The Solana Foundation is a non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland, dedicated to the adoption, decentralization, and security of the
Solana network. Solana is a high performance blockchain that can deliver a fast and friendly user experience, without sacrificing
security. The Solana Foundation is working to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and
transfer information and value freely around the world. We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and
use their expertise to help the ecosystem build.
Solana Foundation is seeking a Trading Growth Lead, Americas to find the desks, exchanges, and capital that move real volume in
the region and win them onto Solana. Trading is one of the key use cases of Solana and covers spot, perps and prediction markets.

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. Airbnb's infrastructure is scaling fast in the AI era: more compute, more GPU spend, more complexity across the stack. The Infrastructure Performance team exists to make sure that growth doesn't come at the cost of speed, reliability, or efficiency. We treat performance as a first-class engineering property - measurable, continuously improving, and enforced across the software lifecycle. This is the most senior performance engineering role at the company. In this role, you won't be handed a roadmap. You'll build one. The Performance team owns performance across the full stack: CPU and GPU fleet utilization, backend service efficiency, end-to-end request latency, storage, ML infrastructure, and observability. That means instrumenting and profiling at scale, discovering hot paths, shaping how teams across the company think about performance SLOs, and influencing build vs. buy decisions on emerging hardware and software. The team also builds the tooling that lets every backend team self-serve performance insights, scaling good decisions beyond your direct involvement. On the product side, as the TL for Performance team, you will partner with engineering teams to tie infrastructure performance directly to user experience and business outcomes. When a host's listing loads faster or a guest's search returns cleaner results, some of that is the win enabled by the Performance team. Why this role is unusual Most performance engineering roles are reactive: triage a regression, close the ticket. This one is different. You'll be setting the strategy, defining what "good" looks like, and building systems that make performance a default property of how Airbnb ships software. That requires someone who can operate at both the systems level and the organizational one. If you've been waiting for the chance to shape how an entire company thinks about performance, this is it. Responsibilities What you'll do: * Define and drive Airbnb's long-term performance strategy, spanning product performance, infrastructure efficiency, and business objectives for scale and growth * Lead the architecture and development of performance profiling and instrumentation infrastructure, covering CPU, GPU, memory, request hot paths, utilization, and deployment events, making these capabilities available to all backend teams * Partner with infrastructure teams across compute, reliability, backend frameworks, and AI Infra to ensure the fleet operates at optimal utilization * Connect performance outcomes to business objectives and company-wide SLOs, and guide engineering teams in keeping the stack scalable and efficient * Evaluate emerging hardware and software technologies, engage with the external solutions ecosystem, and advise on build vs. buy decisions in areas of strategic importance * Mentor and technically uplevel engineers across the organization through design reviews, architectural guidance, and performance best practices About you: * 12+ years of performance engineering experience in high-scale, high-growth production environments * Deep understanding of how software and hardware systems interact at scale, including architectural patterns for performance-critical stacks. You know the difference between a bad algorithm and a bad cache eviction policy, and you're comfortable in the kernel, in the JVM, and in a post-mortem * Strong familiarity with public cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) * Experience with profiling and instrumentation tooling across CPU, GPU, memory, and distributed request tracing * Demonstrated ability to define performance objectives and drive delivery against company-wide SLOs across multiple organizations. * You know how to move organizations, not just codebases: you've influenced teams that don't report to you, made the case for long-term investments over short-term fixes, and mentored engineers who went on to do exceptional work * Strong communication and influence skills; comfortable driving technical direction with senior engineering and product leadership Your Location: This position is US - Remote Eligible.

We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and use their expertise to help the ecosystem build. THE OPPORTUNITY Solana Foundation is seeking a Trading Growth Lead based in APAC to find the desks, exchanges, and capital that move real volume across the region and win them onto Solana. Trading is one of the key use cases of Solana and covers spot, perps and prediction markets. Lending and the rest of DeFi matter here because they feed trading: margin, collateral, capital efficiency. You own the accounts and how you win them — whether that be via incentives, VIP treatment, and or direct access to the product teams when a desk needs something built. This role is primarily outbound and relationship-focused. The ideal candidate already has an existing book of trading relationships across APAC and a track record of moving real volume in the region. TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL: * Own outbound to trading counterparties — prop shops, HFT firms, market makers, quant funds, OTC desks, onchain-native trading firms across APAC. Build the map of who moves volume and the paths to reach them, then get in the room. Understand what each desk trades and what it needs to route that flow onchain: execution quality, order types, margin and collateral treatment, listings, fees. Put together the offer that wins the flow and close it onto Solana venues. * Structure and manage counterparty relationships — negotiate terms and rebates and work with the Trading and DeFi team on the agreements and economics. Work directly with the application and protocol teams to relay what a counterparty needs to route flow (order types, margin treatment, listings, collateral support) and push to get it built or prioritized. Once a counterparty is live, own the relationship: escalation, VIP support, and the follow-through that turns a first trade into growing flow rather than a dormant account. * Secure allocators and LPs — the capital that seeds and deepens Solana markets. Bring allocators, funds, and large LPs onchain and keep them there. Much of the region's institutional and market-making capital concentrates across APAC hubs such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo, and this reaches beyond APAC where those relationships route global flow. * Own the numbers — volume and open interest on Solana-native venues, active trading counterparties, desks and firms onboarded, allocator and LP capital brought on, programme ROI. WHO YOU ARE: * A native Mandarin speaker — fluent and credible with Greater China desks, funds, and exchanges in their own language, and able to operate across the region's key trading hubs. (Required.) * A closer with an existing book — you already know the big traders, allocators, and LPs across APAC, and they take your call. * Trading-first fluency — you understand market microstructure, perps funding and margin, spot liquidity, and how execution quality and incentives move flow. You hold your own with desk heads and quants. * DeFi literacy to be credible — you understand all the core DeFi primitives and products on Solana and off of it. You understand capital efficiency, and how lending and looping involve leverage and volume, and hold that conversation with the desks who use them. You understand the RWA landscape and what a successful tokenization process looks like as well as what a successful GTM process involves. * A track record of moving volume or flow — at an exchange, market maker, prop shop, fund, or protocol. You can point to flow you were directly responsible for. * An operator who ships — based in APAC, able to run the region and coordinate across EU and Americas hours.
