Role
Backend Engineer
Description

Edge & Node stands at the forefront of web3 innovation, envisioning a world characterized by individual autonomy, collective self-sovereignty, and boundless collaboration. Founded by the creators of The Graph, our mission is to establish The Graph as the unshakable foundation of open data on the internet. We have pioneered and standardized subgraphs across the industry to cement The Graph as the definitive platform for organizing and accessing blockchain data. With a profound expertise in developing open-source software, tooling, and protocols, we empower creators and entrepreneurs to develop groundbreaking applications with revolutionary digital infrastructure.

Our core principles shape our journey towards shaping the future. We advocate for a decentralized internet, free from concentrated power, where collective consensus determines truth rather than authoritative control. Our dedication to censorship resistance reinforces our vision of an information age liberated from the influence of a single entity. By prioritizing open-source development, we challenge the status quo of web2, acknowledging that true innovation thrives in transparent and collaborative environments. We imagine a permissionless future where central gatekeepers are rendered obsolete, and trust transitions from intermediaries to trustless systems, leveraging smart contracts to eradicate inherent vulnerabilities.

The Graph-Node Engineering team is dedicated to building and maintaining essential software components that drive The Graph's functionality. Our focus lies particularly on graph-node, an open-source Rust project that forms the core indexing foundation of The Graph.

We are searching for a skilled and motivated software engineer to support us in developing and implementing optimizations for The Graph's Hosted Service and our graph-node codebase. This role necessitates a proficient understanding of Rust, experience in open-source software development, and preferably previous exposure to infrastructure and database technologies. The maintenance of our graph-node codebase is paramount as all subgraphs in The Graph ecosystem and queries in our Hosted Service rely on this software.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborating closely with operations and development engineers to identify areas for codebase enhancements
  • Participating in design meetings with external core development team engineers and reviewing their PRs
  • Designing, engineering, and implementing high-priority improvements for The Graph's Hosted Service platform
  • Analyzing requirements for specified initiatives, devising innovative solutions, and translating them into feature designs
  • Writing efficient, testable, and reusable code in Rust
  • Creating unit and integration tests and assisting in the development of automation tools for recurring tasks

Requirements:

  • Proven expertise and deep understanding of Rust; familiarity with Assemblyscript/Typescript is advantageous
  • Knowledge of the open-source software development process
  • Strong grasp of software design patterns to create reusable, extensible, and modular components
  • Basic understanding or awareness of blockchain or distributed technology is preferred
  • Availability for rotating on-call duty during working hours
  • Experience with ops and infrastructure (e.g., testing, tooling) and familiarity with Postgres databases is highly desirable
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with a multinational team across various time zones

About The Graph:

The Graph serves as the indexing and querying layer of web3. The Graph Network introduced its self-service experience for developers in July 2021. Developers can construct and publish open APIs known as subgraphs that applications can query using GraphQL. The Graph supports data indexing from multiple networks such as Ethereum, NEAR, Arbitrium, and more. Over 28,000 developers have built subgraphs for a variety of applications utilizing The Graph ecosystem. The community encourages developers to deploy subgraphs on the network through the updated Subgraph Studio or explore existing subgraphs in the Graph Explorer.

The Graph Foundation supervises The Graph Network and is governed by the Technical Council. Several organizations, including Edge & Node, StreamingFast, Messari, Semiotic, and The Guild, contribute to The Graph ecosystem.

If you are a developer involved in building web3 applications, using The Graph's subgraphs allows for efficient indexing and data querying from blockchains. Join The Graph community on Discord for engaging technical discussions or participate in The Graph's various social media channels for updates and insights.

Senior Rust Developer

Full time

About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join our core engineering team and own the systems that sit closest to the market. This means low-latency order execution engines, high-throughput market data pipelines, real-time streaming infrastructure, and integrations with both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Every millisecond and every line of code matters here, and you'll be the person making sure it all holds up under pressure. This is not a role for someone who wants to write Rust adjacent to trading. You'll be building the backbone of live production systems where correctness, safety, and raw performance have direct P&L consequences. You'll work alongside quantitative researchers and other engineers to implement and deploy strategies, and you'll have meaningful input into the infrastructure decisions that shape how we build and scale. If you've spent years pushing Rust to its limits in high-performance environments and you want that work to matter in real markets in real time, this is the role.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain high-throughput, low-latency trading systems in Rust
Develop and optimize order execution engines, market data feeds, and real-time processing pipelines
Build reliable integrations with centralized and decentralized exchanges across CEX and DEX environments
Architect systems for real-time streaming data and WebSocket communication at scale
Write safe, well-tested concurrent code leveraging async runtimes including Tokio and async-std
Collaborate with quantitative researchers to implement and deploy trading strategies into production
Profile, benchmark, and eliminate performance bottlenecks across critical system paths
Contribute to infrastructure decisions around deployment, observability, and fault tolerance
Requirements
5+ years of professional software engineering experience
2+ years building and maintaining production systems in Rust, and you will be tested on it
Deep command of Rust's ownership model, lifetimes, traits, and async patterns
Experience with high-performance networking including TCP/UDP, WebSockets, and gRPC
Strong understanding of concurrency primitives and lock-free data structures
Familiarity with financial systems, trading platforms, or real-time data pipelines
Linux systems programming and performance tuning experience
Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
Nice to Have
Experience with cryptocurrency exchanges, DeFi protocols, or blockchain RPC nodes
Knowledge of FIX protocol or other financial messaging standards
Open-source Rust contributions
Experience with FPGA or kernel-bypass networking such as DPDK or io_uring
Familiarity with quantitative trading concepts including order books and market microstructure
Infrastructure experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, or Prometheus/Grafana
