We’re engineers driven by performance, reliability, and meaningful innovation in the crypto trading space. Our team — experienced builders from Amazon, and Google, with academic backgrounds from Berkeley, Caltech, ETH, and MIT — is developing a next-generation trading platform that executes orders seamlessly across 10+ exchanges and dozens of tokens. Here, every line of code matters. Push your work to production, and within minutes it could be driving thousands of trades per hour. It’s fast, impactful, and never dull — the kind of engineering challenge that keeps you sharp and inspired.

Job Responsibility

  • Analyze and tune low-level systems – Perform kernel-level debugging, network stack optimization, and hardware benchmarking to enhance system speed
  • Monitor and profile live trading systems – Collect and analyze real-time performance data, create monitoring tools, and identify bottlenecks
  • Prototype and implement performance improvements – Test new ideas, optimize configurations, and deploy enhancements in live trading environments
  • Collaborate across technical teams – Work with trading, infrastructure, and software engineers to ensure consistent, measurable system improvements

Requirements

  • Senior Expertise (5+ years) with low-latency hardware and software
  • Strong background in Kernel Linux, Network Engineering, and Deep Network Knowledge
  • Understanding of market data feeds, order books, and exchange-level protocols
  • Experience with performance testing tools and scripting

What we offer

  • Competitive, above-market compensation
  • Performance bonus every six months
  • Equity as part of compensation package
  • Opportunity to invest in flagship multi-strategy fund
  • Relocation support (if needed)
  • Flexible working time
