About the Role

As the Senior Market Infrastructure Software Engineer, you’ll be the technical lead behind the software infrastructure that powers efficient DeFi markets. You’ll not only develop and maintain critical systems, but also play a pivotal role in shaping the future of financial markets through your code.

Our current infrastructure already monitors and operates our Morpho vaults (>$80M TVL) while managing corporate funds exposure. We are looking for a talented individual to help evolve it to the next level.

Responsibilities

• Implement rigorous testing, monitoring, and security practices to guarantee the reliability, performance, and resilience of the developed software tools and platforms against potential vulnerabilities and exploits.
• Build tooling and automation to enhance the developer and operational experience.
• Drive and manage ad hoc projects and investigations as necessary.

Our Ideal Candidate

We’re searching for someone with:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Python, including architecture, type systems, testing, and lifecycle management.
• Capacity to read and understand smart contracts and integrate Python code with them.
• Capacity to write production smart contracts as a plus.
• Experience with market infrastructure, whether in TradFi, CeFi, or DeFi.
• Understanding of market making and the differences between Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer.
• An entrepreneurial spirit and mindset; you are a self-starter, driven, and love building.
• Not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.
• Detail-oriented and very rigorous.
• Proactive and autonomous.
• DeFi user.

What’s in it for you

• Be part of an ecosystem that encourages transparency and alignment with open-source methodologies and principles.
• Participate in shaping the next financial markets; your code will move millions on day one.
• Contribute to high-impact projects that will drive the growth of decentralized finance.
