Solana Foundation, Remote-US +1
About the job
Who we are
The Solana Foundation is a non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland, dedicated to the adoption, decentralization, and security of the Solana network. Solana is a high performance blockchain that can deliver a fast and friendly user experience, without sacrificing security. The Solana Foundation is working to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and transfer information and value freely around the world. We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and use their expertise to help the ecosystem build.
What we do
Frontier Traders is a community and rewards platform for elite firms and traders working at the frontier of emerging assets, markets, and technology. It brings trading activity from across the Solana ecosystem into one place, where traders earn rewards, compete in campaigns for prize pools, climb leaderboards, and progress through VIP tiers that unlock rebates and infrastructure access.
The product tracks spot and perpetuals volume across every venue on Solana, spanning RWAs, tokenized equities, and the long tail of ecosystem assets. Its users are demanding by nature: proprietary trading firms, market makers, and HFTs, alongside the onchain traders moving real volume every day. They notice when a number is wrong, and they expect the product to keep pace with the market.
