Backend Engineer

What you'll work on

• Implement and optimize order matching algorithms with tight latency budgets (<500ms match, <100ms quote gen).
• Work on data structures for real-time order books.
• Integrate and refine zero-knowledge proof systems to maintain cryptographic privacy.

• Contribute to adaptive pathfinding algorithms that route across 15+ EVM chains, Solana, and centralized venues.
• Implement slippage controls, fallback routing, and cross-chain settlement mechanisms.

• Build microservices for market data, execution, and routing.
• Implement async processing pipelines, WebSocket feeds, and Redis-backed stateful services.
• Add telemetry, structured logging, and monitoring to ensure operational visibility.

What we expect

• 2–4 years of backend engineering experience delivering production systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python).
• Experience with API design, relational and in-memory databases, and message queues.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, concurrency control, and fault-tolerance patterns.
• Comfortable reading and reasoning about performance profiles, system metrics, and production logs.
• Interest in blockchain and DeFi—or the ability to rapidly gain deep protocol knowledge.
