Design and implement high-throughput Solana smart contracts and core exchange logic in Rust. Build AMMs and hybrid liquidity models, implement funding rate mechanisms, architect margin systems and liquidation engines, perform rigorous audits, translate research/economic models into production, and optimize protocol execution for the Solana Virtual Machine for security and performance.
We are representing a leading force in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, specifically operating within the high-performance Solana ecosystem.
Core Responsibilities- Design and implement core exchange logic and smart contracts in Rust, tailored for high-throughput execution.
- Develop and refine sophisticated funding rate mechanisms to ensure market stability and balanced open interest.
- Build robust on-chain infrastructure, including Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and hybrid liquidity models that bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain depth.
- Architect margin systems, liquidation engines, and real-time risk management logic; perform rigorous audits of critical code paths for security and efficiency.
- Act as the bridge between research and production, converting complex economic models and market microstructure theory into performant smart contract logic.
- Optimize protocol execution specifically for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), navigating unique runtime constraints and parallelization opportunities.
- Expert-level Rust skills with a focus on memory safety, concurrency, and performance optimization.
- Deep, hands-on experience with Solana and the SVM. You should be comfortable building production-grade programs (with or without the Anchor framework).
- A proven track record of shipping decentralized protocols (Perpetuals, DEXs, or Yield Aggregators).
- Strong command of derivatives mechanics, perpetual futures, and exchange economics.
- The ability to anticipate how protocol-level changes affect market participants, liquidity providers, and overall system solvency.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
