COMPANY
At 0x, our mission is to eliminate the complexity of accessing tokens and liquidity. We deliver this to web3 builders with a delightfully simple suite of developer APIs that provide faster trading, better prices, and superior user experience.
Founded in 2017, we’ve processed over 60M+ million transactions and $130B+ in trading volume from users trading on Matcha, Coinbase Wallet, Robinhood Wallet, Phantom, Rainbow, DefiLlama, MetaMask, Zerion, Zapper, and many more. Our investors include Greylock Partners, Pantera Capital, and Jump Crypto.
When you join 0x, you’ll become part of a veteran team of crypto builders who know the importance of code quality, team cohesion, and a culture of learning.
The Role
As a member of 0x’s pricing team, you will be laser focused on delivering the best prices at the fastest speeds. The work is similar to that of an MEV searcher: gas optimization, liquidity discovery, low latency, and integrating with the best AMMs such as Uniswap, Curve, Integral, and Ambient.
As a Software Engineer on the Pricing Team, you will:
- Work with our smart contract engineers to design secure gas optimizations
- Stay abreast with the ecosystem and integrate new AMMs as they attract liquidity
- Optimize the speed of our algorithms
- Work with our research engineers to implement novel pricing algorithms
- Experiment with Reth for faster data indexing
0x BACKEND TECH STACK
The pricing team’s tech stack is mostly Rust, TypeScript and Solidity.
Since real-time blockchain data is critical for pricing, we also rely heavily on Reth.
- Languages: TypeScript, Rust, and a smidgen of Solidity (Foundry stack)
- Reth
- Kafka
- Postgres
- Redis
- Kubernetes
- Grafana/Prometheus

- Be a steward and influencer of our engineering culture: focusing on simplicity, maintainability, and performance
