Founding role
Founding Backend Engineer
You will own the off-chain systems that make the protocol usable and observable.
Role
This includes indexing, APIs, risk dashboards, internal tools, analytics, monitoring, and automated services around the protocol. We will use Rust for backend systems and TypeScript for frontend work. You should be able to build reliable backend systems while understanding enough of the protocol to avoid treating on-chain state as just another database.
You should have
- Proficiency in Rust and TypeScript for backend systems.
- Experience with onchain indexing, RPC, event pipelines, or high-throughput blockchain data.
- Strong database, API, queue, and observability fundamentals.
- Enough DeFi knowledge to understand positions, collateral, PnL, liquidations, funding, and oracle data.
- Taste for correctness and operational reliability.
Strong signal
- You have built production indexers, trading infrastructure, keeper systems, or risk dashboards.
- You can reconcile protocol state precisely.
- You can move fast without producing brittle infrastructure.
