Rust Jobs at Tensor

About the Role

You’ll be at the ground floor of scaling Tensor for the next 1 million traders and building the most sophisticated trading infrastructure & platform for NFTs in the world.

You will:

• Ship new products for NFT traders: faster data, more capital efficiency, advanced order types
• Optimize and scale our data pipelines to handle O(1-10K) transactions/second at peak
• Own projects end-to-end: from front-end to backend APIs to data pipelines

You are:

• Excited about web3/crypto/NFTs. We really cannot overstate this - you’ll be joining a team of web3 nerds
• A generalist with 3+ years of experience working on large-scale, data-intensive apps
• Experienced with React, NodeJS, Postgres, Redis, ElasticSearch and/or Docker (if you have experience with other modern stacks that’s totally fine too, as long as you’re a fast learner!)
• Proficient in at least one low-level language (ideally Rust or Go)

Bonus points for:

• Experience scaling data-rich consumer products, APIs & trading infrastructure to millions of users and O(terabytes) data
• Experience building real-time pipelines on AWS (Kafka, Dynamo, SQS, RDS) and services on Kubernetes
• Experience optimizing React apps to handle hundreds of renders per minute
• Strong fundamentals in statistics, math, or quantitative finance
• Good intuition on when to move fast/break things vs when to move carefully

What you’ll get:

• Generous ownership & stake in the company. We’re looking for owners 🤝
• A fast-paced, no-BS environment
• Flexible working hours & hybrid schedule
• Top-of-the-line M3 Macbook Pro and peripherals

Our stack is Rust (protocol) / TypeScript (back-end & front-end), React/NextJS, AWS, Kubernetes and a bunch of distributed data systems (Kafka, RDS/Postgres, ElasticSearch).

Location

We’re remote-first. The founding team is in Toronto, and you’re welcome to join us there, but you don’t have to.
