Senior Rust Software Engineer - Low-latency Networking
Software Engineering · Full-time, Contractor Remote Posted on Feb 26, 2026
Want to help build infrastructure for the Internet capital markets? Triton One operates one of the largest Solana RPC deployments with a fully remote team. We're looking for a Senior Rust Software Engineer to design and build low-latency networking applications.
North, Central, or South America timezone is important.
We work remotely, but would like someone who can coordinate with a working group based primarily in the Americas.
The team
Developers and engineers (and one or two business folks) who care about solid engineering and contributing to the Solana community.
Dragon’s Mouth gRPC for streaming services provides a standardised way to access Solana’s geyser interface
Old Faithful, the first full history archive of Solana
Jet, the fastest and most fully featured QUIC-based transaction sender
Built high-performance indexing on Solana in the form of Steamboat for program queries
Worked together with other ecosystem actors to make the Digital Asset API a production-ready service
In the coming year, we look forward to further developing the Solana RPC stack and building better services for other chains. We’re crypto natives who provide bespoke infrastructure for high frequency trading, DeFi and NFT applications. Join us and help build Web 3.0!
The role
Build the next iteration of Solana.
When you join our team, you’ll help design and maintain the critical infrastructure and services that enable Triton to massively increase the bandwidth of Solana, while reducing the latency required to interrogate the ledger from genesis to tip.
Experience writing XDP programs and working with AF_XDP (XSK) sockets in Rust
Strong understanding of the UDP protocol and the Linux kernal networking stack
Knowledge of the QUIC protocol
Proficiency in asynchronous Rust
Experience with performance tuning and profiling of network-heavy systems
Experience in benchmarking, profiling and performance optimisation of Rust-based applications
Excellent written and verbal communication skills — we speak several languages, but work primarily in English
Preferred skills
Experience with Linux io_uring
Knowledge of shared memory mechanisms in Linux
Familiarity with blockchain systems, particularly Solana
Understanding of error correcting codes (ECC) / forward error correction (FEC)
Basically...
We want you to dig into library source code and open-source projects to understand implementation details and behaviour under the hood. And then we want you to make it better.
Our interview process
A 15-minute intro call with our Business Manager who can answer your basic questions about the role and the team
A 60-minute technical interview with a member of your future team. You should be comfortable discussing technical challenges and best practices during this process.
If a founder can't join the technical interview (and he will usually try to), we'll have a short intro call at this point.
It's important to us that we compensate our team well, and reward expertise and great work. You can talk about compensation and contract structures with our Business Manager at any time during the process. We want to make sure you're set up in a situation that works best for you.
Excited? We can’t wait to meet you!
