About ArmaDEXArmaDEX is building a new generation of decentralized infrastructure — a Layer-1 + DEX with its own ArmaBFT (PoS-BFT) consensus and a deterministic on-chain orderbook.
We are addressing the structural issues that limit current DEX scalability and institutional trust — by designing a system where every trade is deterministic, auditable, and provable.
What makes ArmaDEX different:
- MEV-resistant architecture with predictable finality (hybrid Lit + SLL execution)
- Deterministic replay — every event can be verified through ArmaLog and external checkpoints
- Transparent step-auction liquidations under DAO governance
- Native asset layer with ARMA-20 / 721 / 1155 standards and open Token Studio
Tech Stack- Core: Rust / Golang / TypeScript
- Smart Contracts: Solidity (EVM), Foundry, Hardhat, OpenZeppelin
- Frameworks: Cosmos SDK or Substrate (experience is a strong plus)
- Infra: gRPC, WASM, BFT consensus mechanisms
- Cryptography: commit–reveal, TEE / ZK attestations, threshold signatures
- Databases: RocksDB / IPFS / Merkle Logs
- DevOps: CI/CD, Kubernetes, Prometheus / Grafana, load testing
- Tooling: EIP-712 typed signatures, SDK & API generation
Responsibilities- Lead the design and development of ArmaDEX core modules — execution, consensus, and risk engine.
- Architect and supervise the implementation of ArmaBFT, ArmaLog, and deterministic replay.
- Manage and mentor a core engineering team (5 developers) ensuring delivery and code quality.
- Collaborate directly with the CTO on roadmap, architecture decisions, and technical standards.
- Coordinate with auditors and DevOps teams to meet security and performance targets.
- Contribute to protocol research, governance mechanisms, and scaling optimizations.
Requirements- 5 + years in blockchain protocol engineering or distributed systems.
- Proven experience with L1/L2 architecture, consensus design, and DEX/risk systems.
- Expert-level proficiency in Rust or Golang.
- Deep understanding of BFT algorithms, deterministic execution, and cryptographic primitives.
- Experience leading small, high-performing engineering teams.
- Willingness to relocate and work on-site in Bishkek.
We Offer- Leadership role in the core Layer-1 protocol team (6 developers + CTO).
- Fixed USD salary + performance bonuses tied to major milestones.
- Full ownership over architecture and core module delivery.
- Close collaboration with the CTO on technical roadmap and protocol design.
- On-site engineering culture with fast iteration and minimal bureaucracy.
- Transparent contracts and long-term growth within ArmaDEX Core Engineering.
