Note: Applicants must be based in North America. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.

We’re hiring Rust Engineers to help build and scale the backend systems powering a leading Solana infrastructure startup.
You’ll work on distributed, high-performance backend services that support millions of blockchain transactions and directly impact how developers build on Solana.

This is a rare opportunity to join a profitable, well-funded company at the forefront of Web3 infrastructure — working on deep systems challenges rather than speculative crypto projects.

What You’ll Do

Build and maintain backend services in Rust, focused on scalability and performance.
Design and implement distributed, low-latency systems.
Debug, profile, and optimize high-scale infrastructure.
Collaborate with product and frontend teams to deliver features end-to-end.
Contribute to technical design discussions and code reviews.
Implement monitoring, alerting, and security best practices.

Tech Stack

Rust, Distributed Systems, Databases

Why You Should Join

High-Impact Work: Your code powers tools used by the majority of developers on Solana, including some of the biggest names in the ecosystem.
Elite Engineering Team: Work on real distributed systems challenges — latency, throughput, bandwidth optimization.
Profitable & Well-Funded: $34M raised, including a Series B in 2024. 3–5× revenue growth since.
High Agency: Small, technical team (~30 people) with minimal bureaucracy.
Best Entry Point into Crypto Infrastructure: Build core systems, not tokens.

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience building or maintaining production systems.
Strong proficiency in Rust.
Deep understanding of distributed systems and database fundamentals.
Degree in Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics, or a related field.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously.

Bonus Points:

Experience at a reputable Web2 company
Experience at top-tier tech or trading companies (e.g. Cloudflare, Coinbase, Jane Street, Citadel).
Prior remote work experience.
Active GitHub or open-source contributions.
