- Trading and financial market experience
- EVM experience preferred but not required. Most of the pricing team joined 0x without prior EVM experience
- Production Rust experience
- High Degen Score
What the job involves
- Design high performance systems for ingesting price updates across dozens of market makers across multiple blockchains
- Scale our architectures to handle thousands of requests per second
- Build self healing software in order to vastly reduce manual intervention when things go wrong
- Work with our PMs to design improvements to the Market Maker experience such that we can continue to onboard the world’s best Market Makers
- Live and breathe performance, reliability and making lives better for customers
- Own entire features from specification to shipping
- Stay up to date with the nascent and rapidly evolving blockchain space. Developers at 0x frequently learn about and utilize new projects/EIPs to offer better UX, security, prices, and performance
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams, including engineering (internal and external), design, research, data science, product management, executive leadership, and recruiting
- Be a steward and influencer of our engineering culture: focusing on simplicity, maintainability, and performance
- RFQ delivers elite pricing to end users by allowing Market Makers to provide liquidity in real time. By integrating RFQ directly into 0x’s pricing stack, we offer lower latencies and better gas efficiency to our users
- As a member of 0x’s RFQ team, you will be focused on scaling our systems to ingest price updates from market makers at rapid speeds, while serving traffic that can handle many thousands of requests per second
- You will also be focused on improving the market maker experience of providing liquidity on 0x RFQ, which requires a strong customer focus
Our take
0x had its beginnings as a decentralized crypto exchange before its founders noticed a problem - while the apps built to facilitate crypto trading were functional, the user experience was usually terrible. 0x changed to become a decentralized exchange protocol instead, and provides a suite of APIs and tools so developers can build decentralized apps capable of competing with the likes of PayPal or Stripe for ease of use and functionality.
0x's product has wide appeal in the Web3 space and has grown a strong customer base including the likes of Coinbase, Robinhood and Polygon, and has a trading volume exceeding $125 billion. Having raised a large amount of capital in a 2022 funding round, it is focusing on expanding its team as well as its product range. While the crypto world is currently subject to intense volatility, 0x is enabling businesses to build apps and products that make the market more navigable. This will go a long way towards improving trust and stability in the sector.
