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?

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.
