Solana Blockchain Engineer
PhantomFull Time
Junior (1 to 2 years)
The Solana Foundation is a non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland, dedicated to the adoption, decentralization, and security of the Solana network. Solana is a high-performance blockchain that delivers a fast and friendly user experience without sacrificing security. The Solana Foundation aims to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and transfer information and value freely around the world. We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and use their expertise to help the ecosystem build.
The Foundation collaborates with both internal contributors and external ecosystem teams to solve key technical challenges and accelerate the development of core infrastructure, developer tooling, and open-source standards. This includes everything from on-chain protocols to growth tooling, smart contract frameworks, and new developer experiences. We work closely with many of the most ambitious teams in crypto, including those building next-generation DeFi, payments, gaming, DePIN, and Real-World Asset platforms.
We’re looking for talented Solana Program Engineers, with a strong emphasis on developers who have built or want to build cutting-edge DeFi protocols on Solana.
This is an open application to express your interest in working on one of several high-impact teams across the Solana ecosystem. Depending on your background and interests, we may connect you with projects building:
Selected candidates will be matched with ecosystem teams (and in some cases, the Foundation’s internal contributors) based on your skills, interests, and availability. Roles vary from full-time to grant-based, depending on the team.
Bonus: Familiarity with Solana-native DeFi protocols like OpenBook, Jupiter, MarginFi, Orca, or Meteora.
Ready to build the next generation of DeFi? If you’re a Rust engineer excited to work on the bleeding edge of Solana — whether you’ve already deployed programs or are looking to level up — we want to hear from you.
Submit your info and we’ll reach out as opportunities arise across the Solana ecosystem.

Blockchain platform for decentralized applications
Solana is a blockchain platform that allows for the development of fast and secure decentralized applications (dApps) and cryptocurrencies. It can process thousands of transactions per second, making it appealing for developers and traders in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Revenue is generated through transaction fees and staking rewards, with validators earning SOL tokens for securing the network. The Solana Foundation supports the ecosystem by providing grants and resources to promote decentralization and application development.
