## Job description

# Who We Are

Baton Corporation is the development company that builds and operates the entire technology stack behind [pump.fun](https://pump.fun), the largest memecoin launchpad in production today. The systems are low latency, high throughput, live under constant load, and break if you get them wrong.

# **What You’ll Do**

As a Senior Staff Full Stack Engineer, you’ll remain deeply hands-on while shaping the technical direction of our platform across frontend and backend systems. You’ll own the hardest cross-stack problems - performance, scalability, correctness, and architectural coherence in a fast-moving environment

* Architect and build high-performance systems across the entire stack, directly contributing production code in both frontend and backend layers
* Define and evolve cross-stack architecture that scales with user growth, product complexity, and real-time interaction demands
* Lead complex, multi-surface initiatives end to end - from system design and RFC through implementation, rollout, and iteration
* Design clean boundaries between frontend, backend, and blockchain infrastructure, ensuring systems remain modular and adaptable as we scale
* Anticipate systemic bottlenecks (performance, data consistency, infra limits) and proactively design durable solutions
* Drive improvements in performance, reliability, and observability across the stack
* Rapidly prototype and validate new product ideas while ensuring that successful experiments evolve into production-grade systems
* Raise the bar for engineering quality through design reviews, architectural guidance, and hands-on mentorship
* Act as a technical anchor during critical launches, migrations, or incidents that span multiple parts of the stack
* Improve developer velocity by evolving tooling, CI/CD pipelines, testing strategy, and shared abstractions

# Who You Are

* Proven track record of owning large cross-stack systems serving real users under real load
* Deep expertise in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js (or equivalent backend frameworks), with strong architectural instincts
* Comfortable reasoning about distributed systems, data modelling, caching, and client–server tradeoffs
* Able to move fluidly between frontend performance optimisation and backend system design
* Known for solving ambiguous, cross-cutting technical problems that span multiple layers of the stack
* High-agency and execution-driven - you influence direction by building and shipping
* Comfortable setting technical direction without stepping away from implementation
* Experience in high-growth or high-scale environments where systems must evolve rapidly without collapsing under complexity
* Familiar with crypto, DeFi, or blockchain systems - especially real-time interactions, indexing, or wallet-integrated applications

# What it's like to work here

* We work in person
* Hours can be long and unconventional
* The pace is intense
* Expectations are high, and impact is immediate
* Working at Baton is not for everyone

# Why Join Us?

* Unmatched ownership and autonomy
* Exposure to systems operating at the edge of crypto scale
* The ability to ship fast and see real-world impact immediately

If you’re motivated by responsibility, speed, and building products used by massive audiences, you’ll feel at home here.
