Helping Web3 & Crypto SaaS companies hire the best talent across Blockchain | Amicus Recruitment | Consistent Consultant

We're working with a seed-stage Bitcoin infrastructure company backed by some of the biggest names in crypto, fintech, and capital markets. They're building a decentralized exchange layer for Bitcoin, not just wrapping BTC on other chains, but settling natively on Bitcoin itself.

Their mission is to restore financial sovereignty by bringing Bitcoin trading on-chain without relying on centralized custodians. It’s a first-of-its-kind infrastructure play, built from the ground up with performance, security, and real-world usability in mind.

The Role

They’re looking for a Rust backend engineer to join their small, senior team and take ownership of key systems behind two core products.

You’ll focus on building low-latency, high-throughput systems that power non-custodial trading and support sophisticated market participants like HFTs and market makers, as well as regular users.

Core responsibilities

Architect and implement performant orderbook and trade-matching systems
Design distributed account models and reputational mechanisms
Build robust frameworks for uptime, fault tolerance, and security
Collaborate on protocol-level design choices and system trade-offs
Ship features that will help unlock true on-chain BTC liquidity

Requirements

3+ years of experience writing production-grade software
3+ years building and scaling backend systems
Strong proficiency in Rust
Deep interest in Bitcoin and self-custody, maybe you own BTC and care about the problem
Must be based in the US

Bonus

Experience with trading systems or exchanges
Knowledge of distributed systems, consensus, or low-level performance optimization
Exposure to zero-knowledge, cryptographic protocols, or Bitcoin Layer 2s

Why this team?

This is a rare opportunity to work on something technically ambitious and mission-aligned. You'll join a lean, technical founding team, work closely with experts in Bitcoin scalability, and ship features that will redefine how BTC is traded on-chain.

If you're a Rust engineer who thrives on complex systems and believes Bitcoin deserves a trustless, permissionless exchange layer, this might be your next move.
