Who We Are

Baton Corporation is the development company that builds and operates the entire technology stack behind pump.fun, the largest memecoin launchpad in production today.

~$1B daily volume. Low latency, high throughput, constant load.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the most critical and complex backend systems, directly writing and shipping production code across core services
  • Lead the design and implementation of high-scale distributed systems that power real-time, high-throughput workloads
  • Set technical direction for foundational backend architecture while remaining deeply involved in execution
  • Make principled architectural decisions that balance iteration speed with long-term scalability, resilience, and maintainability
  • Drive multi-service initiatives that cut across storage, compute, APIs, and blockchain infrastructure
  • Anticipate scaling constraints and correctness risks before they surface, proactively designing durable solutions
  • Establish patterns and standards for observability, reliability, performance tuning, and operational excellence
  • Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, RFCs, and direct mentorship, influencing through technical depth and clarity of thinking
  • Act as a technical anchor during high-pressure incidents, ensuring systems remain stable under load
  • Improve internal developer velocity by evolving tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and service abstractions

Who You Are

  • 10+ years of backend engineering experience, with multiple cycles of building, scaling, and operating distributed systems in production
  • Proven track record of owning foundational backend architecture in high-growth or high-scale environments
  • Deep expertise in Rust, Go, or TypeScript, with strong systems-level intuition
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems design: consensus, failure modes, replication, consistency models, and performance tradeoffs
  • Extensive experience with database design and data modelling, including complex tradeoffs around consistency, latency, and durability
  • Comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems that span multiple services and teams
  • Recognised as a go-to technical authority by senior engineers and peers
  • High-agency and execution-focused. You shape direction by building
  • Crypto experience is a plus

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.

Compensation Range: $500K - $1.5M
