Bags is a Solana Token Launchpad, founded in 2023. In a short time, we’ve become one of the top revenue-generating products in all of crypto. We’re a small team of 5 people building globally distributed, high-performance systems where low latency is everything. Our users span the world, and our infrastructure must perform at scale, reliably, and fast. We’re now hiring a Backend Engineer to help us scale the systems that power Bags. You’ll work with a team that values speed, precision, and ownership—where every engineer has a massive impact.

What You’ll Do
  • Design and build backend services in TypeScript and Rust.

  • Work with Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse to handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads.

  • Build and optimize services that index Solana data using Rust and Carbon.

  • Design APIs and services that are globally performant and reliable.

  • Ensure services are fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable, and secure.

  • Partner with DevOps to ensure smooth deployment and monitoring.

  • Take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to production.

  • Help shape engineering best practices as one of our early hires.

What We’re Looking For
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js (bonus: Rust)

  • Solid understanding of Redis, MongoDB, or ClickHouse.

  • Experience building high-performance, low-latency distributed systems.

  • Familiarity with Solana or other blockchain data systems (Rust + Carbon experience is a plus).

  • Strong background in system design and data modeling.

  • Ability to write clean, efficient, and testable code.

  • High agency and work ethic—this is a startup role that requires ownership and hustle.

Nice-to-Haves
  • Experience with blockchain data pipelines (especially Solana).

  • Familiarity with message queues, streaming systems, or event-driven architectures.

  • Understanding of performance tuning for databases and caching.

  • Prior startup experience where speed and scale were critical.

Why Join Us
  • Build systems that power the top revenue-generating product in crypto.

  • Work on globally distributed, low-latency infrastructure where every millisecond matters.

  • Join a small, elite team where you’ll have an outsized impact.

  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.

  • Remote-friendly with flexible work culture.
