About the Role

As the Lead Kamino Market Infrastructure Software Engineer, you'll be a force behind the software infrastructure powering efficient DeFi markets. You'll not only develop and maintain critical systems, but also play a key role in shaping the future of Solana financial markets through your code.

Our current infrastructure already monitors and operates our Kamino and Morpho vaults across chains(#1 DeFi curator with >$1.5B TVL). We are looking for top talent to build the most robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure for vault curation as we expand with best in class partners on Solana.

• Identify data points to enhance risk monitoring and implement real-time mitigation logic within the infrastructure.

• Create reporting tooling to support both operators and user-facing interfaces.

• Implement rigorous testing, monitoring, and security practices to ensure reliability, performance, and resilience against vulnerabilities and exploits.

Technical Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Python experience — including architecture, type system, testing, and production lifecycle management.

• 2+ years of experience developing and interacting with Solana programs.

• Proven experience building production-grade applications and infrastructure in Python and/or TypeScript on top of Solana programs.

• Deep understanding of the Solana transaction and instruction lifecycle, with ability to design systems optimized for performance and reliability.

• Ability to write Rust programs is a plus.

• Active engagement with the Solana DeFi ecosystem, protocols, infrastructure improvements, and evolving usage.

• Familiarity with economic modeling, financial mathematics, or quantitative analysis in DeFi.

• Detail-oriented, very rigorous, and proactive.

• Excellent analytical, communication, and collaboration skills with ability to translate complex financial requirements into scalable technical solutions.

What They Offer

• Work in an ecosystem that encourages transparency and open-source principles.

• Help shape the next financial markets — your code will move hundreds of millions on day one.
