About Nexus
Nexus is the engine for verifiable finance — a blockchain designed to natively embed the world’s financial system into one compounding system. Built to support every major financial market on a single global exchange, Nexus unifies infrastructure that has historically been fragmented across chains and intermediaries.
Headquartered in San Francisco with a growing presence in Buenos Aires, Nexus is proud to be a cross-continental team of engineers, cryptographers, and market builders. We’re investing deeply in the Latin American ecosystem — and always looking for world-class talent to join us.
Nexus is backed by leading investors, including Pantera, Lightspeed, Dragonfly, Faction, Blockchain Builders Fund, Alliance, and SVA, and works with more than 100 partners across the global finance and blockchain stack.
Location: Remote
Type: Contract
Duration: 12 months with potential for extension
The Role
We’re hiring Sr Systems Engineers in Latin America to work at the core of Nexus’s execution stack — contributing to the runtime behind our Layer 1 protocol and the high-performance engine that powers decentralized trading.
This is not a typical backend role. You will work on performance-critical systems where microseconds matter, building execution paths that may evolve into core protocol primitives. Your work will directly shape how orders are processed, state transitions are computed, and performance guarantees are achieved across the network.
Whether you're a strong mid-level engineer looking to grow into system ownership, or a senior/principal engineer eager to architect high-throughput distributed systems, this role offers the opportunity to build software that runs at the heart of a global execution layer.
You’ll collaborate closely with protocol, cryptography, and product teams in San Francisco while contributing remotely from Argentina.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement high-performance components in Rust, C++, or Go for Nexus’s DEX engine
