Design and build ultra-low latency, high-throughput backend services and off-chain infrastructure for real-time trading on Solana. Optimize engine latency and throughput, lead greenfield system design, implement monitoring and observability, collaborate with quants and smart contract engineers, and mentor junior engineers to uphold high engineering standards.
We are representing a leading force in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, specifically operating within the high-performance Solana ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop ultra-low latency, high-throughput backend services and off-chain infrastructure to support real-time trading and order matching.
- Analyze and refine engine latency and throughput to ensure top-of-block execution for mission-critical trading bots and settlement services.
- Spearhead the technical design of greenfield projects, utilizing modern best practices to build resilient, distributed systems.
- Implement robust monitoring, observability, and automation tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure 24/7 uptime in a high-stakes environment.
- Partner closely with quant researchers, smart contract engineers, and product managers to translate complex trading requirements into scalable software solutions.
- Drive high engineering standards through rigorous code reviews, documentation, and mentoring junior members of the engineering team.
- 5+ years of professional experience in backend development, specifically focused on high-performance distributed systems; at least 1-2 years of experience in Smart Contract development.
- Deep expertise in Rust or Go (or strong experience in Java/C++ with a willingness to master Rust).
- Proven track record building or maintaining electronic trading systems, order management systems, or exchange infrastructure.
- Solid understanding of multithreading, memory management, and performance tuning for low-latency environments.
- Proficient with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), message brokers (Kafka, Redis), and relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL).
- Familiarity with blockchain concepts, though direct Solana experience is a plus, a passion for decentralized finance is essential.
- Understanding of perpetual futures, margin trading, and complex derivatives products is nice to have.
- Fluency in English is required.

What you need to know about the Sydney Tech Scene
From opera to comedy shows, the Sydney Opera House hosts more than 1,600 performances a year, yet its entertainment sector isn't the only one taking center stage. The city's tech sector has earned a reputation as one of the fastest-growing in the region. More specifically, its IT sector stands out as the country's third-largest, growing at twice the rate of overall employment in the past decade as businesses continue to digitize their operations to stay competitive.
