6d • Remote

About The Position

M0 is the shared infrastructure where businesses launch their own branded stablecoins and financial institutions power them. Built on a common standard, every stablecoin on M0 is interoperable and liquid from day one - giving businesses programmable control over how money moves in their ecosystems, and giving financial institutions the most advanced issuance stack in the industry.
M0 is seeking a Solana Smart Contract Engineer who will play a fundamental role in shaping the future of our organization. As a Solana Smart Contract Engineer, you will architect and develop Solana programs in Rust and extend M0’s existing issuance infrastructure with a focus on Token-2022. The ideal candidate is self-driven with strong ownership instincts and a bias for action, brings a computer science background or deep-rooted passion for tackling hard technical problems, and has substantial expertise across Web3 applications and infrastructure. You thrive on deadlines, communicate clearly across functions, and do your best work in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements
