They are looking for a Senior Solana Developer to join our blockchain engineering team and help build the next generation of regulated digital securities infrastructure. You will work on complex Solana programs, cross-chain integrations, and Token-2022 implementations — with a direct impact on how institutional-grade financial products live on-chain.

What you will do:

• Design, develop, test, and deploy Solana programs using Anchor and native Rust

• Build and maintain Token-2022 integrations, including transfer hooks, non-transferable tokens, permanent delegation, and interest-bearing token extensions

• Implement and manage cross-chain bridges and messaging using Wormhole or similar interoperability protocols

• Develop and integrate SPL token programs, including ACL-gated on/off ramp flows and compliance-aware mint/burn mechanics

• Architect PDA-based systems for registries, whitelists, multisig, and permissioned account management

• Write robust unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews and audit preparation

• Collaborate with backend engineers to expose Solana program interfaces via Node.js / TypeScript services

• Contribute to technical design documents, architecture definitions, and Jira story scoping

• Work independently, proactively identify improvements in code quality and team processes

• Interact with product and commercial teams to translate requirements into technical designs

Requirements for the position:

Core Solana Expertise

• 5+ years of software development experience, with at least 2 years focused on Solana program development

• Deep understanding of Solana's account model, PDA derivation, CPI patterns, and rent exemption mechanics

• Hands-on experience with Anchor framework: account validation, constraints, IDL generation, and program upgrades

• Solid knowledge of SPL Token and Token-2022, including token extensions (transfer hooks, reallocation, metadata pointer)

• Experience with durable nonces, Address Lookup Tables (ALTs), and compute budget optimization

• Familiarity with Solana's transaction lifecycle, priority fees, and congestion handling strategies

• Experience integrating with Wormhole, Jupiter, or similar cross-chain / DeFi protocols

Backend & Full-Stack Skills

• Proficient in TypeScript and Node.js; experience building or consuming REST APIs

• Comfortable writing and maintaining unit tests, end-to-end tests, and coverage reports

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices

• Ability to contribute to technical architecture and design reviews

Soft Skills

• Strong communicator who can bridge blockchain complexity and product requirements

• Team player who is curious, self-driven, and actively follows industry developments

• Experience preparing or contributing to security audit documentation is a plus

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Solidity smart contract development and EVM tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, OpenZeppelin)

• Familiarity with ERC-20 / ERC-721 / ERC-1410 / ERC-4626 / ERC-7540 token standards

• Experience with EVM-compatible chains: Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, or custom EVM networks

• Knowledge of regulated token infrastructure, KYC/AML compliance layers, or digital securities (e.g., DS Protocol / ERC-1400)

• Experience integrating DeFi protocols — lending markets, DEX aggregators, or async vault patterns

• Familiarity with dApp development, wallet management (Phantom, MetaMask, WalletConnect)

• Experience with hardware wallet integrations (Ledger / Trezor) for transaction management

• Exposure to non-EVM chains (SUI, Algorand, Aptos) is a bonus

• NestJS framework experience
