Build and extend scalable backend API integrations for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, supporting same-chain and cross-chain trading, routing, orderbooks, TWAP, and perpetuals. Collaborate with product managers and backend engineers on system design, feature proposals, code reviews, documentation, and reliable infrastructure. The role requires strong TypeScript backend experience, EVM integration knowledge, familiarity with Hyperliquid protocols, and comfort working independently in a remote team.
This is a remote position.
This company is a Web3 player offering a unified API to access all on-chain liquidity across major blockchains in order to simplify multi-chain DeFi for traditional financial institutions, fintechs and service providers, for best price same-chain and cross-chain swaps.
They are looking for a Backend Developer with a dedicated focus on integrating Hyperliquid functionalities into their API platform. This role is backend-only (no frontend or design work required) letting you shape core integrations at the infrastructure layer.
Please note: You must be located in the EMEA region. Your application will not be considered otherwise.
MISSIONS
- Extend the company’s API stack to include Hyperliquid ecosystem projects and feature set
- Collaborate closely with the Expansion PM and other backend engineers to improve integrations, routing, and user flows; help evaluate new opportunities for feature extension.

Hyperliquid focus: You are passionate about the Hyperliquid ecosystem and be able to demonstrate your familiarity with the ecosystem — past projects or self-driven exploration are valued
Orderbook fundamentals: You grasp the mechanics of orderbooks and are comfortable working with programmatic trading features
Backend focus: Solid backend engineering background, especially with EVM and integration patterns; front-end or modal design work is not expected.
TypeScript proficiency: Experience building scalable APIs and backend systems in TypeScript.
Independence: Can drive integrations and new feature proposals with minimal oversight, collaborating effectively in a remote-first team.
Cross-chain experience: Experience with bridges and backend infrastructure supporting a multi-chain environment is highly valued.
Bonus: Familiarity with Solana, Bitcoin, or mobile backend development.
