Full Stack Engineer

Position: Senior Full-Stack Engineer — Solana Low-Latency Copy-Trading (Node.js + React)

Level: Senior

Required Hard Skills

• 6+ years of Software Engineering experience
• Strong commercial experience with Node.js
• Strong experience with TypeScript (strict mode)
• Strong experience with React + TypeScript
• Experience with backend frameworks such as Nest.js, Express.js, Koa.js
• Strong understanding of React, including Hooks, Context, rendering behavior, and performance optimization
• Strong experience with state management tools such as Redux, MobX, Zustand, Recoil, or similar
• Strong software design knowledge: OOD, FP, design patterns, SOLID principles
• Practical hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar
• Experience building low-latency, high-throughput, highly concurrent systems (real-time processing, hundreds+ of parallel operations)
• Experience working with external APIs and third-party data providers
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and GraphQL APIs
• Advanced experience with SQL databases, especially PostgreSQL (transactions, locking, idempotency)
• Experience with database performance optimization, indexing, query optimization, and handling large datasets
• Experience with async / batch processing, scheduled jobs, background workers, queues, retries, throttling, and rate-limit handling
• Hands-on experience with job / message queues such as BullMQ, Redis Streams, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS/SNS, or similar
• Experience with Docker and CI/CD processes
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms (GCP, Azure)
• Experience building systems that require data validation, consistency checks, idempotency, and crash-recovery safeguards
• Understanding of trading, fintech, blockchain, or data-intensive financial systems
• Knowledge of Agile development practices, preferably SCRUM
• Proficient understanding of Git

Required Blockchain / Solana / Copy-Trading Experience

• Solid understanding of Solana internals: transactions, instructions, accounts, blocks/slots, commitment levels (processed / confirmed / finalized), blockhash lifetime, and reorg handling
• Hands-on experience with low-latency Solana execution / trading bots — landing transactions competitively (same-slot / “block-0”), priority fees, and MEV-aware submission
• Experience with real-time Solana data streaming: Yellowstone gRPC (Triton Dragon’s Mouth / Helius LaserStream) and/or shred-level feeds such as Jito ShredStream (awareness of DoubleZero Edge a plus)
• Experience with transaction submission & landing infrastructure: Jito (Block Engine / bundles / tips), Helius Sender, SWQoS (stake-weighted QoS), and specialist senders (0slot / Nozomi / bloXroute)
• Experience with blockchain data / RPC providers such as Helius, Triton, QuickNode, Alchemy, or similar, including multi-provider failover and rate-limit handling
• Familiarity with Pump.fun / PumpSwap: bonding-curve mechanics, AMM pricing, and building instructions from an on-chain IDL
• Understanding of trading metrics: entry/exit, market cap, slippage, hit rate, P&L, and per-position / portfolio risk
• Experience with crypto trading platforms, copy-trading systems, DEX / on-chain execution, or wallet automation
• Experience with secure key management at scale (HD wallet derivation, in-memory signing, secrets isolation) and capital-isolation / fail-safe design
• Experience with trading systems, bots, DeFi or high-throughput financial systems strongly preferred.

Would Be Great

• Experience writing performance-critical services in Rust (a native signing / execution hot-path is on the roadmap)
• Experience running leader-proximate bare-metal / colocation (Frankfurt / Amsterdam) and host/network tuning for latency
• Experience with Jito bundles, durable nonces, and transaction idempotency / reconciliation against chain
• Experience integrating CEX withdrawal APIs (Binance / MEXC / KuCoin) for programmatic funding
• Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Sentry, ELK, OpenTelemetry, or similar
• Experience designing systems with fallback providers, retry logic, throttling, circuit breakers, and API-usage monitoring
• Experience building HFT / MEV / market-making or other latency-sensitive financial systems

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain full-stack features for ARES, a private copy-trading bot for the Pump.fun / Solana ecosystem
• Design and implement the block-0 execution engine: real-time target detection, pre-trade gating, and same-slot buy submission across multiple routes
• Integrate low-latency detection (Yellowstone gRPC / Jito ShredStream) and submission (Helius Sender / Jito bundles / SWQoS / specialist senders) with multi-provider failover
• Build the wallet lifecycle & custody layer: provisioning isolated child-wallet pairs per task, funding, profit skimming, and drain-to-vault — under strict capital isolation
• Implement position & exit management (rule-driven take-profit, sell-after-inactivity, chase-sells) and the per-task kill-switch / risk protection
• Implement idempotency, durable intent, and crash / reorg reconciliation so no trade is ever double-executed at scale
• Build the operator dashboard (React): copy-task configuration, live task & health monitoring, controls (pause / resume / kill), and global safety limits
• Construct Pump.fun bonding-curve buys from the live IDL, with graduation gating and pre-trade safety checks
• Design controlled concurrency, batching, throttling, retries, and rate-limit handling to sustain 1,000+ tasks / ~2,000+ wallets
• Optimize the detect → decide → sign → submit → land path to maximize block-0 landing rate (KPI #1) and uptime / failover (KPI #2)
• Implement secure key management (HD derivation, in-memory signing) and secrets handling; enforce fail-safe defaults and an explicit kill switch on every execution path
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and domain stakeholders on trade-offs across latency, cost, and reliability; participate in architecture discussions
• Write clean, secure, maintainable, well-tested code (unit + e2e); conduct code reviews; maintain documentation; support production readiness
• Monitor system reliability, execution latency and landing rate, provider health, and data quality
