Small elite team. Deep-tech engineering. Permanent-hackathon energy.
About the Company
Our client is a Web3 engineering studio building next-generation decentralized trading infrastructure — from DEX aggregation and multi-chain indexers to execution logic, trading bots, and on-chain automation.
Already generating 7-figure ARR , the company is fully bootstrapped, profitable, and scaling fast.
The team works in high-ownership mode : fast iterations, zero bureaucracy, and engineers who build end-to-end.
This is a group of Swiss-knife problem solvers where every contribution is visible and meaningful.
Location & Work Mode
Hybrid
- The team spends ~6–7 months per year in Dubai for focused in-person sprints.
- Travel & accommodation during on-site periods are fully covered.
- Remote from Europe works for exceptional engineers who can join us in Dubai a few months per year.
Compensation
Highly competitive package (crypto preferred)Stock options / equity with planned reviewsLong-term partnership, not a short-term contractWhat You’ll Work On
You’ll build and scale decentralized trading systems across several layers :
Backend / Infrastructure
Services & APIs for execution, routing, pricing, risk, and on-chain logicHigh-throughput backend handling large, fast-growing datasetsPerformance tuning, observability, and reliability workDeployments, debugging, and pragmatic DevOpsOn-chain / Smart Contracts
Solidity smart contractsOn-chain data pipelines : indexing, decoding, explorers, mempool insightsIntegrations with DEXs and DeFi protocolsTrading Interfaces
Web trading UIs (React / Next.js)Telegram trading botsRapid prototyping and full ownership of feature lifecyclesWho You Are
A Swiss-knife engineer who enjoys switching between backend, infra, smart contracts, and occasional frontendStrong fundamentals : performance, scalability, data structures, security mindsetAutonomous, fast-moving, allergic to bureaucracyComfortable taking full ownership from spec → code → deploy → iterateYou prefer solving problems end-to-end instead of sitting in a narrow feature laneOur client values depth over years of experience — strong-middle and senior engineers are equally welcome if the technical understanding is real.
