What the job involves

- This role is in the backend development team of the exchange platform that has enabled Binance to become one of the largest crypto-currency exchanges in the world
- You will be tasked with solving the difficult and unique challenges that arise from running a regulated platform with 100s of millions of users and 24/7 availability
- As team scope has grown over the years, we are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer (8+ years of experience) who can also take on some lead duties - managing 2-4 developers on small projects and communicating and collaborating with external teams

Our take
Binance Exchange is one of the fastest and most popular cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world, capable of processing over 1.4 million orders per second. The platform focuses on security, robustness, and execution speed - attracting enthusiasts and professional traders alike.
The Binance exchange provides access to hundreds of digital currency pairs, while maintaining security, liquidity and high-speed. The platform offers some of the lowest trading costs in the industry at 0.1% or even less through the use of Binance Coin.
The exchange strives to give its users access to some of the latest blockchain/DLT technologies, with new cryptocurrencies being listed all the time. However, the arrest of its Co-Founder in 2024 for money laundering laid bare the lack of regulation across the cryptocurrency market in general. Binance has bounced back from the scandal with $2 billion in growth equity funding in 2025, and continues to acquire companies like Sakura Exchange, BitCoin and GOPAX, making it a leader in the Japanese and South Korean crypto market.
