Job description

Jito builds the Market Layer of Solana, the infrastructure that powers real markets on-chain. We started by building foundational network infrastructure: execution systems, capital markets, and incentive mechanisms that process billions in daily transaction value. Our products (Jito Block Engine, BAM, and JitoSOL) are market leaders and core to how Solana's economy operates. Now we're moving up the stack. You’ll help build JTX, the trading app designed to capture the next generation of on-chain volume - not simply by adding more features or competing on fees, but by creating the platform serious traders genuinely want to use every day. This is a product challenge that goes far beyond shipping functionality. It requires deep attention to speed, trust, feel, workflow, and user obsession at every level of the experience. The hardest part isn’t measuring what traders want - it’s building a product so intuitive and powerful that they choose it instinctively. We're a small, profitable company with product-market fit. That means: High ownership: Every team member drives significant technical decisions and shapes our product roadmap. Fast execution: We ship rapidly and iterate based on real-world feedback. Progress, not motion. Technical excellence: We tackle complex problems with elegant, scalable solutions. Sustainable growth: Strong financials and proven market fit enable us to focus on long-term impact. We offer competitive compensation, significant equity, and the opportunity to work on problems that matter. About the Position We're building JTX, a next-generation trading app that brings the speed, power, and sophistication of Solana’s market infrastructure directly to traders. This is a true 0-to-1 product effort focused on creating an experience that serious on-chain traders actually want to use - fast, intuitive, high-performance, and deeply connected to the mechanics of the market itself. You’ll work alongside the team behind some of the leading infrastructure powering billions in daily transaction value on Solana, translating complex systems and market behavior into a seamless trading experience for users. Whether it’s shaping workflows, refining interfaces, improving execution visibility, or helping define the product from the ground up, this role will have a direct hand in building what trading on Solana looks like next. If you've spent time thinking about how markets actually work on Solana and want to build the product layer on top of that, this is the role.
