Job Description
Senior Software Engineer – Special Projects
Jito Labs
• Design and build core systems for our new product from scratch • Build low-latency, high-reliability services that interact directly with Solana's transaction and block building pipeline • Own critical infrastructure: order routing, execution, real-time market data, and position management • Implement security at every layer, from transaction signing to user data protection • Work closely with the product and infrastructure teams to ship fast and iterate based on real user feedback • Make significant architectural decisions as an early member of the team
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on distributed systems
- Strong systems programming skills. Rust preferred, but deep experience in C/C++, Go, or similar is fine
- Track record building reliable, low-latency systems in production
- Security-first mindset. You think about attack surfaces, key management, and failure modes before writing code
- Familiarity with Solana's runtime, transaction lifecycle, and market microstructure (MEV, block building, execution quality) is a strong plus
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy and incomplete information. This is a 0-to-1 product, not a mature codebase
Benefits
- Above-market total compensation and multiple forms of equity
- 100% employer-paid health benefits
- All-expenses-paid team retreats and conferences
- Weekly meal voucher and other benefits
