Mid-Senior DeFi Backend Developer - Remote Opportunity

About the Role

We are seeking a talented Mid-Senior DeFi Backend Developer to join our innovative team at AlgoQuant. This is a fully remote position, allowing you to work from anywhere while contributing to the future of digital asset management. As a DeFi Backend Developer, you will play a crucial role in building core backend systems that bridge on-chain activity with off-chain trading, accounting, and risk management.

What You’ll Do

• Design and operate on-chain monitoring, indexing, and position-state systems across various protocols and chains.
• Build automated execution and integration layers for DeFi protocols, including atomic flows and advanced strategies.
• Implement real-time risk controls, alerts, and guardrails spanning on-chain and off-chain systems.
• Collaborate closely with traders and researchers to align DeFi systems with institutional requirements.
• Contribute to architecture decisions and new DeFi infrastructure initiatives.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Python, with expertise in Rust, C#, or Java for building concurrent, production-grade, latency-sensitive systems.
• Deep understanding of DeFi concepts, including AMMs, liquidity positions, yield strategies, and protocol math.
• Strong execution engineering skills, including transaction lifecycle management and nonce/mempool behavior.
• Experience with production operations using Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability tools.
• Knowledge of multi-chain and cross-chain operations, with a focus on bridging and execution nuances.

Nice to Have

• Experience in Rust, Go, Java, TypeScript, or C++ for performance-critical components.
• Smart contract development or review experience using Solidity, Foundry/Hardhat, or OpenZeppelin patterns.
• Background in trading, risk modeling, or traditional financial systems.
• Experience integrating institutional custody, MPC signing, and policy-driven workflows.

What We Offer

• A remote-first, globally distributed team with strong engineering ownership.
• Direct collaboration with traders and quantitative researchers, minimizing bureaucracy.
• Opportunity to shape the firm’s long-term on-chain strategy through high-impact work.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and resources for professional growth.
• Flexible work arrangements that promote work-life balance.
