About Tensor
Tensor is the leading NFT Marketplace on Solana. We’ve done over $600m in total traded volume, given back over $30m to our community, and serve over 300,000 traders every month. What makes us special:
- We’re trader-first 📈 - our product looks and feels like a real financial tool
- We’re the fastest ⚡️ - fastest UI, fastest discovery engine, fastest transaction speeds
- We’re building advanced NFT-Fi primitives 🤯
- We’re product-obsessed 🚢 - go to https://tensor.trade/ and see for yourself!
📈 But do NFTs even matter? Remember that NFTs are so much more than art and profile pictures. They’re an entirely new asset class - digitally native and infinitely diverse. We believe that today, and today only, we have the unique opportunity to define what trading looks like for what probably will be >50% of all digital assets.
We’re backed by Placeholder, Solana Ventures, Alliance, Anatoly Yakovenko & Raj Gokal (co-founders of Solana), and other reputable angels & funds in the crypto space.
About the Role
You’ll be at the ground floor of scaling Tensor for the next 1 million traders and building the most sophisticated trading infrastructure & platform for NFTs in the world. You will:
- Ship new products for NFT traders: faster data, more capital efficiency, advanced order types
- Optimize and scale our data pipelines to handle O(1-10K) transactions/second at peak
- Own projects end-to-end: from front-end to backend APIs to data pipelines
You are:
- Excited about web3/crypto/NFTs. We really cannot overstate this - you’ll be joining a team of web3 nerds
- A generalist with 3+ years of experience working on large-scale, data-intensive apps
- Experienced with React, NodeJS, Postgres, Redis and Docker (if you have experience with other modern stacks that’s totally fine too, as long as you’re a fast learner!)
Bonus points for:
- Experience scaling data-rich consumer products, APIs & trading infrastructure to millions of users and O(terabytes) data
- Experience building real-time pipelines on AWS (Kinesis, Dynamo, SQS, RDS) and services on Kubernetes
- Experience optimizing React apps to handle hundreds of renders per minute
- Strong fundamentals in statistics, math, or quantitative finance
- Good intuition on when to move fast/break things vs when to move carefully
- Proficient in at least one low-level language (ideally Rust or Go)
What you’ll get:
Generous ownership & stake in the company. We’re looking for owners 🤝
- A fast-paced, no-BS environment
- Flexible working hours & hybrid schedule
- Top-of-the-line M3 Macbook Pro and peripherals
Our stack is Rust (protocol) / TypeScript (back-end & front-end), AWS, Kubernetes and a bunch of distributed data systems (Kafka, RDS/Postgres, ElasticSearch).
