Senior Staff Full Stack Engineer ($500k - $1.5m salary)

Baton Corporation
New York, NY

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. 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.
