About Nexus Nexus is building the foundation for verifiable finance, an economic system where every transaction, order, and settlement can be proven on-chain with cryptographic assurance. To do this we’re developing a DEX Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the AI economy, powered by idle compute from millions of people around the world, and verified with zero-knowledge proofs. This is finance rebuilt for the future: verifiable, scalable, and open to all.
Nexus has raised $25M in Series A funding from Lightspeed, Pantera, Dragonfly, SV Angel, and more.

The Role We’re hiring Blockchain Engineers in Latin America to work at the core of Nexus’s execution stack — contributing to the runtime behind our Layer 1 protocol and the high-performance engine that powers decentralized trading.
This is not a typical backend role. You’ll design, implement, and optimize all layers of the Nexus protocol stack — including consensus, execution, and API/RPC servers — while helping define new financial and trading primitives on the Nexus L1.
You’ll work on performance-critical systems where microseconds matter, building execution paths that may evolve into core protocol primitives. Whether you’re a strong mid-level engineer ready to grow into system ownership or a senior/principal engineer eager to architect high-throughput distributed systems, this role offers the opportunity to build software that runs at the heart of a global execution layer.
You’ll collaborate closely with protocol, cryptography, and product teams in San Francisco while contributing remotely from Argentina.
