We're working with a seed-stage Bitcoin infrastructure company backed by some of the biggest names in crypto, fintech, and capital markets. They're building a decentralized exchange layer for Bitcoin, not just wrapping BTC on other chains, but settling natively on Bitcoin itself.
Their mission is to restore financial sovereignty by bringing Bitcoin trading on-chain without relying on centralized custodians. It’s a first-of-its-kind infrastructure play, built from the ground up with performance, security, and real-world usability in mind.
The Role
They’re looking for a Rust backend engineer to join their small,
senior team and take ownership of key systems behind two core products.
You’ll focus on building low-latency, high-throughput systems that power non-custodial trading and support sophisticated market participants like HFTs and market makers, as well as regular users.
Core responsibilities
- Architect and implement performant orderbook and trade-matching systems
- Design distributed account models and reputational mechanisms
- Build robust frameworks for uptime, fault tolerance, and security
- Collaborate on protocol-level design choices and system trade-offs
- Ship features that will help unlock true on-chain BTC liquidity
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience writing production-grade software
- 3+ years building and scaling backend systems
- Strong proficiency in Rust
- Deep interest in Bitcoin and self-custody, maybe you own BTC and care about the problem
- Must be based in the US
Bonus
- Experience with trading systems or exchanges
- Knowledge
