Solana Smart Contract Developer

We’re hiring for a team that’s already processing millions of transactions a day on Solana. They’re building core protocol infrastructure and want someone who’s actually shipped production code at scale.

This role is focused on writing Solana programs that handle real user activity. You’ll be building systems like margin engines, DEX logic, bridges, vesting contracts, and making sure they’re performant, efficient, and easy to integrate with the rest of the stack.

If you haven’t deployed to mainnet or your contracts haven’t handled serious traffic, this isn’t the right role.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Writing on-chain Solana programs in Rust (Anchor-based)
• Architecting and optimizing protocol components for high-throughput use cases
• Working across margin systems, vesting, trading infra, and relayer logic
• Reducing CU usage and improving performance
• Collaborating with off-chain teams building indexers, bots, and UI

Requirements

• You’ve deployed Solana programs to mainnet yourself
• Those programs have handled at least 100K real user transactions (ideally more)
• You’ve spent over 50% of the past year actively writing Solana on-chain code
• You’re confident in Rust and understand how to design for low latency and scale
• Experience with DeFi systems, trading logic, or token mechanics

Nice to Have

• CU-level optimization experience
• Bridge or relayer work
• Contributions to active Solana repos

Why This Role

• Real usage, real traction, not just another testnet toy
• Remote-first, no timezone micromanagement
• Team that knows what good looks like and builds fast
