Senior Backend Engineer Today, if you're trading onchain, you're broadcasting your trades to the world before they happen. Sophisticated actors systematically front-run all trades (MEV, stat arb), resulting in most high value trading activity remaining within the confines of centralized exchanges that share all the downsides of the system crypto was meant to replace. At Tristero, we're building the world's first performant decentralized darkpool, where your trades are private until they clear, and you maintain full autonomy through the entire trade cycle. What You'll Work OnHigh-Performance Matching Engine & Zero-Knowledge Privacy - At the core of our darkpool lies a custom-built, low-latency matching engine that processes orders with microsecond precision while maintaining cryptographic privacy guarantees. You'll work on optimizing order matching algorithms, implementing efficient data structures for order books, and building zero-knowledge proof systems that hide order details until settlement. Our matching engine handles cross-chain order routing across 15+ EVM chains plus Solana, with strict performance targets:
