Description

  • Design and build core systems for a new product from scratch.

  • Comfort operating with high autonomy and incomplete information in a 0-to-1 product environment.
  • Experience in trading systems or exchange infrastructure is a strong fit.
  • Experience in DeFi protocol engineering is a strong fit.
  • Experience in fintech backend systems, such as payments, custody, or execution, is a strong fit.
