Senior Software Engineer, Pricing

COMPANY

The Role

As a member of 0x’s pricing team, you will be laser focused on delivering the best prices at the fastest speeds. The work is similar to that of an MEV searcher: gas optimization, liquidity discovery, low latency, and integrating with the best AMMs such as Uniswap, Curve, Integral, and Ambient.

As a Software Engineer on the Pricing Team, you will:

• Work with our smart contract engineers to design secure gas optimizations
• Stay abreast with the ecosystem and integrate new AMMs as they attract liquidity
• Optimize the speed of our algorithms
• Work with our research engineers to implement novel pricing algorithms
• Experiment with Reth for faster data indexing

0x BACKEND TECH STACK

• Reth
• Kafka
• Postgres
• Redis
• Kubernetes
• Grafana/Prometheus

• Be a steward and influencer of our engineering culture: focusing on simplicity, maintainability, and performance
