Software Engineer - Rust & Solana - Bangalore

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Rust & Solana Software Engineer to own, scale, and maintain our high-throughput blockchain infrastructure and data delivery systems. Refer https://nolimitnodes.com

In this role, you'll be building and maintaining the foundational backend engines, indexing pipelines, and real-time streaming interfaces that power latency-critical Solana applications. You will have full ownership over core feature development, system reliability, and performance optimization.

Job Location: Whitefield, Bangalore

CTC: 3.6L per annum

Key Responsibilities

• Core Feature Development: Design, build, and deploy new high-performance features for data streaming, transaction indexing, and node interaction services.
• System Maintenance & Reliability: Maintain existing Rust services, optimize memory usage, lower latency, and ensure maximum uptime for RPC and data feed infrastructure.
• Low-Latency Streaming: Develop and refine custom gRPC/WebSocket streaming pipelines and plugin integrations (e.g., Geyser-based plugins) for real-time state tracking.
• Architecture & Profiling: Identify system bottlenecks, optimize async runtimes (tokio), and streamline low-level networking and serialization routines.
• DevOps Alignment: Collaborate on infrastructure automation, node synchronization workflows, and production telemetry monitoring.

Requirements

• 0.5-2 years of strong experience with Rust or other systems programming language (Java / C++)
• Solana Knowledge: Understanding of how solana blockchain works
• High-Throughput Systems: Hands-on experience with high-concurrency network programming, gRPC/Protobuf, WebSockets, and low-latency API design.
• Database & Data Pipelines: Familiarity with high-ingestion storage engines and caches (e.g., ClickHouse, Redis, Kafka/Redpanda).
• Linux & Infrastructure: Comfortable working in Linux environments, containerized workflows (Docker), and bare-metal/cloud deployments.

Nice to Haves

• Direct experience writing or maintaining Solana Geyser plugins or Yellowstone gRPC services.
• Background in low-latency trading, MEV, or DeFi liquidity tracking systems.
• Experience running bare-metal server nodes, configuring high-speed network interfaces, or tuning Linux kernel parameters for network I/O.
