Job Description

Voici un poste à distance.

A leading provider and Developer of DeFi infrastructure and software, building the next generation of on-chain finance and DeFi liquidity infrastructure on Solana, and offering a dual-protocol system designed to help safeguard traders from major market events for the safety and growth of crypto worldwide.

Their offer tackles current DeFi platforms' reliance on over-collateralized lending, forcing users to lock up liquidity, juggle multiple protocols, and face high liquidation risks.

Their solution enables under-collateralized borrowing, programmable margin accounts, and composable strategies, all through one seamless app. It unlocks capital efficiency, reduces risk, and makes DeFi more accessible and powerful.

• Mentor & scale: Guide future FE hires, review code, and foster engineering excellence.
