ErisX is at the fast-moving intersection of financial markets and digital assets. We are rich with capital markets history and the creativity and energy of a FinTech start up. It is with this entrepreneurial mindset combined with the input of the most successful and forward-thinking investors, and clients, that we work together to develop disruptive technologies and capital markets products. Backed by premier exchanges, trading firms, brokers and private equity firms, our team is made up of financial services executives, technologists and market experts. We thrive on knowledge, execution and collaboration. This is reflected in our core values which include; growing the knowledge through coaching, curiosity, constant learning and teaching. We strive to advance deliberately and with a purpose through nimble, thoughtful, creative and disciplined action. These values are more than just words, they reflect our culture and are the way we believe we should operate as an exchange.
As a software engineer at ErisX you will be working on creating the most cutting edge trading and clearing system to power the next generation digital asset exchange. In this role you will work closely with other technologists and financial experts to design, develop, and improve on our critical trading and clearing systems.
The systems you will work on will facilitate onboarding automation, account management, movement of funds for both crypto and fiat, blockchain interactions and trading of spot and futures derivatives. Given the critical nature of these systems, they must be designed with high availability and high performance as a key requirement.
The Opportunity
Salad is at a key inflection point: we've successfully built a seed-stage product to connect users, their idle computers, and the ever growing demand for computer power. Now, we're ready to put fuel on the fire and scale Salad into the next big thing in computing. Our users trust Salad to turn their idle computers into rewards with the click of a button. Building and maintaining trust is core to everything we do. We reward our users with gift cards, subscriptions, games, and more. Today these idle computers support public blockchain networks, but we're quickly building a distributed infrastructure with our sights set on exascale computing.
We're looking for a software developer to help us build this future of computing. Reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, this role will have the opportunity to influence the design of key components and drive the implementation of major features.
We support some flexibility with work schedules, but we also work together as a tight-knit team. Collaboration and meetings necessitate a time zone between UTC-05:00 (Eastern Time Zone) and UTC-09:00 (Alaska Time Zone).
The Role
As an engineer on our cross-functional team, you'll work collaboratively with product managers, designers, fellow engineers, and support technicians to build high-impact features in our core and developing products. This role is highly technical, and you'll be a top code contributor. Your efforts will be focused on user interfaces, web-based applications, cross-platform desktop applications, APIs, microservices, data security, and third-party integrations.
The Tech Stack
Salad successfully shipped a MVP in less than 3 months using serverless infrastructure. As we grew, we hit the scaling and throughput limits of these services. We spent the last year building a rock solid, hyper-scalable application infrastructure all the while delivering the most requested new features.
Our open-source desktop and web-based applications are built in TypeScript on Electron, React and Node.js. Our APIs and services are built in C# powered by ASP.NET Core and Microsoft Orleans, a framework for robust, scalable, distributed applications.
We have a continuous delivery workflow that leverages Terraform and Docker to deploy our applications on AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, and Netlify. We love to automate all the things and deliver high-quality experiences to users all around the world.
