A bit about us:

Venture backed DeFi startup is hiring for a protocol software engineer! This startup is building marketplaces that increase the efficiency and liquidity in decentralized markets as the first protocol to power decentralized order flow markets. They are the first movers working on an incredibly important unsolved problem in DeFi and their team background is well-poised for solving that problem quickly and correctly, with backgrounds in high-frequency trading, financial markets, and FAANG tech at companies. They are committed to bringing the same levels of market sophistication seen in traditional markets to decentralized markets in order to enable the next wave of crypto adoption through building beautifully designed decentralized software and crypto user experiences.

They are building a fairer, and more transparent platform for retail investors to invest their assets, as well as novel financial primitives for market makers to trade with. The Core Protocol Software Engineer role would involve helping building and maintaining these new market mechanisms that will power the future of decentralized finance.
