Job Description

• Architect and lead development of high-throughput, low-latency streaming systems that power our core products • Drive the technical roadmap for streaming — including filtered streams, next-generation webhooks, and new capabilities that expand what developers can build on Solana • Lead system design discussions and make architectural decisions across the stack: software, hardware, and networking • Set standards for operational excellence — reliability, incident response, and system observability • Mentor and elevate engineers on the team, and drive technical consensus across engineering, product, and leadership • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Support, and adjacent infrastructure teams to ensure streaming products meet the needs of customers at scale • Identify and solve complex, ambiguous problems that span multiple systems

Job Requirements

  • 8+ years of backend engineering experience with a strong track record building large-scale, production systems
  • Deep proficiency in Rust or an equivalent systems programming language
  • Performance-oriented engineering instincts — you think across the full stack: software, Linux internals, networking, and hardware
  • Hands-on experience with streaming systems such as Kafka, NATS, Flink, or Kinesis
  • Proficiency operating databases in production environments (Postgres, ClickHouse, RocksDB, or similar)
  • Strong operational mindset — you've owned production systems with real customers and know what it takes to keep them running reliably
  • Excellent communication and writing skills; you can drive technical consensus and influence without authority
  • High ownership and urgency — you thrive in fast-moving environments and hold yourself to an exceptional standard.

Benefits

  • High-impact work: Your code will power applications used by millions across the Solana ecosystem, including Coinbase, Jupiter, and Phantom.
  • Serious engineering: Build fast, reliable systems and user experiences across distributed infra, high-throughput backends, and modern frontend stacks.
  • Ownership & growth: Lead critical initiatives, influence architecture and product direction, and take on more responsibility as the company scales.
  • Remote-first flexibility: Work where you're most effective with a flexible, fully distributed team.
  • Competitive comp & perks: Market-leading salary, meaningful equity, generous vacation, wellness budgets, and support for learning and travel.
  • Mission-driven team: Join ambitious builders who move fast, take ownership, and are shaping the future of decentralized apps.
