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. Real programs. Real users. Real volume. What You'll Do Design, build, and deploy production-grade Solana programs (SVM) Optimize for performance, compute efficiency, and security Architect complex on-chain logic (DEX, bonding curves, staking, vaults, token mechanics) 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 Strong 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: Token programs DeFi mechanics On-chain state design 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 Environment High-performance startup Remote, async, execution-driven Small team, high ownership Direct impact on core protocol architecture
