Requirements
- 8+ years building distributed backend/infrastructure, with low-latency systems shipped to production.
- Expertise in highly efficient code: algorithms, data structures, time/space complexity, and OS-level performance.
- Deep Solana internals knowledge (validator/TPU, SWQoS, QUIC, shreds, transaction landing).
- Experience in trading / MEV / market-data infrastructure.
- Expert in a systems language: production Rust (or C/C++/Go moving to Rust).
- Expertise in networking and latency tuning (TCP/QUIC, routing, peering, co-location, kernel/NIC tuning).
- Experience with production infrastructure (Linux, bare-metal, GCP/AWS, Kubernetes, IaC).
- Proficiency with PostgreSQL and HA message brokers (RabbitMQ/Kafka).
- Experience owning a complex system's architecture end-to-end.
- English C1+ proficiency.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and write the core low-latency code across Syncro (Rust).
- Cut latency by design: validator submission path, network routing/peering, node co-location, direct QUIC/TPU ingress.
- Cut latency in code: optimal algorithms and data structures, tight time/space complexity, language- and OS-level performance.
- Lead the multi-region rollout on bare-metal and cloud, co-located near client trading venues.
- Eliminate single points of failure with HA and automatic failover.
- Automate safe, self-serve releases; own latency/uptime SLOs, observability, and alerting.
- Set the technical bar through design and code review.
