Job description

About the Company

In partnership with SBI Group, we aim to bring the majority of Japanese equities on-chain, creating a secure, transparent, and high-performance trading infrastructure. We are building a next-generation decentralized exchange with a fully on-chain order book and a custom state transition function designed for high-performance, low-latency trading.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement the on-chain order book and matching engine in Rust
  • Design and extend exchange-specific logic including order execution, risk checks, and state management
  • Design and develop protocol-level components such as state transition logic, consensus, and transaction processing pipelines
  • Implement integration with oracles, bridges, and external data providers
  • Optimize for low-latency execution, concurrency, and gas efficiency
  • Conduct benchmarking and stress testing to address performance bottlenecks
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive suite of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests

Requirements

  • 5+ years of systems programming experience
  • 3+ years of experience in Rust
  • Proven track record building trading platforms, execution engines, or exchanges
  • Contributions to Rust-based L1 protocol projects such as Solana, Cosmos SDK, or Substrate
  • Deep understanding of distributed computing, consensus algorithms, and P2P networking
  • Deep knowledge of decentralized trading models like on-chain order books or AMMs
  • Ability to design and implement complex, production-grade systems independently

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with competitive programming or algorithmic problem solving
  • Expertise in low-latency design, concurrency, and performance optimization
