Job description
Lightcone is building impact markets infrastructure that bridges prediction markets and traditional finance. We’re pre-product, seed stage, and creating something genuinely new. Our market structure connects these two worlds in ways that haven’t been done before.
Responsibilities
### Responsibilities - Take ownership over parts of the Solana stack (Anchor / Pinocchio programs) and parts of the backend exchange infrastructure (Rust). - Work directly on Solana programs that define the foundations of impact markets as a product category. - Develop backend infrastructure that wraps around the programs to create a robust, reliable and fast exchange product. - Collaborate closely with the cofounders with minimal process overhead.
Requirements
### Requirements - Very comfortable writing production systems in Rust. - Experience building on Solana (Anchor is a must; Pinocchio a plus). - Worked on latency-sensitive, correctness-critical infrastructure or products. - Comfortable working in an environment with incomplete specifications. - Enjoy thinking about complex problems from scratch. - A markets nerd.
