Senior Software Engineer (Solvers)

Senior Software Engineer (Solvers)

Location: CET +/- 4

Remote | Full-time

Compensation: $160K - $180K

Our client is a pioneering technology laboratory developing advanced intent-based infrastructure to enable seamless cross-chain interactions. By connecting AI, services, and financial applications, the organization designs intent-driven liquidity layers where smart contracts and decentralized agents interact in real-time. With a core focus on AI, cryptography, and decentralized finance (DeFi), the team is redefining the architecture of cross-chain execution.

The Senior Software Engineer (Solvers) will architect and guide the development of the Solver network—the critical infrastructure powering the ecosystem. This role involves leading engineering design, enhancing performance and reliability, and building the next generation of intent-powered execution frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect the Solver Framework: Design the algorithms, execution strategies, and infrastructure required for solver competition, quote aggregation, and intent-ready execution workflows.
• Lead Technical Excellence: Drive high-impact architectural decisions and uphold rigorous engineering standards through deep code and design reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product, research, and ecosystem stakeholders to ensure Solver capabilities align with the broader technical roadmap.
• Optimize Performance at Scale: Ensure low-latency and high-throughput execution across multiple chains and decentralized environments.
• Develop Solver Economics: Shape incentive structures, competition mechanisms, and cryptoeconomic models to foster and sustain participation within the network.
• Hands-on Technical Leadership: Balance high-level architectural oversight with active coding, prototyping, and resolving complex technical challenges in real-time.
