You will own the core protocol.

Role

All Perps needs someone who has built serious onchain systems before and can reason from first principles about markets, collateral, leverage, liquidations, and adversarial behavior. This is not an app-engineering role. You should be comfortable taking a mechanism from research notes to production code without needing every detail spoon-fed.

You should have

• Deep smart contract experience.
• Proficiency in Rust or Golang, plus TypeScript.
• Prior DeFi protocol experience, ideally lending, perps, AMMs, derivatives, or margin systems.
• Ability to reason about solvency, edge cases, oracle risk, and adversarial market behavior.
• Good product judgment: knowing when simplicity is worth more than capital efficiency.

Strong signal

• You have shipped audited protocol code.
• You have worked on systems where bugs can lose money.
• You can challenge mechanism assumptions without turning every discussion into an academic debate.
