Solana Perp DEX
Ergonia is a crypto-native market-making and venture-building firm with deep roots in trading and infrastructure on Solana. We are one of the largest and most sophisticated participants in the ecosystem and now we’re building a next-generation perp DEX on Solana.
We’re looking for a CTO, a high-conviction, technical leader who thrives in the trenches, building and scaling protocol architecture from zero to one. You’ll help shape the next evolution of decentralized trading with a team deeply embedded in Solana’s market, liquidity, and infrastructure landscape.
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Define, own, and evolve the end-to-end technical vision for a next-generation perpetual DEX on Solana.
- Architect and build core protocol components, including smart contracts, matching and risk engines, and off-chain infrastructure.
- Ensure performance, security, and scalability through strong system design and robust engineering practices.
Execution & Product Delivery
- Drive the product from concept to mainnet: MVP build, audits, deployment, and iterative scaling.
- Collaborate with product, trading, and design teams to rapidly experiment, refine, and deliver features that achieve product-market fit.
- Integrate seamlessly with key Solana ecosystem partners: oracles, liquidity providers, and tooling protocols.
Innovation & Ecosystem Engagement
- Stay ahead of advancements in Solana, DeFi infrastructure, and performance engineering.
- Lead R&D on liquidity models, execution architecture, and risk systems that push the limits of decentralized trading.
- Engage with open-source contributors, auditors, and the broader Solana community to strengthen the protocol and brand.
Qualifications
- Proven experience as CTO, Technical Co-Founder, or Lead Engineer in DeFi, trading, or high-performance fintech.
- Deep understanding of Solana architecture, Rust, and smart contract design.
- Experience building low-latency trading systems or DeFi protocols.
- Strong grasp of DeFi market structure, perpetuals, and liquidity mechanics.
- Demonstrated ability to hire, scale, and lead high-performing technical teams.
- High integrity, deep technical curiosity, and passion for building at the edge of decentralized finance.
Bonus Points
- Prior experience launching or contributing to a DEX, perpetual protocol, or trading platform.
- Familiarity with MEV, orderbook-based architectures, or risk engines.
- Contributions to open-source projects or public technical work in the Solana ecosystem.
- Competitive equity and token package.
- Opportunity to shape a flagship Solana-native DEX from inception.
- Deep backing from a leading trading firm with Solana-native infrastructure and venture-building team support.
