Veda builds vault infrastructure for DeFi at scale. We manage $2B+ in total value locked across 15+ blockchain networks, powering yield strategies for partners including Kraken, Etherfi, and Plasma. Our protocol turns complex multi-chain DeFi positions into simple vault interfaces that institutional and retail users can actually trust.

We seek individuals with high agency to join us in defining the next phase of DeFi growth and adoption. The ideal candidate takes ownership, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and adapts swiftly to evolving demands.

As an SVM Engineer, you will design, implement, and optimize smart contracts and DeFi protocols on the Solana Virtual Machine. With a special focus on vault architecture and security, you'll be responsible for creating robust financial applications that maintain the highest standards of security while delivering exceptional performance.

Design and develop smart contracts and DeFi protocols on the Solana Virtual Machine

Build and optimize secure vault systems for asset management and yield strategies

Collaborate with security teams to ensure protocols are protected against exploits

Integrate with existing DeFi protocols and establish cross-protocol compatibility

Optimize code for Solana's parallel execution environment

Conduct thorough testing and debugging of smart contracts

Research and implement innovative solutions to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs

Stay current with the latest developments in the Solana ecosystem and DeFi space

Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing

Experience building, deploying, and maintaining SVM smart contracts in production

Strong programming experience in Rust

Deep understanding of Solana and low-level SVM concepts

Thorough understanding of the Solana Virtual Machine architecture and its constraints

Experience building DeFi protocols (lending, trading, yield farming, etc.)

Knowledge of cryptographic principles and blockchain security best practices

Familiarity with Solana Program Library (SPL) and ecosystem tools

Understanding of vault architectures in DeFi contexts

Experience with on-chain security patterns and common vulnerabilities

Solid grasp of financial concepts as they apply to decentralized finance

Problem-solving attitude and ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Track record of creating audited and battle-tested smart contracts

Strong systems engineering fundamentals. You’ve built event-driven architectures, data pipelines, caching layers, and API services that handle high throughput.

You’ve seen production at scale. You’ve lived through systems that scaled past their original design. You know what breaks first, what compromises are temporary, and what shortcuts become permanent regret.

Previous experience building vault protocols on Solana or other blockchains

Contributions to open-source Solana projects

Experience with Anchor framework for Solana development

Knowledge of other blockchain platforms (Ethereum, Near, etc.) for cross-chain compatibility

Familiarity with front-end frameworks for dApp development (React, etc.)
