Software Engineer
Summary
Build and maintain the integration layer between high-performance trading systems and DeFi protocols across multiple blockchains, focusing on EVM and expanding to SVM/BTC.
As a Software Engineer on Tokka Labs’ MEV & Solversteam, you will build and maintain the critical integration layer between our high-performance trading infrastructure and leading DeFi protocols across multiple blockchains.
You will play a key role in expanding our multi-chain capabilities (strong EVM focus, SVM & BTC as pluses), developing robust APIs, and ensuring low-latency, reliable access to DeFi opportunities —directly powering our solvers and market-making strategies in competitive markets.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of blockchain protocol engineering and proprietary trading.
Key Responsibilities:
- Integrate leading DeFi protocols into our internal trading systems and infrastructure.
- Expand and maintain multi-chain support for integrated protocols.
- Design, develop, and maintain robust APIs that enable seamless interaction between protocols and our internal platforms.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and quant teams to deliver reliable, production-grade integrations.
- Optimize for performance, scalability, and reliability across supported chains.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with protocol integrations and API performance.
- Stay at the forefront of emerging DeFi protocols, blockchain ecosystems, and MEV innovations.
Qualifications:
- Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript.
- Solid EVM experience (essential).
- SVM (Solana) and/or Bitcoin experience is a strong plus.
- 2–3+ years of relevant experience in DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, or protocol integration engineering.
- Hands-on experience building production systems that interact with live blockchains and DeFi protocols.
- Strong problem-solving skills and passion for performance optimization.
