Why Tenex?

Tenex is building a high performance, decentralized derivatives exchange.

Tenex aims to exceed 100,000 transactions per second in production. This is over an order of magnitude improvement on the leading blockchain-based exchanges, which achieve roughly 3,000 TPS.

As a Blockchain Engineer, you will work directly with the founding team to architect and grow the development efforts of Tenex. In this role, you will be tasked with leading technical designs, implementing, and will bear significant ownership in getting Tenex to Mainnet.

Who we are

The founders of Tenex met while working in the hedge fund industry. There, they saw the old financial system--opaque, full of moats, unfair. When they saw the growth of DeFi in 2020, they felt it was going to be incredibly disruptive. They saw what they believed to be the early stages of a new financial world. Armed with that vision, the team built out the top suite of DeFi applications on a leading Layer 1 blockchain.

Develop and maintain high-quality software engineering practices and principles in a highly visible open-source project

What we're looking for

3+ years (ideally 5+ years) of experience as a backend software engineer (e.g. backend engineer in tech company, student with significant engineering experience)
Expertise in networking, distributed systems, consensus protocols, parallel execution, storage, or smart contract development
Experience with asynchronous programming (e.g. Rust’s tokio framework)
Experience with Rust, Go, Swift, or C/C++
