The company is fully backed by Ergonia, a crypto-native market-making firm and venture builder with deep experience trading and building on Solana.
We are starting from a deliberately minimal core and iterating rapidly toward a full-featured mainnet exchange. This is a high-ownership role building production systems under aggressive timelines.
What You’ll Work On
You will design and build the core on-chain and backend systems that power a perpetual exchange, with a focus on correctness, performance, and simplicity.
Responsibilities
- Build core exchange logic: markets, users, collateral, fees, order routing
- Implement professional liquidity sources, on-chain matching, margining, liquidation, and risk enforcement
- Help design the end-to-end architecture of a perpetuals exchange
- Ensure on-chain and off-chain systems operate as a cohesive, low-latency stack
- Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and compute efficiency
- Write thorough tests and maintain clear, living documentation
- Improve developer tooling and onboarding experience
- Design, implement, and deploy production-grade Solana smart contracts in Rust
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional software development experience
- Strong Rust proficiency (production experience preferred) or willingness to learn
- Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, async systems)
- Experience with low-latency or performance-sensitive systems
- Familiarity with DeFi, trading systems, or derivatives
- Ownership mindset and comfort working in an early-stage environment
- Strong English communication skills
Bonus Points
- Solana runtime optimizations and CU profiling
- Previous work experience with matching engines, order books, or execution systems
- Perpetuals, margin trading, funding rates, or ADL
- Market-making or trading infrastructure experience
Benefits
- No bureaucracy — just fast shipping and real impact
- High ownership and real impact from day one
- Competitive base + meaningful token/equity upside
- Early team members receive ownership aligned with long-term protocol success
- Fully remote
- IRL meetups and company offsites
