About Us

Steakhouse Financial’s mission is to pioneer open and transparent finance. We build transparent, efficient, and accessible financial primitives to power the next generation of capital markets on public blockchains. We empower leading DAOs and crypto-native companies including Kamino, Sky (FKA MakerDAO), Lido, Morpho, Ethena, and ENS through strategy, risk, and financial advisory. Our focus areas include real world assets (RWAs), stablecoins, curating efficient lending markets, market making, and actively participating in markets via proprietary trading to enhance liquidity and overall market health.

We are gathering the best minds in finance, engineering, legal, data, and risk to build the future of finance.

About the Role:

As the Lead Kamino Market Infrastructure Software Engineer , you’ll be a force behind the software infrastructure powering efficient DeFi markets. You’ll not only develop and maintain critical systems, but also play a key role in shaping the future of Solana financial markets through your code.

Our current infrastructure already monitors and operates our Kamino and Morpho vaults across chains(#1 DeFi curator with >$1.5B TVL). We are looking for top talent to build the most robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure for vault curation as we expand with best in class partners on Solana.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and own the Python market infrastructure stack for Kamino
• Develop a reallocation engine that consumes real-time on-chain and off-chain data to drive automated capital allocations making our Kamino vaults the most efficients
• Build reliable automated transaction and instruction pipelines to interact efficiently with Solana programs
• Identify data points to enhance risk monitoring and implement real-time mitigation logic directly into the infrastructure
• Create reporting tooling to support both operators and user-facing interfaces.
• Implement rigorous testing, monitoring, and security practices to ensure the reliability, performance, and resilience of the developed software tools and platforms against potential vulnerabilities and exploits

Our Ideal Candidate
