Senior Backend Engineer

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will build the core infrastructure powering a liquidity orchestration and distribution network for tokenized assets. You’ll tackle complex backend systems spanning real-time pricing, routing, inventory management, settlement, and exchange infrastructure across multiple chains and venues. The role combines deep systems engineering with financial market structure, where correctness, performance, and reliability directly affect real-money transactions. You’ll own systems end to end, from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and production operations. Working within a small engineering team, you’ll have significant influence over technical direction and product evolution. This is an opportunity to build financial infrastructure used by institutional counterparties while helping shape the next generation of onchain markets.

• 6+ years of experience building and operating production backend systems, with demonstrated ownership of systems requiring high availability and reliability.
• Proven experience taking systems from 0-to-1 through production hardening and ongoing operation.
• Experience building systems where correctness and reliability have direct financial implications, such as exchange infrastructure, trading, settlement, or comparable financial systems.
• Strong understanding of traditional financial market structure, including central limit order books, batch auctions, RFQs, and related economic, incentive, and technical considerations.
• Strong backend systems design and development skills, with sound judgment around reliability, performance, latency, and scalability.
• Ability to reason about inventory risk, execution quality, pricing decisions, and their commercial implications.
• Experience at a market maker, exchange, trading firm, or similar financial infrastructure environment is a plus.
• Experience with multi-chain infrastructure, particularly inventory or treasury management across blockchain networks, is preferred.
• Familiarity with tokenized assets, stablecoins, or real-world assets is advantageous.
• Understanding of onchain market structures such as AMMs, solver networks, DEX aggregators, and bridges is a plus.
• Ability to read Solidity and understand smart contract interactions, even without direct smart contract development experience.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain technical and pricing decisions to both engineering and commercial stakeholders.
