Tech Lead at Trilitech, powered by TezosOur Team At Trilitech, our mission is to power the Web3 revolution by facilitating the development of cutting-edge solutions on the Tezos blockchain. We specialise in Core Development, Application Development, Tooling & Infrastructure, Developer Experience, and Incubation & Acceleration across three key areas: Culture, Decentralised Finance, and Gaming. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and continue to set new standards in this ever-evolving space.

We encourage you to explore the Tezos and follow us on & to learn more about the project.

The Role

We are looking for someone to come in and lead the development of an exciting new project incubated internally. You will be leading a team of Rust developers to build an innovative decentralised exchange for spot and derivatives trading, from scratch. The project aims to exceed both the standards of traditional-finance market places, and the transparency and autonomy afforded by decentralised systems.

Some of the design goals involve:

- Efficient and low latency trading via central limit order books

- Margin trading taking full advantage of cross-collateralization

- A sophisticated and robust automated risk engine for an autonomous central clearing counterparty

What you’ll need

• Solid work experience at a top investment bank, hedge fund or prop trading firm.
• Strong development skills, ideally in Rust but possibly in other system languages (Go, C#, C++ etc.).
• Experience leading development teams working on complex projects.
• Interest in blockchain-enabled trading.
• Comfortably navigate collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, including product managers and developers.

What you can expect from us

• Flexible hours and a hybrid working environment; work from home and our dog-friendly office in Soho with access to an onsite gym and media room
• Lunch delivered daily in the office (Dishoom, Honi Poke, Salad Kitchen - you name it, we’ve tried it!)
• Expense up to £2700 per annum for subsidised commuter costs
• 30 day working abroad policy
• 25 days paid holiday and an additional day to celebrate your birthday
• Enhanced parental & adoption leave to support you in your journey through parenthood
• We’ll double match your pension contribution (allowing you to contribute up to 5% of your gross salary, with us contributing up to 10%)
• Private medical and travel insurance with AXA from day one, inclusive of mental health support
• Learning and development initiatives to empower you in your career
• Comprehensive life assurance policy of 5x your base salary to provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind
  
  

Why you’ll love it Our cutting-edge projects offer you a chance to lead the way in shaping the future. We are dedicated to keeping your enthusiasm alive by fostering a fulfilling work environment that encourages open conversations and creativity. Collaboration and mutual support is key!

Our commitment to work-life balance ensures you have the time and energy to excel in your role while still enjoying life beyond the office. We offer competitive compensation, an extensive benefits package, and ongoing development opportunities, empowering your personal and professional growth. We’ll chat more about this throughout the interview process.
We believe in hiring great people and granting them the flexibility to work in a way that suits them best. While we establish OKRs, you’ll have the autonomy to determine your approach. Given the incredibly fast rate the blockchain landscape is evolving, embracing a growth mindset and a commitment to continuous learning are integral to our culture. It’s okay not to have all the answers and to engage in research. We’re all human and we provide formal perks to support your ongoing education.
