Solana PERP DEX: Superis Labs - Software Engineer, Backend

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

- 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

- Market-making or trading infrastructure experience

Benefits

- No bureaucracy — just fast shipping and real impact
