About the Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced blockchain developer to join our team building the next generation of high-performance on-chain trading infrastructure. You will help design and implement a unified trading engine — supporting Perpetuals, Spot, and Prediction Markets under a single margin account — and contribute to ExchangeOS, an infrastructure layer that lets KYC'd institutions and Web3 entities stake to create and operate their own trading venues (DEXs) on top of our chain.
 

What You’ll Be Doing

  1. Design and build a unified account and matching system that supports Perpetuals, Spot, and Prediction Markets — including on-chain order matching, cross-margin validation, settlement, and liquidation/risk engines (ADL, ADL-avoidance, ADL waterfall, ecosystem insurance fund mechanics).
  2. Build and optimize the core components of ExchangeOS: the staking/venue-creation framework that allows KYC-verified institutions and Web3 protocols to launch and operate their own dex on shared infrastructure.
  3. Drive performance engineering across the stack — parallel transaction execution, low-latency order pipelines, and throughput/latency optimization at the engine and chain level.
  4. Track cutting-edge blockchain and trading-system technology (e.g. Hyperliquid, dYdX, other high-performance perp DEX architectures) and apply best practices to our infrastructure.
  5. Partner with product and business teams to translate venue/exchange requirements into technical designs, and provide ongoing technical support.
 

What We Look For In You

  1. Strong proficiency in Rust, with hands-on experience in high-performance, low-latency systems; experience with parallel/concurrent execution engines is a strong plus.
  2. Deep understanding of exchange/matching engine mechanics: order book design, margin systems, liquidation and ADL, settlement, and risk engines — familiarity with perpetual, spot, or prediction market products is a strong plus.
  3. Solid grounding in blockchain fundamentals (consensus, P2P networking, cryptography); experience reading core code of major L1/L2 systems (Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, or high-performance L1s like Hyperliquid/Solana) is a plus but not the primary focus of this role.
  4. Strong systems-performance mindset: profiling, memory/allocator tuning, and designing for sub-millisecond latency at scale.
  5. Excellent teamwork, communication, and logical reasoning skills; genuine passion for trading systems and blockchain technology.
