About the Role
Our client is building a cutting-edge trading platform that allows users to exchange digital assets seamlessly across multiple ecosystems. Already operating at impressive scale with tens of thousands of daily active users and handling massive transaction volumes, they’ve proven their ability to grow fast while maintaining exceptional technical standards. This is a rare opportunity to join a product-led company solving complex challenges in high-performance, distributed systems - this is not your average startup.
As a Founding Engineer, you'll:
- Build and own core features across the stack - from real-time high-performance trading interfaces to deep backend systems.
- Ship fast, iterate often, and scale systems with any technology of your choice.
- Work side-by-side with the founding team - on the same roof in Austin and help architect a product trusted by real users every minute.
- Embrace a get-it-done, resourceful, and relentless mindset - your code must be performant, reliable, and shipped day after day.
Compensation & Perks
- Living Perk: Accommodation in a luxurious high-rise apartment in Austin with epic amenities
- Daily Free Meals: Doordash on us - every. single. day.
- Huge upside: If you’re a superstar, we’ll pay accordingly - no cap
- Founders close: Collaborate daily with founders and early product leaders; ideal for future founders yourself.
Ideal Candidate
- You’re a highly resourceful engineer who thrives in ambiguity, complexity, and urgency.
- You're committed to writing shipping-ready, robust, and efficient code.
- You’re ready to ship 7 days a week if needed - and be part of something extraordinary.
Why This Matters
- This role is more than engineering - it’s industry-defining. You’ll help pioneer a platform that abstracts away the complexities of DeFi, delivering an all-in-one, ultra-fast, multi-chain trading experience with smart UI, wallet tracking, real-time signals, and yield tools - all built around user experience and massive scale.
