About Obinex

Obinex is the first fully gamified centralized exchange (CEX), where finance meets game mechanics and NFT-powered experiences. We’re building the platform that will redefine how millions of users interact with trading, staking, and digital economies.

Our MVP is in development, and we’re assembling a global founding team. Now we’re looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to establish the core security and infrastructure of Obinex from day one.

What will you do?

As our Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for architecting the backbone of a high-performance exchange. This means not just writing code, but designing systems that scale to millions of users while meeting the highest security and compliance standards.

You’ll:

• Design and implement low-latency distributed systems (trading engine, order book, messaging).
• Build scalable APIs and microservices in Golang and Rust.
• Ensure concurrency, parallelism, and performance optimization at scale.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps to embed security-first practices across the backend.
• Mentor engineers and help set the technical culture of Obinex.
• Translate complex architecture decisions into clear, long-term strategies.

What You’ll Do in the First 12 Months

• Architect and deliver the exchange’s trading engine and order book.
• Design fault-tolerant systems with SLA targets close to 99.999% uptime.
• Implement event-driven architectures (Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ).
• Optimize databases for scalability (PostgreSQL, Redis, NoSQL, time-series DBs).
• Embed cryptographic standards, KYC/AML hooks, and compliance requirements into backend systems.
• Integrate with custody solutions like Fireblocks or Anchorage.
• Continuously improve systems with monitoring, observability, and autoscaling.

Requirements (Mandatory)

• 8+ years of backend engineering experience.
• Proficiency in Golang and Rust.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, concurrency, and parallelism.
• Experience with event-driven architecture (Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ).
• Strong background in PostgreSQL, NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB), and caching (Redis, Memcached).
• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP/Azure) and IaC (Terraform, Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of security practices (cryptography, secret management, OWASP Top 10).
• Experience in regulated environments (fintech, banking, crypto CEXs).

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to time-series databases (InfluxDB, Timescale).
• Experience designing ledger-like storage (immutable, auditable).
• Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS compliance.
• Prior work on trading platforms or high-frequency systems.

What We Offer

• Equity from day one in a global fintech startup.
• Base salary starting once our $5M fundraising round closes (currently in progress).
• A role with massive ownership: you’ll design the infrastructure and security backbone of Obinex.
• Direct exposure to regulatory-grade challenges in fintech + Web3.
• Real opportunity to grow into Head of DevSecOps within 18–24 months.
• Global, remote-first culture, obsessed with execution and innovation.
