APEING Labs is building the next generation of on-chain trading infrastructure across perps, prediction markets, meme coins, and real-time market intelligence.
We are not building a simple crypto app. We are building a high-performance trading platform where speed, execution quality, data accuracy, and system reliability actually matter.
We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Blockchain Engineer who can operate across backend, frontend, and blockchain infrastructure, with strong experience in DeFi systems, real-time applications, and high-performance architecture. Strong Rust experience is a major plus, especially if you’ve worked on performance-critical systems, blockchain infrastructure, or low-latency services.
This is a senior role for someone who can take ownership, move fast, and help build production grade systems.
You will work closely with the founders and senior engineers to build and improve core parts of the Apeing platform across trading, wallet infrastructure, real-time data, streaming, profiles, analytics, and execution systems.
This role is ideal for an engineer who is comfortable working across the stack and enjoys building products where frontend experience, backend performance, and blockchain infrastructure all come together.

- Data ingestion, indexing, streaming, and synchronization systems
- Order execution, routing, and real-time state management
- Wallet balances, portfolio tracking, and transaction visibility
- Internal tools, admin systems, and production monitoring
- Performance optimization across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
- Systems that need to remain fast, stable, and accurate under heavy load
Key Responsibilities
- Build and ship full-stack features across web, backend, and blockchain systems
- Design scalable architecture for real-time DeFi products
- Improve latency, performance, and reliability across the platform
- Work on backend services, APIs, websocket systems, and data pipelines
- Build clean and responsive frontend experiences using modern frameworks
- Help improve wallet tracking, trade execution, streaming, and live market data
- Write clean, maintainable, production-ready code
- Identify bottlenecks, bugs, and weak points before they become larger issues
- Work closely with product, design, and infrastructure to get features production-ready
- Take ownership of systems and help drive them from idea to stable deployment

- Experience with performance optimization and debugging complex systems
- Ability to work independently and operate with high ownership
Strong Plus
- Strong Rust experience
- Experience with Solana and/or EVM chains
