Requirements
• 3–7 years of professional software development experience • 3–7 years • Strong programming skills and the ability to write clean, testable, and efficient code • A solid grasp of core computer science principles: algorithms, data structures, concurrency, networking, etc. • Demonstrated technical excellence, such as: • Top academic performance in CS, math, physics, or engineering • Competitive programming or olympiad success (e.g., ICPC, IMO, IPhO, IOI) • Internship or full-time experience at a highly selective tech company or fund • Ability to pick up new concepts quickly, take ownership, and communicate clearly • Language ExperienceRust is preferred, but you should have experience in at least one systems or statically typed language such as C++, Java, Go, C#, Kotlin, or similar. • Kotlin • Strong Preference • Strong Preference • Understanding of trading systems, market structure, or strategy implementation • Light Preferences • Light Preferences • Familiarity with DeFi: working with smart contracts, blockchain APIs, MEV, or Solana • smart contracts • blockchain APIs • Solana • Experience in Rust • Comfort with AWS, Grafana, or other infrastructure/observability tools • Grafana • Strong math or statistics foundation, especially around modeling or simulation • Company Culture & Team FitWe’re a close-knit team that values: • Company Culture & Team Fit • High ownership and initiative • Curiosity, intellectual honesty, and rapid learning • Clear, direct communication • Working together toward shared goals — no ego, no politics • We hire people who love building, solving, and improving — and who want to learn from and contribute to a team of exceptional peers.
Responsibilities
• You'll be expected to: • Contribute production-grade code in Rust, Python, and related technologies • Python • Build systems that interact with on-chain protocols (e.g., Solidity, JSON-RPC, Solana, MEV workflows) • Develop and refine real-time monitoring, strategy tools, and execution pipelines • Debug and optimize across the performance spectrum: latency, reliability, throughput • Interface with protocol teams and external projects to support new market opportunities • Grow into end-to-end ownership across DeFi integrations and trading infrastructure
Benefits
• Full Systems Exposure: You’ll gain hands-on experience across the full trading system — infrastructure, strategy logic, execution, and on-chain interaction — giving you rare visibility into how modern algorithmic trading systems work. • Full Systems Exposure: • DeFi at the Core: DeFi is one of the most intellectually rich intersections of software and finance. You’ll learn how protocols work under the hood, and how on-chain dynamics create real trading edge. • DeFi at the Core: • Elite Teammates: You’ll be joining a small, world-class team of engineers, quants, and traders with backgrounds in top-tier firms, academic institutions, and olympiad-level programming competitions. • Elite Teammates: • Startup Velocity: We move fast, deploy frequently, and make decisions quickly. Your work will ship to production fast and have immediate real-world impact. • Startup Velocity: • This is an ideal role for someone who sees themselves as a top technologist and is ready to apply that talent to one of the most cutting-edge environments in finance and crypto. • QualificationsWe’re looking for driven developers who want to grow rapidly by working on hard, meaningful problems. • Hybrid, based in New York City and London • Hybrid • New York City • London • Very competitive compensation, with strong upside based on contribution and performance
