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.
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.

- 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

- 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
