Senior/Lead Software Engineer (Full-Stack, Rust, DeFi) - Crypto Trading Company
Location: Austin, TX
Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000 Base, Total Comp up to $400,000 (with Equity)
Working for a high-growth start‑up in the DeFi trading space, building a next‑generation on‑chain perpetuals trading platform. The focus is on speed, security, and deep liquidity. The company is based in Austin, TX, with plans to expand the team. Small, tight‑knit, 10‑person team with ex‑Coinbase leadership. Token and community launched just two months ago. Already generated $1.3 million in profits .
What You’ll Do:
- Architect and implement performant on‑chain systems, including smart contracts for trading, liquidity, and settlement.
- Design secure, gas‑efficient, and upgradeable contract systems.
- Build backend services for critical functions like order flow, pricing, position data, and funding.
- Integrate index price feeds, oracles, and risk‑management logic.
- Lead technical decisions, code reviews, and help establish best practices for the team.
What We’re Looking For (Must‑Haves)
- Experience: Ideally six years of experience for senior roles, but we are open to exceptional candidates with less experience (down to two or three years) who demonstrate a strong growth potential and track record.
- Technical Stack: Proficiency in Rust is important. Experience working full‑stack with a strong focus on the backend is required. Familiarity with Solidity is also required.
- AI Tool Mastery (Critical Requirement): Professional use of modern AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Anti‑Gravity) is critical . We expect candidates to be highly skilled at leveraging these tools.
- Sector Knowledge: Crypto knowledge is important. Candidates must be familiar with foundational crypto concepts and, ideally, with perpetuals, AMMs, derivatives, or on‑chain trading mechanics.
Why Join This Team?
- Massive Impact: You will be a lead IC, working directly with the founder to architect and build the entire trading system from the ground up.
- Be a Pioneer: Join a profitable company that has already hit key milestones early in its lifecycle.
- Competitive Compensation: Earn a highly competitive package, with total compensation reaching up to $400,000, including equity.
