Senior Rust Engineer (Perp DEX/ Solana)

Open 63d reposted 8× · 8 open copies

We are representing a leading force in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, specifically operating within the high-performance Solana ecosystem.

Core Responsibilities

  • Design and implement core exchange logic and smart contracts in Rust, tailored for high-throughput execution.
  • Develop and refine sophisticated funding rate mechanisms to ensure market stability and balanced open interest.
  • Build robust on-chain infrastructure, including Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and hybrid liquidity models that bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain depth.
  • Architect margin systems, liquidation engines, and real-time risk management logic; perform rigorous audits of critical code paths for security and efficiency.
  • Act as the bridge between research and production, converting complex economic models and market microstructure theory into performant smart contract logic.
  • Optimize protocol execution specifically for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), navigating unique runtime constraints and parallelization opportunities.

Technical Profile

  • Expert-level Rust skills with a focus on memory safety, concurrency, and performance optimization.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with Solana and the SVM. You should be comfortable building production-grade programs (with or without the Anchor framework).
  • A proven track record of shipping decentralized protocols (Perpetuals, DEXs, or Yield Aggregators).
  • Strong command of derivatives mechanics, perpetual futures, and exchange economics.
  • The ability to anticipate how protocol-level changes affect market participants, liquidity providers, and overall system solvency.
