About the role
As a Backend Engineer on Ondo's market making team, you'll build and scale the infrastructure behind our trading stack - real-time systems that quote and hedge tokenized markets 24/7 across on-chain and traditional venues. This is a small, senior team, working in Rust and Go, with high ownership over live production risk.

- 4+ years of backend software engineering experience, with strong programming ability in Go or Rust, and willingness to work in both
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, system design, and building services that run under real-time or latency-sensitive conditions
- Experience integrating with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), third-party services, and high-throughput, production-critical systems
- Demonstrated interest in Web3, DeFi, or trading systems—whether through professional experience or side projects
- Familiarity with market microstructure or order execution is a plus, but not required
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment with high ambiguity and high ownership over live production risk

About the company
Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We were the first company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries, and have since expanded into several other assets. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto.
Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue growing the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.
