Rust Backend Developer in SERBIA

Note: This is a fully remote role open to candidates from all countries. We encourage international applications.

DefiTuna is a young project in the Solana Network, launched on the mainnet three months ago. The protocol is bringing innovation to Solana, specifically in the Lending market. We provide tools for both lenders and liquidity providers, offering some of the highest lending rates in the blockchain space. We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of innovation. For liquidity providers, we enable farming with leverage to amplify rewards, allowing LPs to take bigger risks.

The protocol's TVL grew by $10M in one month, with several thousand transactions per day. This is a serious challenge for our team and our business. We are looking for a strong candidate who can contribute towards our rapid growth phase currently experienced by our project, implement a wide range of new features, and take the project to the next level.
