Solana PERP DEX: Superis Labs - Designer

Superis Labs is building a high-performance perpetual futures DEX on Solana. The first production MVP is underway, and early team members will define protocol UX/UI design.

The company is fully backed by ergonia, a crypto-native market-making firm with deep experience trading and building on Solana.

We are starting from a deliberately minimal core and iterating rapidly toward a full-featured mainnet exchange. This is a high-ownership role building production systems under aggressive timelines.
