Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About the Role
We're looking for skilled software engineers who are excited to build the market data infrastructure driving the future of decentralized finance. In this role, you'll develop backend services, write smart contracts, build developer SDKs, improve tooling and monitoring, and help shape the product itself. Your understanding of the DeFi landscape will be key in spotting opportunities and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

We're hiring engineers at multiple levels of seniority. If you're interested, please apply, and we will adjust the title based on your experience.

About Our Team and Your Role:

• We're a balanced team; half of us are tech-talented people, while the other half excel in forging partnerships with data providers, developers, and the DeFi community - Communication is key in our network-driven approach.
• Work remotely: Our team spans the globe from the US and South America to Europe and Asia, with an optional office in Porto, Portugal. Remote work is our norm.
• English proficiency is essential as it's our medium for team and external developer communication.
• Thrive in a startup environment within the dynamic DeFi space. We value adaptable problem solvers eager to address evolving market needs.
• Write open-source software: Check out our open-source projects on GitHub for a sneak peek into our work.
• User-centric development: Our success hinges on external developers engaging with our solutions—crafting user-friendly APIs and crystal-clear documentation that aligns with developers' needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage in the ideation, creation, and upkeep of both on-chain and off-chain Pyth-related projects, including smart contracts, SDKs, and utility programs.

Requirements:

• At least 4 years of software engineering experience, with a bonus for experience in large-scale, safety-critical systems.
• Smart contract and blockchain development is beneficial but not mandatory. For those without blockchain experience, we like to see backend engineering experience and an understanding of low-level programming languages (such as Rust or C++).
• A zest for fast-paced, startup-like environments, adapting swiftly to the ever-changing DeFi market.
• Keenness to learn or experience with Rust, Solidity, Python, and Typescript.
• Exceptional technical communication skills for diverse interactions within and outside the team.
