Winnipeg, MB, Canada Apeing DEX Full-time

We’re building high-performance on-chain infrastructure on Solana — and we’re looking for a top-tier Rust engineer who has already shipped production smart contracts.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade Solana programs (SVM)
  • Optimize for performance, compute efficiency, and security
  • Write clean, auditable Rust with long-term maintainability in mind
  • Lead contract design decisions from first principles
  • Work closely with backend + frontend engineers to ship fully integrated systems
  • Review, refactor, and harden existing contracts
  • Prepare codebases for external audits

You Must Have

  • Deep expertise in Rust
  • Strong experience with Solana (Anchor + native programs)
  • Shipped at least one production protocol or smart contract system
  • Experience handling:
  • PDAs
  • CPI calls
  • Account serialization
  • Compute optimization
  • Security patterns
  • Solid understanding of:
  • DeFi mechanics
  • Experience debugging mainnet issues under pressure

Bonus Points

  • Built or contributed to:
  • DEXs
  • Perps protocols
  • MEV-aware systems
  • High-frequency trading infra
  • Experience with security audits
  • Knowledge of validator architecture / RPC optimization
  • Performance tuning at the byte level

What We Care About

  • You think from first principles
  • You optimize for speed + security
  • You’ve seen what fails in production
  • You move fast without breaking core logic
  • You want to build category-defining infrastructure
  • High-performance startup
  • Remote, async, execution-driven
  • Small team, high ownership
  • Direct impact on core protocol architecture
