This is a remote position.
This company is a Web3 player offering a unified API to access all on-chain liquidity across major blockchains in order to simplify multi-chain DeFi for traditional financial institutions, fintechs and service providers, for best price same-chain and cross-chain swaps.
They are looking for a Backend Developer with a dedicated focus on integrating Hyperliquid functionalities into their API platform. This role is backend-only (no frontend or design work required) letting you shape core integrations at the infrastructure layer.
Please note: You must be located in the EMEA region. Your application will not be considered otherwise.
MISSIONS
- Extend the company’s API stack to include Hyperliquid ecosystem projects and feature set
- Collaborate closely with the Expansion PM and other backend engineers to improve integrations, routing, and user flows; help evaluate new opportunities for feature extension.
- Ensure robust, high-quality backend code, focusing on scalability and reliability for same-chain and cross-chain trading.
- Participate in code reviews, system design, and documentation.
Technical ecosystem :
Backend : Typescript, EVM and integration patterns
Hyperliquid : builder codes (spot, perps), HIP-3, precompiles, and HyperEVM
Programmatic trading : TWAP, perps, orderbooks
Crypto : Solana, Bitcoin (Nice to have)
Requirements
The company prioritizes candidates who show genuine excitement for Hyperliquid and demonstrate technical familiarity with its protocols. Expect conversations where you can showcase prior Hyperliquid-related projects and discuss ideas for future integration work.
