Exponent is a new DeFi protocol that recently launched on Solana. Our team has years of experience working in Solana for teams like Squads, Raydium, Kamino, and more. We are backed by investors including Solana Ventures, RockawayX, Mechanism Capital, and Robot Ventures.

At Exponent you will have the opportunity to build with us the first DeFi fixed rate market for Solana. Exponent’s flagship product, Income Tokens, introduce a new asset class to Solana with bond-like characteristics. They allow participants to access fixed yields across DeFi (e.g. on lending protocols) for a specific time horizon, regardless of market volatility.

We deeply believe Solana is the best blockchain infrastructure for financial products and care about making it the richest onchain economy for its participants. By joining us, you will have the opportunity to build a more efficient financial economy on Solana within an $8B+ ecosystem.

Your Role

As an early-stage startup, we are seeking engineers who can iterate and ship quickly, as well as have a high degree of ownership and agency.

We are looking for an additional smart contract engineer to join our team and help integrate new protocols, expanding Exponent’s fixed-volatile yield products across the Solana ecosystem. In this role, you will:

• Work with our team on integrating new Solana-based protocols and writing programs for them,
• Monitor and keep our protocol integrations up to date,
• Write security oriented integration tests as well as unit and fuzz tests for those integrations.

Requirements

Although we don’t look for exact minimum years of experience, we expect you to have some existing qualifications:

• Experience in building, deploying, and maintaining Solana programs in production using Rust (with or without Anchor)
• Deep understanding of major DeFi primitives (AMM, lending, order book, perpetual margin trading)
• A passion for decentralized finance
