About Drift Labs

Drift Labs is the core contributor to Drift Protocol, the largest perpetuals DEX on Solana. Drift Protocol's goal is to make DEXs the best way to trade derivatives. Despite the decentralized nature of crypto, centralized derivatives exchanges still remain dominant - they're already fast, familiar and reliable however lack immutability and transparency.

Drift's vision is to create a centralised user experience built on decentralised rails. We're backed by Multicoin Capital, Polychain Ventures, Ethereal and many more. The team is made up of experienced traders and builders from DeFi and traditional finance working to make this a reality.

You'll be expected to build and maintain core infrastructures for off-chain bots that ensure maximal price efficiency on Drift's DEX. Additionally, you'll have an opportunity to work across our entire Solana stack on cutting-edge technology that revolutionizes the way we trade digital assets.

Drift Labs pays a competitive salary with upside potential.
