We’re building high-performance on-chain infrastructure on Solana — and we’re looking for a top-tier Rust engineer who has already shipped production smart contracts.

What You’ll Do

- Design, build, and deploy production-grade Solana programs (SVM)
- Optimize for performance, compute efficiency, and security
- 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
- Robust 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:




- DeFi mechanics
- 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
- You’ve seen what fails in production
- You move fast without breaking core logic
- You want to build category-defining infrastructure
- High-performance startup
- Remote, async, execution-driven
- Small team, high ownership
- Direct impact on core protocol architecture
