Tech Lead (Rust / Web3)

About us
We are building a high-load decentralized platform at the intersection of blockchain and fintech: on-chain data indexing, trading automation, and integrations with DeFi and Web3.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend architecture: APIs, queues, indexers, bots/workers for on-chain event processing.
• Develop event-driven architecture with idempotency, exactly-once delivery (transactions + deduplication), outbox/inbox, retries, and DLQ.
• Integrate with Web3/EVM/Solana: read and process events, interact with smart contracts, manage nonces, handle reorg/finality, and multi-chain transactions.
• Work with Subgraph (The Graph): design schemas, implement TypeScript mappings, and optimize blockchain data indexing.
• Develop DeFi integrations: Uniswap v2/v3, AMM pools, pricing, liquidity, routing, slippage/MEV resistance.
• Optimize performance: profile hot paths, migrate critical components to Rust, ensure async/tokio efficiency, manage backpressure.
• Ensure observability and reliability: metrics/traces/logs (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), SLO/SLI tracking, degradation and fallback mechanisms.

• Provide leadership: define technical vision, mentor developers, conduct code reviews, prioritize backlog, and introduce best engineering practices.

   

Requirements

• 5+ years of commercial backend development experience.
• 3+ years in blockchain/DeFi (EVM, Solana, on-chain data, smart contracts, integrations).
• 2+ years in a Tech Lead or Team Lead role.
• Strong Rust experience: async/tokio, network programming, performance profiling.
• Proficiency with queues/events: RabbitMQ/AMQP, delivery guarantees, retries, DLQ, message contracts.
• Experience with Blockchain/DeFi: ABI, events, integration with Solidity and Solana programs, multi-chain interactions.

• Knowledge of Subgraph (The Graph): schema design, mappings, indexing optimization.

   

Nice to have

• Production experience with Rust (tokio, async, tracing), low-level performance profiling.
• Knowledge of Go (CLI/tools), ETL pipelines for on-chain data, DWH (ClickHouse/BigQuery).
• Experience with Layer 2 (Optimism, Arbitrum), cross-chain bridges/protocols.
• Experience with MEV, mempool monitoring, gas optimization.
• Familiarity with Web3 tools: Foundry, Hardhat, Ethers.js, web3.js, Anchor (Solana).
