Job description
Founding Engineer
We’re building the trading platform for any asset, anywhere. Today, we process $100M+ in daily volume, serve 40k+ daily users, and operate at a 9-figure run-rate. The product is live, growing fast, and moving real money. We’re looking for an exceptional engineer who wants to build at the center of it.
Why join
- You’ll join a small team building a product already moving serious volume, with direct ownership from day one.
- If you want a comfortable corporate job, this probably isn’t it.
- If you want to build, ship, own, and get rewarded for being exceptional, we should talk.
What you’ll work on
You’ll work directly with the founders across core product and infrastructure:
- This is a high-ownership role. You’ll take ambiguous problems, make good decisions, and ship fast.
Who we want
- We care less about where you worked and more about what you can build.
You’re a strong fit if you:
- Stack: TypeScript, Rust, Next.js, Jotai, TailwindCSS, PostgreSQL, uWebSockets
- Trading UX
- Real-time systems
- Performance and reliability
- Crypto rails
- Internal tools
- New product surfaces
- Write fast, reliable, high-quality code
- Own projects end-to-end without heavy management
- Move quickly without creating chaos
- Communicate clearly
- Care about product, users, and business outcomes
- Want to work closely with founders
- Thrive in an intense, high-speed startup environment
How we work
We work hard because the opportunity is massive and the team is small. But we don’t do fake urgency, meeting bloat, or hours-as-a-KPI. We care about ownership, judgment, execution, and visible progress.
You’ll get:
- Compensation & benefits
- We pay aggressively for exceptional people. Compensation can include:
- No rigid PTO policy. Take time off when you need it, communicate clearly, and own your commitments.
- High autonomy
- Low bureaucracy
- Direct founder access
- Fast decisions
- Clear expectations
- Trust over micromanagement
- Highly competitive base salary
- Meaningful equity
- Performance-based upside
- Relocation support
- Meals / DoorDash support
- High-end equipment
- Flexible PTO
