Founding Backend Engineer, Market Infrastructure

Role

This includes indexing, APIs, risk dashboards, internal tools, analytics, monitoring, and automated services around the protocol. You will also build and operate the market infrastructure that helps long-tail perp markets trade reliably: monitoring prices and liquidity across venues, routing transactions, and putting the right safeguards around automated execution.

For some markets, this infrastructure may be essential to keeping prices aligned and the market usable. We will use Rust for backend systems and TypeScript for frontend work. You should be able to build reliable backend systems while understanding the protocol.

You should have

• Proficiency in Rust, plus TypeScript for backend systems.
• Experience with onchain indexing, RPC, event pipelines, or high-throughput blockchain data.
• Strong database, API, queue, and observability fundamentals.
• Enough DeFi knowledge to understand positions, collateral, PnL, liquidations, funding, and oracle data.
• Experience building or operating automated trading, market-making, arbitrage, liquidation, or keeper systems, ideally onchain.
• Ability to reason about market and operational risk, including inventory and exposure limits, circuit breakers, reconciliation, alerting, and incident response.
• Taste for correctness and operational reliability.

Strong signal

• You have operated production onchain market-making, arbitrage, liquidation, or execution bots, and can explain their failure modes as clearly as their strategy.
• Hands-on experience with Solana MEV or basis-trade arbitrage in perpetual futures markets.
• You can reconcile protocol state precisely.
• You can move fast without producing brittle infrastructure.
