Merge Tech an independent trading house in the world of digital assets. 

Merge Tech is an independent trading house that creates high-tech strategies in the areas of HFT, MEV, and DeFi on Solana and other L1.Our team consists of the founders of one of the largest Ethereum mining pools (3% of all blocks before The Merge).We are currently focused on developing algorithms for digital markets and building competitive real-time strategies.

Working at Merge Tech means:

- A small, high-tech team with direct influence on the product.

- No bureaucracy or investors: the team manages strategies independently.

- Access to unique data and technologies in the field of HFT/MEV.

What you’ll do

  • Build robust Python services for execution, quoting, hedging, and risk.

  • Design backtests/simulators and run live experiments with strong observability.

  • Research and Develop trading strategies.

  • Ship production code with tight SLAs, low latency, and clear failure modes.

  • Own CI/CD, containerization, and runtime reliability.

Must-have

  • 2+ years writing production Python.

  • Strong grasp of market microstructure: AMMs, Order Book, slippage, liquidity, and routing.

  • Hands-on with DEX/CEX APIs and real-time market data ingestion.

  • Practical EVM or Solana experience: tx lifecycle, RPC nuances, simulation, priority fees.

  • Data work: NumPy/Pandas/Polars, Parquet/Arrow; Postgres/Timescale.

  • Testing & quality: pytest, property tests, type hints (mypy/pyright), structured logging, feature flags.

  • Infra basics: Docker, Linux, GitHub Actions (or similar), metrics with Prometheus/Grafana and error tracking (Sentry).

Nice-to-have

  • Perp DEX experience (e.g., Hyperliquid) and DEX aggregators/routing.

  • On-chain MEV/arb concepts (bundles/private relays on EVM; compute budget/priority fees on Solana).

  • Low-latency profiling/tuning (uvloop, asyncio queues, zero-copy, GC tuning).

  • Message buses (Kafka/NATS), columnar storage, and time-series schema design.

  • Rust/Go for hot paths; FastAPI for control planes and dashboards.

We offer

- Participation in the creation of cutting-edge strategies and algorithms in the digital asset market.

- Work in an international high-class team.

- Flexible remote format.

- Access to unique data and infrastructure.
