ATTN: THIS IS NOT A CHILL GIG, YOU WILL WORK A LOT - IF YOU’RE NOT READY FOR IT, DO NOT APPLY
Velvet | Remote/Hybrid
Velvet is building the fastest, most reliable AI trading platform to trade any asset onchain — and we’re looking for a 10x backend engineer to take it to the next level.
You’ll design and scale core trading systems in Rust, NestJS, and Go, architect event-driven backends with Kafka, and make sure our infra runs like clockwork 24/7. This is not a “maintain what’s there” job — it’s* build, optimize, and own everything that matters.*
What You’ll Do
• Design and scale ultra-low-latency backend systems in Rust, NestJS, and Go
• Architect event-driven pipelines (Kafka or similar) that move data instantly and safely
• Optimize onchain trading infrastructure — nodes, indexers, relayers, RPC tuning, MEV-aware execution
• Own CI/CD, monitoring, and system reliability for mission-critical services
• Experience in monitoring tools like Datadog, Grafana, ELK, New Relic, etc is plus
• Ship constantly. Improve relentlessly
What You Bring
• 3-5+ years of backend experience (TypeScript, Rust, Go)
• Proven track record with high-performance or onchain systems
• Hands-on experience with trading infra, bots, arbitrage systems and blockchain data pipelines
• Deep understanding of APIs, event streams, caching, and performance tuning
• Obsession with clean, testable, and fast code
Who You Are
• You’re resourceful, relentless, and precise.
• You think in microseconds, not milliseconds.
• You don’t wait for specs — you build, test, and ship until it’s perfect.
• You’ll work hard everyday, learn fast, and build something world-class.
• Join Velvet and help create trading infrastructure that never misses an opportunity.
