About the role
Location: Remote
Compensation: $130k – $250k USD base (We're hiring from junior to staff level)
Today, if you’re trading onchain, you’re broadcasting your trades to the world before they happen. Sophisticated actors systematically front-run all trades (MEV, stat arb), resulting in most high value trading activity remaining within the confines of centralized exchanges that share all the downsides of the system crypto was meant to replace.
At Tristero, we're building the world's first performant decentralized darkpool, where your trades are private until they clear, and you maintain full autonomy through the entire trade cycle.
In terms of compensation and agency, the sky is the limit: deliver, and we’ll make sure you feel appreciated.
What you'll work on:
- A low-latency, horizontally scalable decentralized exchange core (matching/execution engine, settlement adapters, swap primitives) with strict performance and consistency targets.
- Our cross-chain liquidity orchestration layer: integrate AMMs, lending protocols, bridges, and external liquidity sources with adaptive pathfinding, slippage management, and dynamic routing.
- High-throughput, fault-tolerant APIs and internal services for front-ends, partners, and ops, including real-time market feeds, authenticated trading endpoints, rate limiting, and resilience patterns.
- Diagnosing and removing scaling bottlenecks in infrastructure, streaming ingestion, execution logic, and state synchronization using telemetry, backpressure control, sharding/partitioning strategies, and asynchronous architectures.
What we expect:
- 2+ years of professional back-end engineering experience (we’re hiring at multiple seniority levels)
- Strong proficiency with modern back-end systems design
- Deep understanding of API design, databases, and distributed systems
- Familiarity with DeFi protocols and crypto infrastructure—or a proven ability to ramp up quickly
- Strong ownership over your work
What we offer:
- Competitive compensation + equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Quarterly offsites
- A high-trust, high-autonomy culture
If you’re looking to work hard and see the best results of your career, Tristero may be the place for you. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
