As we address the challenges of traditional exchanges and DeFi, our vision is to be the preferred digital asset marketplace for a diverse range of clients.

Position Overview:

You'll work closely with our talented engineering team to develop and maintain critical systems that power Cube. Your primary focus will be on Rust-based backend systems, spanning from the matching engine, to derivatives pricing, margin, and liquidation engines, to blockchain settlement. If you're a proactive and experienced engineer who thrives on responsibility and is eager to contribute to a revolutionary digital asset platform, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full Stack Ownership:
    Assume complete ownership of a specific segment of our technology stack, including design, development, testing, and maintenance. Your expertise will be instrumental in driving the success and reliability of this portion of our platform.
  • Technical Leadership:
    Provide technical leadership within your domain, guiding and mentoring junior and mid-level engineers. Foster a culture of excellence, best practices, and continuous improvement.
  • Architectural Design:
    Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement scalable, efficient, and secure solutions. Ensure that your segment aligns with the overall architecture and business objectives.
