Senior Rust Engineer (Perp DEX/ Solana)

Posted 3/13/2026 · last confirmed live 8/26/2026

We are representing a leading force in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, specifically operating within the high-performance Solana ecosystem.  Core Responsibilities Design and implement core exchange logic and smart contracts in Rust , tailored for high-throughput execution. Develop and refine sophisticated funding rate mechanisms to ensure market stability and balanced open interest. Build robust on-chain infrastructure, including Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and hybrid liquidity models that bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain depth. Architect margin systems, liquidation engines, and real-time risk management logic; perform rigorous audits of critical code paths for security and efficiency. Act as the bridge between research and production, converting complex economic models and market microstructure theory into performant smart contract logic. Optimize protocol execution specifically for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) , navigating unique runtime constraints and parallelization opportunities. Technical Profile Expert-level Rust skills with a focus on memory safety, concurrency, and performance optimization. Deep, hands-on experience with Solana and the SVM . You should be comfortable building production-grade programs (with or without the Anchor framework). A proven track record of shipping decentralized protocols (Perpetuals, DEXs, or Yield Aggregators). Strong command of derivatives mechanics, perpetual futures, and exchange economics. The ability to anticipate how protocol-level changes affect market participants, liquidity providers, and overall system solvency.
