Remote Bitcoin Jobs

At Magic Eden, we’re breaking down barriers to make Web3 what it should be — intuitive, accessible and of course, magical. As the #1 Bitcoin dApp and the #1 NFT marketplace, we’re leading the charge to redefine the onchain experience. Backed by top-tier investors like Sequoia, Paradigm, Electric Capital and Lightspeed Ventures, we’re building a future where trading is seamless, tokenomics are meaningful and Magic Eden fulfills its mission of making digital ownership universal. Join our global team of passionate, scrappy and wildly talented people to help shape the next era of Web3 with us.

We’re now looking for an experienced Solana Protocol Engineer who loves NFTs and marketplace infrastructure to help define and scale the Solana side of our ecosystem.

What a typical day may look like:

• Research, design and implement new Solana programs (smart contracts) and improve existing ones using Rust and Anchor.

• Own on-chain/off-chain integration: program interfaces, CPI calls/safety, and transaction-flow optimization.

• Contribute to high-throughput indexing & data pipelines (e.g., custom programs, webhooks, Firehose, gRPC) focused on <10 ms latency and horizontal scalability.

• Collaborate with founders, designers, backend- and frontend-engineers, DevOps and external auditors to deliver secure, reliable code to production on tight timelines.

• Profile, benchmark and tune Solana programs for compute-unit efficiency, account-size minimization and metered concurrency.

What you bring

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience

• 2+ years building on Solana with Rust/Anchor (or other high-performance blockchain runtimes).

• Deep knowledge of Solana’s account model, Sealevel parallel execution, CPI, PDAs, and SPL standards.

• Familiarity with Solana development suites: Anchor, Solana-CLI, Solana-Test-Validator, and simulation/debugging tools such as Solana Playground & Anchor IDLs.

• Experience writing secure, efficient on-chain programs—protecting against privilege-escalation, account-collision, nonce reuse and other Solana-specific attack vectors.

• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript for client SDKs, server integrations, and program tests.

• “Get-things-done” mentality: self-directed, fast learner, comfortable in a 0 → 1 environment.

• Demonstrated open-source contributions to Solana, Anchor, SPL or relevant Rust crypto libraries—and an active GitHub presence showcasing code reviews, RFCs or tool releases.

• Humility to embrace better ideas, eagerness to improve, and openness to new challenges and possibilities.

Bonus points

• Experience with MEV, priority fees, local fee markets or pre-confirmation services on Solana.

• Dev experience with multiple NFT standards

• Past work on multi-chain bridges, cross-chain messaging, or on-chain orderbooks.

• Experience managing Solana validator clusters and/or performance tuning

Open-Source Contribution & Presence

We value engineers who advance the Solana ecosystem through open source. Maintain an active GitHub profile, contribute to Solana/Anchor/SPL repos, author technical blog posts, and speak at meetups or conferences. Mentor junior devs to cultivate an inclusive community, just as we expect from our Solidity counterparts.

Pay & Benefits

• Fast-paced, highly collaborative environment

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Flexible PTO

• Wellness and home-office stipend

• Remote-first culture
