Requirements
• Experience building, deploying, and maintaining SVM smart contracts in production • Deep understanding of Solana and low-level SVM concepts • Thorough understanding of the Solana Virtual Machine architecture and its constraints • Experience building DeFi protocols (lending, trading, yield farming, etc.) • Knowledge of cryptographic principles and blockchain security best practices • Familiarity with Solana Program Library (SPL) and ecosystem tools • Understanding of vault architectures in DeFi contexts • Experience with on-chain security patterns and common vulnerabilities • Solid grasp of financial concepts as they apply to decentralized finance • Problem-solving attitude and ability to work in a fast-paced environment • Track record of creating audited and battle-tested smart contracts • Strong systems engineering fundamentals. You’ve built event-driven architectures, data pipelines, caching layers, and API services that handle high throughput. • You’ve seen production at scale. You’ve lived through systems that scaled past their original design. You know what breaks first, what compromises are temporary, and what shortcuts become permanent regret. • Previous experience building vault protocols on Solana or other blockchains • Contributions to open-source Solana projects • Experience with Anchor framework for Solana development • Knowledge of other blockchain platforms (Ethereum, Near, etc.) for cross-chain compatibility • Familiarity with front-end frameworks for dApp development (React, etc.) • We’re a 35-person team that’s raised $18M at Series A. The infrastructure works — it’s running in production handling billions in TVL — but it was built for the company we were, not the company we’re becoming. We’re transitioning from founder-dependent operations to scalable engineering practices. You’ll be a key part of making that real.
Responsibilities
• Design and develop smart contracts and DeFi protocols on the Solana Virtual Machine • Build and optimize secure vault systems for asset management and yield strategies • Collaborate with security teams to ensure protocols are protected against exploits • Integrate with existing DeFi protocols and establish cross-protocol compatibility • Optimize code for Solana's parallel execution environment • Conduct thorough testing and debugging of smart contracts • Research and implement innovative solutions to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs • Stay current with the latest developments in the Solana ecosystem and DeFi space • Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing
Benefits
• Competitive base salary plus equity. We’re a Series A company heading toward Series B — early enough that your equity is meaningful, late enough that the business is real. • Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience. • If you are in the United States, you may also receive access to comprehensive medical, dental, and life insurance in the US
