Senior Backend Engineer
Tristero
Role Description
Today, if you’re trading onchain, you’re broadcasting your trades to the world before they happen. Sophisticated actors systematically front-run all trades (MEV, stat arb), resulting in most high value trading activity remaining within the confines of centralized exchanges that share all the downsides of the system crypto was meant to replace.
At Tristero, we're building the world's first performant decentralized darkpool, where your trades are private until they clear, and you maintain full autonomy through the entire trade cycle.
What you'll work on:
- High-Performance Matching Engine & Zero-Knowledge Privacy:
- Custom-built, low-latency matching engine that processes orders with microsecond precision.
- Optimizing order matching algorithms and implementing efficient data structures for order books.
- Building zero-knowledge proof systems that hide order details until settlement.
- Handles cross-chain order routing across 15+ EVM chains plus Solana.
- Performance targets: <100ms p99 latency for quote generation and <500ms for order matching.
- Cross-Chain Liquidity Orchestration at Scale:
- Intelligently aggregates across Jupiter (Solana), DEX aggregators, Binance, CCTP, and more.
- Building adaptive pathfinding algorithms that dynamically route orders through optimal liquidity sources.
- Implementing real-time slippage management systems and developing cross-chain settlement protocols.
- Processes complex multi-hop trades with automatic fallback routing.
- Maintains sub-second response times across 10+ blockchain networks.
- Fault-Tolerant Distributed Architecture:
- Microservices architecture includes specialized components for real-time pricing and industry-leading order execution.
- Working on horizontal scaling patterns, implementing circuit breakers and backpressure control.
- Building real-time WebSocket feeds for market data and designing async processing pipelines capable of handling many concurrent orders.
- All systems include comprehensive telemetry, structured logging, and observability.
Qualifications
- 4+ years of professional back-end engineering experience (we’re hiring at multiple seniority levels).
- Strong proficiency with modern back-end systems design.
- Deep understanding of API design, databases, and distributed systems.
- Familiarity with DeFi protocols and crypto infrastructure—or a proven ability to ramp up quickly.
- Strong ownership of your work.
Benefits
- Unlimited PTO.
- Full suite of healthcare options.
- Swag with your name on it.
- High-trust, high-autonomy culture.
