About the Role
Take ownership over parts of the Solana stack (Anchor / Pinocchio programs) and parts of the backend exchange infrastructure (Rust).
Youâll work directly on:
- Solana programs that define the foundations of impact markets as a product category
- Backend infrastructure that wraps around the programs to create a robust, reliable and fast exchange product
Youâll work closely with the cofounders [1, 2] with minimal process overhead. The team is mostly remote, with a NY office space available.
You may be a good fit if you:
- Are very comfortable writing production systems in Rust
- Have experience building on Solana (Anchor is a must; Pinocchio a plus)
- Have worked on latency-sensitive, correctness-critical infrastructure or products
- Are comfortable working in an environment with incomplete specifications
- Enjoy thinking about complex problems from scratch
- Are a markets nerd
