Job summary

Jito is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build JTX, a next-generation trading application on Solana. This remote role focuses on designing low-latency, high-reliability services and owning critical infrastructure such as order routing, execution, and market data.

You will work with a small, autonomous team, shaping the product from the ground up and delivering a fast, secure, and scalable trading experience for serious on-chain traders.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on distributed systems.
• Strong systems programming skills. Rust preferred, but deep experience in C/C++, Go, or similar is fine
• Track record building reliable, low-latency systems in production
• Security-first mindset. You think about attack surfaces, key management, and failure modes before writing code
• Familiarity with Solana's runtime, transaction lifecycle, and market microstructure (MEV, block building, execution quality) is a strong plus
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy and incomplete information. This is a 0-to-1 product, not a mature codebase

Responsibilities

• Design and build core systems for our new product from scratch
• Build low-latency, high-reliability services that interact directly with Solana's transaction and block building pipeline
• Own critical infrastructure: order routing, execution, real-time market data, and position management
• Implement security at every layer, from transaction signing to user data protection
• Work closely with the product and infrastructure teams to ship fast and iterate based on real user feedback
• Make significant architectural decisions as an early member of the team
