# Solana PERP DEX: Superis Labs - Software Engineer, Backend

> Ergonia · London, United Kingdom (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-01-13

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

Superis Labs is building a high-performance perpetual futures DEX on Solana. The first production MVP is underway, and early team members will define core architecture and protocol design.

The company is fully backed by [Ergonia](https://www.ergonia.io/), a crypto-native market-making firm and venture builder with deep experience trading and building on Solana. 

We are starting from a deliberately minimal core and iterating rapidly toward a full-featured mainnet exchange. This is a high-ownership role building production systems under aggressive timelines.

**What You’ll Work On**

You will design and build the core on-chain and backend systems that power a perpetual exchange, with a focus on correctness, performance, and simplicity.

**Responsibilities**

-   Build core exchange logic: markets, users, collateral, fees, order routing
-   Implement professional liquidity sources, on-chain matching, margining, liquidation, and risk enforcement
-   Help design the end-to-end architecture of a perpetuals exchange
-   Ensure on-chain and off-chain systems operate as a cohesive, low-latency stack
-   Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and compute efficiency
-   Write thorough tests and maintain clear, living documentation
-   Improve developer tooling and onboarding experience
-   Design, implement, and deploy production-grade Solana smart contracts in Rust

## Requirements

-   3+ years of professional software development experience
-   Strong Rust proficiency (production experience preferred) or willingness to learn
-   Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, async systems)
-   Experience with low-latency or performance-sensitive systems
-   Familiarity with DeFi, trading systems, or derivatives
-   Ownership mindset and comfort working in an early-stage environment
-   Strong English communication skills

**Bonus Points**

-   Solana runtime optimizations and CU profiling
-   Previous work experience with matching engines, order books, or execution systems
-   Perpetuals, margin trading, funding rates, or ADL
-   Market-making or trading infrastructure experience

## Benefits

-   No bureaucracy — just fast shipping and real impact
-   High ownership and real impact from day one
-   Competitive base + meaningful token/equity upside
-   Early team members receive ownership aligned with long-term protocol success
-   Fully remote
-   IRL meetups and company offsites
