Senior Staff Rust Blockchain Developer

Position Overview


We are looking for a Senior Rust Engineer with strong expertise in system architecture and execution engines. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the CLOB execution layer, including the order book, matching engine, and blockchain client logic. This role is highly technical and requires end-to-end ownership of critical components, from architecture to optimization. While you’ll primarily collaborate with a remote team of experienced engineers, there will occasionally be opportunities to work onsite during offsite sessions to support onboarding and enable more efficient collaboration.


Joining at this early stage of development offers a unique opportunity to influence critical technical decisions, achieve career growth, and enjoy competitive compensation.


Key Responsibilities


  • Architect and implement the on-chain order book and matching engine in Rust.
  • Design and extend exchange-specific logic (order execution, risk checks, account/state management).
  • Design and develop protocol-level components, such as state transition logic, consensus, validator interaction, and transaction processing pipelines.
  • Implement integration with oracles, bridges, and external data providers, ensuring correctness and resilience in adversarial conditions.
  • Optimize for low-latency execution, concurrency, and gas efficiency.
  • Conduct benchmarking and stress testing to identify and address potential performance/throughput bottlenecks.
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive suite of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure code reliability and functionality.
Requirements


  • 5+ years of systems programming experience, with 3+ years in Rust.
  • Proven track record building trading platforms, execution engines, or exchanges (DEX or centralized).
  • Contributions to Rust-based L1 protocol projects (e.g., Solana, Cosmos SDK, Substrate).
  • Deep understanding of distributed computing principles, including consensus algorithms, peer-to-peer (P2P) networking, and high-performance data structures.
  • Deep knowledge of decentralized trading models (on-chain order books, AMMs, hybrid architectures).
  • Ability to design and implement complex, production-grade systems independently.
Big Bonus


  • Experience with competitive programming or algorithmic problem solving.
  • Expertise in low-latency design, concurrency, and performance optimization.

What does a Rust developer in web3 do?

A Rust developer in the context of web3 is a programmer who uses the Rust programming language to build applications and tools for the decentralized web, also known as the web3 ecosystem

The specific responsibilities of a Rust developer in web3 may vary depending on the project or organization they are working for, but in general, they would be responsible for writing, testing, and maintaining Rust code that is used to build web3 applications

This could include things like creating smart contracts for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, building tools for interacting with decentralized storage networks, or developing decentralized applications (dApps) for the web3 ecosystem.
