiency and clear communication skills

Bonus Points For

• Experience implementing MEV strategies on Solana
• Contributions to open-source Solana or DeFi projects
• Prior experience in a startup, fintech, or crypto-native company
• Exposure to database design (SQL/NoSQL) and lightweight data analysis
• A creative, problem-solving mindset in environments with limited libraries or off-the-shelf tools

What’s in It for You

• 100% remote work with flexible scheduling (EU or US time zones preferred)
• A chance to build and deploy real tools in production from day one
• Work alongside a team of experienced blockchain engineers and quants
• A flat structure with autonomy and room for rapid growth
• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives

If you're a developer who thrives in high-impact environments, is excited to build next-gen tooling that moves at the speed of the market, and you want to help shape the next wave of DeFi automation along the way, this could be a the role of a lifetime!
