Senior Backend Engineer (TypeScript)

Senior Backend Engineer (TypeScript) - fully remote - Eu/Asia time zone

TechShack are working with one of the fastest-growing DEX venues in the market, a profitable, well-funded platform with institutional backing and tens of billions in settled volume.

They're now scaling the engine behind it, and are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to take real ownership of the services that keep markets running.

This is a high-autonomy IC seat for someone who wants their fingerprints on a live trading product used every day. You'll ship features end to end, working directly with the core team and founders. (total team size of around 30).

Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000 base + equity/token upside.

What you'll work on

• Take features from design through implementation, deployment and iteration - you own the outcome, not just the pull request.
• Build the services that move money: trade lifecycle handling, margin and exposure tracking, automated deleveraging paths, rate mechanisms and settlement logic.
• Engineer real-time, event-driven systems - streaming updates, message queues, worker fleets and caching layers that hold up when markets move fast.
• Connect the off-chain world to the chain: contract interactions, transaction orchestration, event ingestion, node providers and data indexing across an EVM L2.
• Ship the internal APIs that power the front end, analytics, operations and risk teams. Interested in remote work opportunities in Development & Programming? Discover Development & Programming Remote Jobs featuring exclusive positions from top companies that offer flexible work arrangements.
• Harden production: drive down latency, tighten fault tolerance, and make reliability and observability first-class citizens.
• Lean on modern AI tooling to move faster across development, debugging and documentation - the team builds this way by default.

What we're looking for

• Senior-level backend experience (roughly 4+ years) shipping production systems people depend on.
• TypeScript and Node.js as your home turf - this is the core of the stack and the bar is high.
• Confident with distributed-systems building blocks: message brokers, in-memory stores, relational and document databases, async workers and caching strategy.
• Genuine Web3 fluency - you know your way around EVM chains, signing and broadcasting transactions, reading contract events, gas behaviour and the realities of on-chain/off-chain coordination. This is non-negotiable.
• Exposure to (or hunger for) derivatives, exchanges, trading platforms or adjacent fintech systems.
• The temperament for a fast-moving startup: you make sound calls without hand-holding and you ship.
• Working hours compatible with EU/Asia overlap.

Nice to have

• Rust for performance-sensitive services. Browse our curated collection of remote jobs across all categories and industries, featuring positions from top companies worldwide.
• Python for scripting, data work or automation.
• Time at a derivatives venue, exchange, market maker or trading-bot/risk/liquidation-engine environment - this is a serious differentiator here.
• Hands-on with indexing infrastructure, event listeners, keeper-style automation or subgraph tooling.
• Strong infra chops: containers, orchestration, cloud, IaC, CI/CD and proper alerting.
• Public GitHub or open-source work in backend or on-chain systems.

Why this role

• Your code sits in the hot path of a live derivatives venue with real users and real volume - impact is immediate and visible
• Genuine end-to-end ownership in a flat, founder-close team
• Fully remote with flexible structure, top-spec equipment, AI tooling provided, and offsites/conference travel
• Equity/token participation with meaningful upside at a platform still early in its growth curve
• Streamlined interview process
