Senior Rust Engineer (Perp DEX/ Solana)

We are representing a leading force in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, specifically operating within the high-performance Solana ecosystem. 

• →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.

• 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.
