About us
Flashbots started in 2020 as a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities and existential risks posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). Since then, we have had an immense impact on the world of crypto through mev-geth, Flashbots Protect, MEV-Boost, MEV-Share, our open research and soon-to-be SUAVE.
Our mission is clear: illuminate, democratize and distribute.
We seek to ensure that the value created on decentralized, public blockchains is transparent and distributed. We do this by conducting cutting-edge research, building mission-critical products, and coordinating a diverse community with competing interests.
Our vibe is irreverent, anarchic, excellent, autonomous. We’re explorers, hackers, builders, thinkers. We are relaxed, composed, and at ease in the world, but beneath our suave exterior, we do not have the time or inclination to be anything but the best.

If you're an software engineer with a passion for Linux optimization, infrastructure automation, and blockchain technologies, we want to hear from you!

Solid background in backend services and API development
Battle-tested maintainer of distributed systems, with a track record of long-term software support and a deep understanding of cryptography and security best practices

Proficiency in Go or Rust
Familiarity with smart contracts (Solidity) and blockchain clients
Background in distributed systems or cryptography
Open-source contributions or engagement in technical communities
