We are seeking ‘cracked’ engineers who are not intimidated by complex systems and unfamiliar domains. As a Principal Protocol Engineer at Perena, you will be responsible for designing and improving complex mechanism and incentive designs in decentralized finance. You will engage in systems programming in various languages, work on quantitative modeling and development, and build novel crypto products for DeFi power users and newcomers alike.

What We Look For

  • Highly proficient in Rust or has experience building on Solana

  • Deep understanding of decentralized finance primitives: CLMM swaps, borrow/lend, decentralized stablecoins, tokenized RWAs

  • A good sense of mechanism designs and an eye for polish

  • Product-minded individual who not only knows how to build the thing but also how to build for the customer

  • Maintain a high standard of security, correctness, and thoughtfulness in code development

  • Produce high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code with comprehensive documentation

  • Experience as a front-office quant/developer in trading, or DeFi equivalent (Solana preferred)

What We Want to Know

  • You’ve built something you’re proud of. Explain it to us. Talk about the problems you solved, the things you didn’t know, what you’d add, and more.

  • Show me your favorite dapp and why you think it’s great. How would you improve it? How would you compose it with other products?

  • Talk about your ideal role and past experience.
