The Role
Design and build core on-chain and backend systems for a perpetual futures DEX, focusing on performance and simplicity. Responsibilities include implementing exchange logic and optimizing systems for efficiency.
Summary Generated by Built In

Superis Labs is building a high-performance perpetual futures DEX on Solana. The first production MVP is underway, and early team members will define core architecture and protocol design.

The company is fully backed by Ergonia, a crypto-native market-making firm and venture builder with deep experience trading and building on Solana. 

We are starting from a deliberately minimal core and iterating rapidly toward a full-featured mainnet exchange. This is a high-ownership role building production systems under aggressive timelines.

What You’ll Work On

You will design and build the core on-chain and backend systems that power a perpetual exchange, with a focus on correctness, performance, and simplicity.

Responsibilities

  • Build core exchange logic: markets, users, collateral, fees, order routing
  • Implement professional liquidity sources, on-chain matching, margining, liquidation, and risk enforcement
  • Help design the end-to-end architecture of a perpetuals exchange
  • Ensure on-chain and off-chain systems operate as a cohesive, low-latency stack
  • Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and compute efficiency
  • Write thorough tests and maintain clear, living documentation
  • Improve developer tooling and onboarding experience
  • Design, implement, and deploy production-grade Solana smart contracts in Rust

Requirements
  • 3+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong Rust proficiency (production experience preferred) or willingness to learn
  • Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, async systems)
  • Experience with low-latency or performance-sensitive systems
  • Familiarity with DeFi, trading systems, or derivatives
  • Ownership mindset and comfort working in an early-stage environment
  • Strong English communication skills

Bonus Points

  • Solana runtime optimizations and CU profiling
  • Previous work experience with matching engines, order books, or execution systems
  • Perpetuals, margin trading, funding rates, or ADL
  • Market-making or trading infrastructure experience

Benefits
  • No bureaucracy — just fast shipping and real impact
  • High ownership and real impact from day one
  • Competitive base + meaningful token/equity upside
  • Early team members receive ownership aligned with long-term protocol success
  • Fully remote
  • IRL meetups and company offsites
