Cloud Fullstack Engineer (Senior Role)

Join Vega Financial, and make the highest quality investments freely accessible to everyone.

Vega Financial was founded on one idea: The highest quality investments should be as freely accessible as information on the internet, and everyone should be able to invest in the best wealth generating assets. We’ve started with the best assets for the current global economic environment: investment grade bonds and private credit. So far, have raised a $3.3m pre-seed financing to build this vision.

What we are building

Problem

400m humans hold $1 trillion in crypto assets as a means to build wealth
Many of these people are new to investing, having recently ditched their hyperinflating fiat currencies for stablecoins
The current risk-on, high volatility, highly correlated asset mix within the crypto could not be a worse wealth generation mechanism for these retail investors

Solution

Vega Financial is pioneering a global blockchain frontend to the fixed income market. Institutional Investors, DeFi Builders, and Retail are 1 click away from bond yield via highly composable crypto assets. Just like USDC, but the owner keeps the yield. While Institutional Investors and DeFi Builders will invest in bonds, Retail can participate via on-chain ETFs. Our founding team has decades of experience working with regulators, which we’ve leveraged to receive a first-of-its-kind regulatory approval to offer this product compliantly.

Bonds have metadata, therefore they must be NFTs for compliance. This requires new infrastructure, so we built, launched, and validated two protocols in the past 100 days. The first is our Bond DEX, an NFT AMM that achieved $136k in volume for one collection in a 2-month test market pilot. The second, our On-Chain ETF, which today provides sustainable yield and indexed token appreciation exposure to the top revenue-generating Arbitrum protocols, but tomorrow will be used to package bonds into baskets with superior risk vs return than any existing crypto asset today.

We are looking for an experienced Fullstack engineer to help us build the first generation of our bond tokenization technology, as well as advance our Bond DEX and On-Chain ETF products. You will be responsible for leading the architecture and implementation of critical backend and frontend systems, and creating integrations between our internal systems, third party TradFi systems, on-chain events, and oracles that will power the EVM’s bond market.
