📋 Description

• Own architecture across the Exchange domain — and stay hands-on, writing production code in the highest-leverage parts of the system. • Build the full Exchange and all its sub-components: matching engine, risk engine, settlement, data indexing, cold data storage, API / CLI / SDK, oracle, and the underlying infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform). • Lead the engineering org — senior engineers plus pods — managing timelines, roadmaps, and resourcing. • Drive product and customer outcomes, business-minded first; drive urgency and high-frequency iteration. • Make the org the most productive and efficient it can be. • Own end-to-end automation of engineering processes: agent infrastructure, logging, telemetry, observability — “closing the loop” with self-improvement loops and maximizing organizational context for agentic execution. • Design team structures and incentives with the CEO and exec team. • Manage an international, distributed workforce. • Drive quality infrastructure — telemetry, observability, and thorough automated testing (e2e, property, fuzz, invariants) — and set the bar for code review, on-call, and incident response, with particular rigor on money-handling paths. Correctness and performance should be continuously provable, not assumed. • Grow ICs and tech leads. • Communicate via design docs, RFCs, and post-mortems.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years building production software, including 2+ years in an engineering leadership capacity (tech lead / staff / principal / architect across multiple teams) • Proven high-throughput, low-latency systems experience and strong command of concurrent/parallel systems • Deep hands-on stack fluency: Rust, Go, Next.js/TS or Node, GCP • Architecture chops with sound correctness / latency / throughput / operability trade-offs • Business-minded and outcome-driven • Resilient and logical — clear-headed under pressure, reasons from first principles • AI-forward: excited to use the latest AI tools and to push automation across the org • Has mentored senior engineers and grown tech leads • Fluent written and spoken English; async-first with meaningful US Pacific overlap (naturally strong for a U.S.-based hire) • Exchange-specific: deep exchange / trading-systems or comparable transaction-processing architecture; matching / risk / settlement correctness; market data (indexing, cold storage); API / SDK / CLI surfaces; oracle design
