Summary
This growing crypto trading firm has seen strong growth over the last 4-5 years, with returns consistently over 30% and not being adversely affected by the wild swings in crypto success due to their robust and sensible strategies. They are now launching a high priority DeFi trading desk and need a pragmatic lead developer to help architect and scale the DeFi infrastructure from scratch.
Working closely with the founders, you'll own key components of the trading system and, as they scale, you'll help introduce Rust for performance-critical components.
