Job description

Overview

We’re looking for someone who’s hungry to own a large part of the codebase at a start up as it takes off. You will have a huge amount of autonomy and be at the center of steering the next crypto unicorn of silicon valley to its potential.

You will be part of an elite, high leverage team building out the protocol and backend that powers the exchange - from node software that indexes Bitcoin and generates transaction proofs, to smart contracts that process billions of dollars of trading volume.

We are building a $1b+ protocol while keeping the team extremely lean (

Responsibilities

  • Own a large part of the codebase across protocol and backend components.
  • Develop node software that indexes Bitcoin and generates transaction proofs.
  • Develop smart contracts that process billions of dollars of trading volume.
  • Collaborate with a lean, high-leverage team to drive product and technical direction.

Qualifications

  • Writing bulletproof Rust code
  • Interacting with blockchains via RPCs
  • Understanding how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana work at a protocol level
  • Using chatGPT / cursor to increase development speed and unblock yourself
  • Bonus points

  • crypto native (self custody crypto and regularly use popular protocols)
  • a high school or college dropout
  • the most locked in person you know
  • How to apply

    To apply, send an email to samee@rift.exchange with :

  • 2-3 sentences on your background + why you’re excited about this
  • links to your portfolio (e.g. personal site, github, links to dapps you’ve built)
  • About Rift

    Today, there’s no way to trade major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana without a middle man. As a result, over 90% of crypto ($12T / yr) is traded on centralized exchanges.

    We solved this by building the first trustless crypto exchange. It uses zero knowledge proofs to allow for peer to peer trading of any 2 assets, with significantly lower fees than centralized exchanges.

    We just raised a seed round from the top fund in crypto and are launching our public mainnet on Base in a few weeks.
