Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Systems Engineer (Contract, LATAM) role at Nexus Mutual focused on building high-performance execution systems for a Layer 1 blockchain and decentralized exchange engine.
• Design and implement performance-critical components in Rust, C++, or Go; optimize concurrency, memory layout, and I/O paths; build low-latency pipelines for order execution and state updates; contribute to protocol-level execution abstractions; collaborate with protocol, cryptography, and product teams remotely from LATAM.
• Nexus Mutual is a blockchain infrastructure company headquartered in San Francisco with a growing presence in Buenos Aires, backed by top-tier investors and building a unified global exchange for verifiable finance.
• Opportunity to grow from mid-level engineer to system owner or drive execution architecture as a senior/principal; work on systems where optimizations directly impact global performance; shape primitives that may be enshrined at the protocol level in a high-performance engineering culture.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other systems programming languages
• Understanding of high-performance or distributed systems (e.g., low-latency engines, runtimes, databases, OS-level concurrency)
• Ability to think in terms of execution flows, concurrency models, resource lifecycles, and system invariants
• Practical experience profiling CPU, memory, and synchronization overhead
• Comfort working close to runtime constraints where performance, determinism, and resilience are critical
• Excellent communication skills in Business English (spoken and written)

🏖️ Benefits

• Build the execution backbone of a Layer 1 blockchain and next-generation DEX engine
• Work on systems where optimizations translate directly into global performance gains
• Grow from mid-level contributor to system owner or drive execution architecture as a senior/principal
• Shape primitives designed to last — correct, performant, and potentially enshrined at the protocol level
• Join a high-performance engineering culture where ambition and deep technical work are expected

About Nexus Mutual

Nexus Mutual is a decentralized insurance protocol built on Ethereum that enables members to share risk through discretionary coverage products. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, the platform uses a mutual structure governed by NXM token holders who collectively underwrite smart-contract failure, exchange hacks, and other crypto-specific risks. Members stake tokens to assess claims and receive rewards, while policyholders purchase cover priced algorithmically based on staking levels and historical loss data. The protocol operates transparently on-chain, replacing traditional insurers with peer-to-pool risk sharing and automated claims assessment.
