About the role

Areas of focus include dynamic fee markets, JIT‑aware liquidity protections, programmable compliance for RWAs, solver/intents integrations, perps/credit primitives, and beyond.
Why this role exists - Hooks are the frontier.
Uniswap v4 turns AMM behavior into a programmable surface.

Rockstar is recruiting for a leading organization dedicated to advancing decentralized finance (DeFi) through innovative protocol engineering and product design.
This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of DeFi, collaborating with a team committed to building impactful, open financial infrastructure. v4 Hooks Architect A senior builder is sought who operates at the intersection of protocol engineering and DeFi product design.
This individual will design, prototype, and productionize Uniswap v4 hooks that unlock new markets.
The ecosystem needs more production-ready hooks to go from tinkering to real usage. - Builders need partners.
accelerate onchain trading activity and protocol support across Uniswap deployments.
Own the full lifecycle from whiteboard to an audited mainnet deployment that advances the roadmap (fee dynamics, liquidity management, MEV/LVR capture, KYC/attestations, JIT, etc.). -
Co‑create adoption plans with other DeFi protocols (lending/ALMs/vaults), aggregators/routers, intent layers, asset issuers.
Threat model hooks, define invariants, fuzz and formally verify critical paths, and partner with external auditors. -
able to reason about incentives, MEV, LP/trader UX, and distribution realities. - A portfolio of shipped, battle‑tested contracts and public design docs, posts, or talks.
Test-driven design practices.

3+ years smart‑contract engineering, with 2+ years shipping production DeFi at protocol teams (DEX, lending, perps, bridges, market making infrastructure, oracles). - Deep Solidity and EVM internals
comfort reading/implementing community smart contracts..
Strong understanding of liquidity routing infrastructure - aggregators, routers, and solvers. -

Intentional about building for target markets instead of randomly throwing ideas.
There is no one DEX design that fits all use cases, so markets are approached with different lenses - Ethereum volatile pairs, stable‑stable pairs, BTC‑fi pairs, RWAs and also chain dynamics (Arbitrum vs Base vs Mainnet vs Unichain). -
The client is a mission-driven foundation supporting the growth, decentralization, and sustainability of the Uniswap ecosystem, with a focus on driving value across protocol innovation, developer support, governance, research, and security.
