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 Full Stack Engineer at Baton, you’ll work on production systems operating at real scale, alongside a team of highly experienced engineers. This is a hands-on role with immediate responsibility and fast feedback.
Build, ship, and iterate on production features that reach hundreds of thousands of users
Work across the stack, from backend services and data pipelines to frontend interfaces, gaining deep exposure to how large systems are built and operated
Learn to design for performance, reliability, and scalability by working on systems under real-world load
Prototype quickly, test ideas with real users, and refine based on data rather than opinion
Tackle ambiguous, technically challenging problems and learn to reason from first principles with guidance from experienced engineers
Collaborate closely with a small, high-caliber team where code quality, clarity of thought, and execution speed matter
Own features end to end, from initial idea and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
Who You Are
An exceptional early-career engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and the ability to ramp quickly on new systems and codebases
Studied at a top university or demonstrated equivalent ability through competitive programming, Olympiads, open-source contributions, or substantial personal projects
Comfortable working across the stack, with hands-on experience in technologies like TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js (or adjacent modern frameworks)
Curious and intellectually rigorous - you enjoy understanding why systems work, not just how to use them
A strong problem solver who can break down ambiguous problems, reason from first principles, and iterate toward solid solutions
High-agency and ownership-oriented, eager to take responsibility for features end-to-end while learning from more experienced engineers
Motivated by fast feedback, real users, and an environment where what you ship matters immediately
Hungry to learn from exceptional peers and grow rapidly by working on challenging problems at real scale
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.
