What we're looking for

Jito Labs is seeking talented and hungry senior engineers to build the future of MEV with us. You’ll work with the team to drive large features from start to finish, mandated by company milestones.

3+ years of Unix experience (systemd, kernel modules, filesystems, and more)
Comfortable with Git, Docker, and continuous integration
Bonus: experience running blockchain infrastructure.
Bonus: experience running MEV or trading bots on blockchains and CEXs

Other Requirements

Attention to detail
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Deep understanding of technology and ability to distill communications into the simplest explanation

Self-sufficient
Ability to understand business and engineering tradeoffs

Jito Labs mission is to scale Solana through high-performance MEV infrastructure.

We’re a fast moving and ambitious team building infrastructure to increase the performance of Solana, minimize the negative effects of MEV to users and maximize MEV distribution to Solana stakers.
