Senior Rust Engineer, Routing
The router is the part of this service that decides where every swap goes. You would own it.
The role
A campaign arrives as a target volume and a mint address. The router turns that into a sequence of swaps distributed across whichever venues actually hold liquidity for the token, re-weighted continuously as pool depth moves during the run. It is written in Rust, it runs against a live RPC fleet, and it is the difference between a campaign that books its target and one that burns fees on transactions that never confirm.
What you would own
- Own venue weighting: how depth, measured failure rate and fee tier combine into a routing decision
- Reduce the share of submitted transactions that fail, which is currently the largest source of wasted budget
- Build the replay harness that lets us test a routing change against recorded chain state before it ships
- Decide when a leg should be retried, resized, or abandoned
What we need
- Four or more years of production Rust, including async under sustained connection load
- Direct experience with Solana transaction construction: compute budget, priority fees, blockhash lifetime, versioned transactions
- Comfort reading a program you did not write and working out what its account layout implies
- Willingness to be paged when confirmation rates drop at an inconvenient hour
Nice to have
- Experience with Jito bundles or another private submission path
- Familiarity with at least one Solana AMM implementation at the account level
These are genuinely optional. Nobody has been turned down for missing all of them.

How to apply
Email support@solanavolumebotpro.com with Senior Rust Engineer, Routing in the subject line. Include your CV and a few sentences on what you would change first. A link to code, writing or a system you ran counts for more than a covering letter.
If you are unsure whether your background fits, apply and say so in the note. We would rather read an application that turns out to be a mismatch than miss one that was not.
