About Paradex

Paradex isn't just another decentralized exchange; it's the Everything Store for Finance. We've combined three powerful financial primitives—Exchange, Asset Management, and Borrow/Lend—all seamlessly composable and accessible through one unified account that uses your entire portfolio as collateral, including spot and derivative assets. Trade 250+ markets on a super exchange with zero fees, better-than-CEX liquidity, and institutional-grade privacy, all built on a blazingly fast blockchain.

Backed by top-tier investors and incubated by Paradigm, we're scaling fast and building a team of mission-driven engineers to redefine what's possible in decentralized finance. You'll work directly with our CEO and a small, elite team of builders in the trenches every day, pushing the limits of performance and UX.

Fair warning: this is not an easy place to work. We will push you hard. But you'll grow faster than you thought possible, and you'll do some of the most meaningful, high-impact work of your life. You'll own what you ship end to end, tackle real technical challenges (not just UX tweaks), and help shape the future of decentralized finance. Join us on the frontline
