Founding Senior Backend Engineer

ABOUT US

Our team includes builders from Facebook , LinkedIn , Uber and leading crypto projects like Rainbow , Xai , Ex Populus , and thirdweb . We move fast, stay lean, and obsess over shipping real impact not just prototypes.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Founding Senior Backend Engineer to lead the design and development of the backend infrastructure that powers the Button protocol. If the idea of leading development of the next generation of lending and debt protocols purpose built for CLOBs like Hyperliquid motivates you, this role is for you.

It is our belief that the current de facto money markets originally built on Ethereum were imagined for a different era of crypto abilities, beliefs, and users. Environments like Hyperliquid expand the design area of protocols significantly, where the protocol can now tap into liquid perp markets and new yield opportunities.

These new environments create a challenging surface area for the design and implementation of our backend infrastructure. Low latency indexing, large data sets, trading infrastructure, complex offchain keepers - these are all problems we are excited to tackle as we build out our product suite.

In this role, you will lead all backend development for Button, working closely with the CTO to reimagine the next generation of lending and debt markets.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Drive the architecture, technical design, and implementation of Button’s backend infrastructure

• Build and maintain low latency indexing infrastructure (Hyperliquid operates at 70ms block times with full L4 book data, 100GB per day)

• Build and maintain our offline and online data analytic pipelines that power our trading and risk engines

• Contribute to the infrastructure of our trading engine, working closely with our quantitative engineers to bring trading strategies to production

• Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to established coding standards and best practices

QUALIFACTIONS

• 3+ years of experience working on backends interacting with blockchains in production environments

• 5+ years of experience working with a modern backend languages (Go, Rust, Python, etc) in distributed architectures

• Experience working with DeFi products is a plus, but not required

• Experience working with TEEs a plus, but not required
