What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer (Backend) position at ORCA?
Location : Remote
Orca's vision is to build a financial system that puts people first. We envision a future where the majority of global financial transactions are driven by CLAMMs and other Decentralized Finance (DeFi) products. Our ambition reaches beyond becoming the leading provider of financial primitives in crypto-we aim to reshape the foundation of finance itself. We are building the next NASDAQ. If you are someone who is tired of just working another job and wants to build something meaningful, then we invite you to join our team.
As a team of senior engineers, Orca's contributors are comfortable working around the stack but tend to be experts in a particular area. Orca is looking for a like-minded generalist who can specialize in building out our backend services and infrastructure.
What You'll Do
- Design and Implement Scalable Servers in Rust : Build high-performance servers deployed on AWS that interface with the Solana network and Orca's web application.
- Develop Data Processing Pipelines : Create systems for processing blockchain data, focusing on reliability and latency.
- Advance Application Features : Leverage these servers to develop key application features such as real-time monitoring, automated transaction execution, and token balance analytics.
- Manage Database Interactions : Handle data storage and management using PostgreSQL, ensuring data integrity and efficient retrieval.
