Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About Nodeworthy
Our client is on a mission to aggregate the entire crypto ecosystem and building a leading decentralized platform and one of the largest communities in the space. With billions in daily trading volume processed, security remains their highest priority.

They are committed to delivering secure, high-performance infrastructure that empowers both users and partners in the fast-moving world of blockchain technology.

About the Role
We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Rust Engineer to join our core routing team. You will be at the heart of the platform, building and optimizing the high-performance routing engine that underpins Solana’s trading ecosystem. This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence the performance, scalability, and reliability of critical Web3 infrastructure.

If you are passionate about Rust, complex graph algorithms, and performance engineering, and you thrive in environments where micro-optimizations can make a measurable difference, this role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge decentralized finance technology.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement graph algorithms to power the routing engine and discover optimal swap routes across liquidity sources.
• Build, maintain, and optimize robust, production-grade Rust code for high-throughput, low-latency environments.
• Profile and analyze performance bottlenecks, implementing micro-optimizations to improve speed and efficiency.
• Collaborate with other engineers to research and integrate new routing strategies and DeFi protocols.
• Ensure code quality, testing, and monitoring standards for maximum system reliability and accuracy.

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of experience writing production-level Rust code, with deep knowledge of Rust’s idioms, memory management, and concurrency patterns.
• Strong background in graph algorithms (e.g., Dijkstra’s, Bellman-Ford, flow networks) and data structures.
• Hands-on experience with performance profiling tools (e.g., perf, flamegraph) and code-level micro-optimizations.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze complex systems and design efficient solutions.

The following would be nice to have:

• Familiarity with blockchain concepts, smart contracts, and the DeFi ecosystem.
• Experience building on or interacting with the Solana blockchain.
• Background in high-frequency trading (HFT) or game engine development with a focus on low-latency systems.
