Layer 1 blockchain developer building trading, payments and network tooling
Aptos Labs builds the Aptos Layer 1 blockchain and products on top of it, running a Rust and Move-adjacent systems stack (Rust, C++, LLVM, WebAssembly, EVM) on GCP with Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi and Helm. Job-post signals point to a push into trading: high-volume trader acquisition, market making, pricing and low-latency execution dominate, alongside a payments API built from scratch. Hiring is engineering-heavy with a senior skew and currently slow.
