Job

Title

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities
  • Architect and implement core components for a greenfield decentralized trading application from the ground up.
  • Construct low‑latency, highly resilient backend services that interface directly with high‑throughput blockchain transaction streams.
  • Take complete ownership of critical infrastructure paths, including smart order routing, trade execution engines, real‑time market data feeds, and portfolio position tracking.
  • Enforce rigorous security standards across all layers, including secure transaction signing protocols, infrastructure deployment, and data protection.
  • Partner with cross‑functional product and infrastructure units to rapidly deploy features and iterate based on live user data.
  • Drive foundational architectural choices, establishing engineering standards for a growing technical team.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a heavy emphasis on distributed systems architecture.
  • Advanced systems programming capabilities, preferably using Rust, though deep expertise in C/C++ or Go is highly acceptable.
  • Demonstrated track record of deploying and maintaining high‑availability, low‑latency production applications.
  • Security‑centric development approach with an intuitive understanding of system vulnerability surfaces, cryptographic key management, and complex failure recovery modes.
  • Ability to execute independently and make sound technical decisions within fast‑paced, fluid startup environments.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior exposure to blockchain runtime environments, transaction life cycles, or decentralized trading infrastructure.
  • Background in exchange engineering, order matching systems, or traditional high‑frequency trading (HFT) platforms.
  • Experience developing core fintech backend architectures, including payment rails, institutional custody, or execution venues.
