The successful candidate will work directly on Fiet's cutting-edge technology stack to deliver innovative solutions that drive our vision forward.

Key Responsibilities

• Stay abreast of emerging trends in blockchain technology, DeFi, and high-frequency trading to inform system development.
  

Essential Skills and Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: Proven experience or demonstrable capability in developing high-frequency trading systems, blockchain MEV strategies, or related low-latency systems.
• Blockchain Knowledge: Strong understanding of blockchain technology, decentralised exchanges, and DeFi primitives. Familiarity with blockchain data indexers and processing is highly desirable.
• Programming Proficiency: Advanced skills in programming languages such as Python, C++, Rust, or Solidity, with a focus on performance-critical applications.
• Data Analysis: Experience in data analysis and processing, particularly in the context of blockchain or financial systems.
• Learning Agility: Exceptional ability to rapidly learn and adapt to new technologies, frameworks, and concepts in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of delivering innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.
• Alignment with Company Goals: A clear understanding of Fiet's mission to create competitive on-chain markets and support token issuers in DeFi ecosystems.
  

Application Process

To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing your relevant experience and alignment with Fiet's mission, and any supporting evidence (e.g., code samples, project portfolios, or references) that demonstrate your capability to excel in this role. Applications will be rigorously evaluated, and only candidates who can provide compelling evidence of their technical expertise and/or learning agility will be considered.

Please note that we are accepting applications; however, due to the highly specialised nature of this role, the acceptance rate is extremely low.
