Junior Web3 DeFi Software Engineer

Some engineers read about DeFi. 

Others build it.
If you’ve ever wanted to step into DeFi and grow fast, this is your moment.

 

About Us

We are a next-generation trading and on-chain execution firm that develops and deploys high-frequency, arbitrage, and market-making strategies across CEXs and DEXs, working closely with token projects to ensure liquidity, fairness, and efficiency.

 

We believe in learning by building, working in small elite teams, and giving talented people the space to grow beyond their current level.

 

Our culture is builder-first: engineers here don’t just execute — they design systems, influence strategy, and see their work operate live in markets.

 

About the Role

You’ll join our core engineering team to design, build, and optimize smart contract systems and backend components for next-generation DeFi protocols.
Depending on your level, you’ll:

  • Contribute to protocol architecture and product design;
  • Implement Solana-based (or similar) smart contracts and backend services in Rust;
  • Work closely with researchers, product designers, and founders;
  • Learn, experiment, and push the boundaries of what’s possible on-chain.

This role can fit junior – because what matters most is talent, drive, and ability to learn.
If you’re strong and fast-learning, we’ll help you become world-class.

 

Responsibilities

  • Write clean, efficient, and secure Rust code for smart contracts and backend services;
  • Participate in architectural and code reviews;
  • Analyze and optimize on-chain performance;
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship new features;
  • Research new blockchain standards, tokenomics models, and emerging DeFi primitives;
  • Continuously improve code quality and internal tools.

 

Requirements

Must-have:

  • Strong programming fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, async, memory, etc.);
  • Curiosity about DeFi or blockchain systems;
  • Willingness to learn and iterate fast;
  • Clear, structured thinking and communication.

 

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with Solana, Ethereum, or any L1/L2 blockchain;
  • Knowledge of smart contract security and DeFi protocols;
  • Experience with Rust, C/C++;
  • Contribution to open-source projects.

 

What We Offer

  • Real ownership and influence on what you build;
  • Mentorship from experienced Rust and DeFi developers;
  • Access to high-level projects with real impact;
  • Competitive compensation (based on level and contribution);
  • Long-term growth path – from builder to architect, from contributor to leader.
  • Remote-first, flexible schedule, high-trust culture.

 

How to Apply

We don’t ask for great CVs or endless experience lists.
What matters most is how you think and learn.

 

Our process is simple:

  1. fixed time 2-hours test – built to reveal how you reason, solve problems, and learn new patterns.
  2. 1-hour call – to discuss your results and how you approach challenges.
  3. Meet with C-level – to explore how we can grow together.

 

You’ll get your test results too, so you’ll better understand your own strengths – a real win-win.
