Skills
Ergonia is a crypto-native market‑making and venture‑building firm with deep roots in trading and infrastructure on Solana. We are one of the largest and most sophisticated participants in the ecosystem and now we’re building a next‑generation perp DEX on Solana.
We’re looking for a CTO, a high‑conviction, technical leader who thrives in the trenches, building and scaling protocol architecture from zero to one. You’ll help shape the next evolution of decentralized trading with a team deeply embedded in Solana’s market, liquidity, and infrastructure landscape.
- Define, own, and evolve the end‑to‑end technical vision for a next‑generation perpetual DEX on Solana.
- Architect and build core protocol components, including smart contracts, matching and risk engines, and off‑chain infrastructure.
- Ensure performance, security, and scalability through strong system design and robust engineering practices.
- Drive the product from concept to mainnet: MVP build, audits, deployment, and iterative scaling.
- Collaborate with product, trading, and design teams to rapidly experiment, refine, and deliver features that achieve product‑market fit.
- Integrate seamlessly with key Solana ecosystem partners: oracles, liquidity providers, and tooling protocols.
- Stay ahead of advancements in Solana, DeFi infrastructure, and performance engineering.
- Lead RâD on liquidity models, execution architecture, and risk systems that push the limits of decentralized trading.
- Engage with open‑source contributors, auditors, and the broader Solana community to strengthen the protocol and brand.
- Proven experience as CTO, Technical Co‑Founder, or Lead Engineer in DeFi, trading, or high‑performance fintech.
- Deep understanding of Solana architecture, Rust, and smart contract design.
- Experience building low‑latency trading systems or DeFi protocols.
- Strong grasp of DeFi market structure, perpetuals, and liquidity mechanics.
- Demonstrated ability to hire, scale, and lead high‑performing technical teams.
- High integrity, deep technical curiosity, and passion for building at the edge of decentralized finance.
- Prior experience launching or contributing to a DEX, perpetual protocol, or trading platform.
- Familiarity with MEV, orderbook‑based architectures, or risk engines.
- Contributions to open‑source projects or public technical work in the Solana ecosystem.
- Competitive equity and token package.
- Opportunity to shape a flagship Solana‑native DEX from inception.
- Deep backing from a leading trading firm with Solana‑native infrastructure and venture‑building team support.
