Blockchain • Software

Jito Labs is a company that develops MEV (Miner Extractable Value) software for the Solana blockchain network. Their tools are designed to optimize the performance of the Solana blockchain by enabling validators, searchers, and stakers to improve trade efficiency and maximize profits. Jito offers products like the Block Engine, Bundles, and ShredStream, providing ways for validators to earn more from traders' Bundles while enhancing the decentralization and health of the Solana network. They offer a liquid staking pool and strive to leverage MEV for the benefit of the network, minimizing negative impacts on other users and applications on Solana.

📋 Description

• Design and build core systems for our new product from scratch • Build low-latency, high-reliability services that interact directly with Solana's transaction and block building pipeline • Own critical infrastructure: order routing, execution, real-time market data, and position management • Implement security at every layer, from transaction signing to user data protection • Work closely with the product and infrastructure teams to ship fast and iterate based on real user feedback • Make significant architectural decisions as an early member of the team

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on distributed systems • Strong systems programming skills. Rust preferred, but deep experience in C/C++, Go, or similar is fine • Track record building reliable, low-latency systems in production • Security-first mindset. You think about attack surfaces, key management, and failure modes before writing code • Familiarity with Solana's runtime, transaction lifecycle, and market microstructure (MEV, block building, execution quality) is a strong plus • Comfortable operating with high autonomy and incomplete information. This is a 0-to-1 product, not a mature codebase

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation • Significant equity • Opportunity to work on problems that matter
