Join Orca as a Senior Software Engineer (Backend)
Orca is on a mission to become the leading provider of financial primitives on Solana. We envision a future where a significant portion of the world's financial transactions is powered by CLAMMs and other Decentralized Finance (DeFi) products. To accelerate our progress towards this vision, we are looking to add a senior software engineer to our team.
What You’ll Do

- Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- Balanced Mindset: Comfortable working independently in an asynchronous environment, but also enjoy collaborating as a team. Passionate about certain technologies and patterns, but recognize their trade-offs.

- Interest in DeFi: Whether new to DeFi or an accomplished degen, you’re excited to create a more decentralized, equitable financial system.
