MLabs LTD
Backend Engineer (Hyperliquid Focus) Location: Remote (EMEA Region Only) Type: Full-Time Compensation: €90K - €130K We are hiring on behalf of our client who are on a mission to simplify multi-chain DeFi for financial institutions, fintechs, and service providers. Their team is building a unified infrastructure layer that provides seamless access to on-chain liquidity across all major blockchains, enabling high-performance same-chain and cross-chain swaps. They are a passionate, remote-first team dedicated to making complex decentralized technologies accessible and building a fairer, more transparent world. They are looking for a Backend Developer with a deep interest in the Hyperliquid ecosystem to join their engineering team. This is a pure backend role—no frontend or design work is required. You will focus on building the infrastructure that allows them to distribute programmatic trading features (such as TWAP and perps) to the broader DeFi ecosystem. Location Note: This position is strictly open to candidates currently located in the EMEA region. What you’ll do: - Extend their core API stack to integrate Hyperliquid ecosystem projects and their diverse feature sets. - Collaborate with Product Managers and fellow Backend Engineers to optimize routing, user flows, and system integrations. - Evaluate and propose new opportunities for feature extensions within the decentralized trading space. - Write robust, high-quality code with a focus on high-concurrency scalability and reliability for cross-chain trading. - Actively participate in system design, peer code reviews, and technical documentation.
Job Requirements
- Hyperliquid Expertise: Strong familiarity with Hyperliquid’s architecture, including builder codes (spot/perps), HIP-3, precompiles, and HyperEVM.
- Technical Proficiency: Professional experience building scalable APIs and backend systems using TypeScript.
- DeFi Fundamentals: A solid grasp of orderbook mechanics and experience working with programmatic trading features.
- Backend Focus: A proven track record in backend engineering, specifically with EVM integration patterns.
- Independence: The ability to drive complex integrations and propose new features with minimal oversight in a remote environment.
- Multi-chain Knowledge: Experience with bridges and backend infrastructure supporting multi-chain environments is highly valued.
- Bonus Points:
- Familiarity with Solana or Bitcoin protocols.
- Experience in mobile backend development.
- A portfolio of past projects or self-driven exploration within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Benefits
- Equity Participation: Own a piece of the mission from day one.

- Generous Time Off: 30 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) annually.

- Own It, Do It: They hold themselves to a high bar, make bold decisions, and take full accountability for their work.
- Fail Forward: They encourage experimentation. They try, learn from mistakes, and adapt quickly.
- Lighthearted Collaboration: They take their work seriously, but not themselves. They prioritize getting to know each other and keeping the atmosphere light.
