What You’ll Do
You’ll design, build, and maintain on-chain programs that operate under heavy real-world load. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and immediate impact.
- Design and implement high-performance Solana programs in Rust that handle significant transaction volume
- Reason carefully about program correctness, security, and upgradeability in a production environment
- Optimise compute usage, account layouts, and transaction flows for latency and throughput
- Work closely with backend and frontend engineers to design clean on-chain / off-chain boundaries
- Debug, test, and ship changes that go live quickly and are used by hundreds of thousands of users
- Participate in design discussions around protocol changes, economic mechanics, and system constraints
- Own programs end to end: from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
Who You Are
- Highly experienced engineer who has deployed production smart contracts or on-chain programs that operate at meaningful scale, with real users, sustained volume, and operational constraints
- Understand that building at scale is different from deploying isolated contracts - you’ve dealt with performance bottlenecks, edge cases, and real-world failure modes
- Thoughtful about security, adversarial environments, and long-term maintainability
- Able to work independently, take ownership, and make sound technical decisions with incomplete information
- Motivated by operating real systems at scale
What It's Like to Work Here
- We work in person
- Hours can be long and unconventional
- The pace is intense
- Expectations are high, and impact is immediate
