Level: Staff / Principal
Competitive base salary ($175K - $225K)
We are hiring on behalf of our client, a high-growth, venture-backed crypto company, hiring a Staff Backend Engineer to help build next-generation autonomous trading infrastructure.
This is a senior, ownership-heavy role working on real-time trading systems, wallets, and execution infrastructure operating under extreme market conditions. The client is highly responsive and only interviewing candidates who meet all criteria.
Non-Negotiable Hiring Criteria
Hands-on experience with crypto wallets, tokens, and/or trading systems
Deep production experience with Golang, Node.js, and TypeScript
Strong understanding of distributed systems, performance, and reliability
Deep familiarity with trading APIs, execution flows, and transaction lifecycles
If any of the above is missing, this role will not be a fit.
The Role You'll own core systems inside the Agent Runtime — the infrastructure that prevents autonomous agents from destroying capital. Specifically:
Hyperfeed data pipeline — executing the enrichment roadmap: OI velocity, funding history, liquidation data, cross-asset flow detection. Server-side computation at scale
Runtime execution layer — serial signal processing, atomic state management, idempotent order submission, risk enforcement against live exchange state
DSL exit engine — the trailing stop-loss state machine that protects every open position. Two-phase architecture, exchange reconciliation, state recovery
Scanner subsystem — building new scanner types, optimizing the provider layer, wiring new Hyperfeed signals into the confluence scoring system
Learning agent infrastructure — building the systems that let agents observe every trade, identify failure patterns, propose runtime improvements, and launch new experiments autonomously
Scale — taking the runtime from hundreds of agents to tens of thousands
