Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About Triton One
We specialise in high-end infrastructure services for blockchain ecosystems, including Solana, PythNet, Wormhole, Sui, Eclipse and Monad.
In the past year, we have (among many other things):

• Created and open-sourced key pieces of Solana infrastructure as part of our Yellowstone project:
  • Dragon’s Mouth gRPC for streaming services provides a standardised way to access Solana’s geyser interface
  • Old Faithful, the first full history archive of Solana
  • Jet, the fastest and most fully featured QUIC-based transaction sender
• Built high-performance indexing on Solana in the form of Steamboat for program queries
• Worked together with other ecosystem actors to make the Digital Asset API a production-ready service

In the coming year, we look forward to further developing the Solana RPC stack and building better services for other chains. We’re crypto natives who provide bespoke infrastructure for high frequency trading, DeFi and NFT applications. Join us and help build Web 3.0!

About the Role
We’re looking for experienced software engineers to support various projects.

When you join our team, you’ll help maintain the critical infrastructure and services that enable Triton to massively increase the bandwidth of Solana, while reducing the latency required to interrogate the ledger from genesis to tip.

Requirements:

• Extensive experience programming in Rust with a focus on low-level and backend systems
• Experience in benchmarking, profiling and performance optimisation of Rust-based applications
• Knowledge of and experience in developing for and working in bare metal Linux environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — we speak several languages, but work mostly in English

Preferred skills:

• Experience with and deep understanding of one or more of:
  • high throughput and low-latency networking protocols and architectures (including QUIC, gRPC)
  • Linux subsystems such as XDP, eBPF, cgroups and seccomp
  • high performance database systems and message queues
• Experience working in other languages such as C/C++ and Golang
• Prior experience with Solana or other blockchain infrastructure

Compensation:
We offer competitive compensation based on experience. Payment can be made in several crypto or fiat currencies.

Our interview process:
Our team works hard to build a high-trust, high-transparency environment. You’ll be working directly with team members across all areas of the business and you’ll be driving your own projects, so you must be comfortable taking ownership of your work and outcomes.
For that reason, a successful interview process looks like:

1. A brief screening call with our Business Manager
2. A technical interview with a member of your future team
   1. You should be comfortable discussing technical challenges during this process
