Senior Software Engineer (Solvers)

Our client is a pioneering technology laboratory developing advanced intent-based infrastructure to enable seamless cross-chain interactions. The organization focuses on AI, cryptography, and decentralized finance (DeFi) to design intent-driven liquidity layers where smart contracts and decentralized agents interact in real-time.

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with distributed systems, high-performance networking, or large-scale infrastructure.
• Strong familiarity with smart contracts, on-chain execution frameworks, or cryptoeconomics.
• Fluency in TypeScript and Go; experience with Rust is a significant advantage.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor globally distributed engineering teams.
• Exceptional problem-solving and abstraction skills.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, take ownership, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building MEV strategies, solver networks, or competitive auction mechanisms.
• Familiarity with cross-chain messaging protocols or cryptographic signature aggregation.
• Knowledge of AI/ML applications within optimization problems.
• Prior contributions to open-source ecosystems or Web3-native protocols.

• Architect the Solver Framework: Design algorithms, execution strategies, and infrastructure for solver competition, quote aggregation, and intent-ready execution workflows.
• Lead Technical Excellence: Drive architectural decisions and uphold engineering standards through code and design reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product, research, and ecosystem stakeholders to align Solver capabilities with the technical roadmap.
• Optimize Performance at Scale: Ensure low-latency and high-throughput execution across multiple chains and decentralized environments.
• Develop Solver Economics: Shape incentive structures, competition mechanisms, and cryptoeconomic models to sustain network participation.
• Hands-on Technical Leadership: Provide architectural oversight while actively coding, prototyping, and resolving complex technical challenges.
