GRVT

  • Crypto & Web3
  • 11–50
GRVT (pronounced “gravity”) is the world’s first regulated DEX that operates as a self-custodial CEX. We aim to enable anyone to buy, sell, trade and invest in financial products, leveraging smart contracts to ensure self-custody, scalability, and security. Traditional finance operates on outdated infrastructure, resulting in high costs and limited accessibility, whereas DeFi grapples with challenges of complexity and scalability. GRVT bridges these gaps and is building a unified global financial system that scales far beyond crypto.

Job description

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, test, and operate production systems in a complex trading environment.

  • Own the correctness, reliability, and operability of the features you build.

  • Actively surface and resolve ambiguity in requirements, product logic, and system behavior.

  • Write clear, maintainable code with a strong bias toward simplicity and correctness.

  • Participate in incident response and follow through with durable fixes and improvements.

  • Collaborate closely with peers through code reviews, design discussions, and shared problem-solving.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong engineering fundamentals and sound judgment in complex systems.

  • A demonstrated bias toward correctness, reliability, and production ownership.

  • Comfort reasoning about non-trivial business logic, stateful systems, and edge cases.

  • Consistent self-directed productivity in ambiguous or loosely scoped work.

  • Clear, collaborative communication and a strong team-oriented mindset.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with trading systems, exchanges, or other high-stakes domains.

  • Production experience with Go (Golang) or performance-sensitive backend systems.

  • Prior ownership of services in production, including on-call or incident response.

This Role Is Not a Fit If

  • You prefer narrowly scoped tasks with fully specified requirements.

  • You avoid production ownership or incident responsibility.

  • You optimize primarily for speed or novelty over correctness and clarity.

  • You are uncomfortable working in systems with significant complexity and real-world consequences.
