Founding Engineer
New York City (in-person) · Full-time · 0–2 years of experience
We're hiring a founding frontend/full‑stack engineer.
The fastest growing companies in the world are pump.fun, axiom, and hyperliquid [all of these were faster to 100M ARR than Lovable, Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.]. We believe this stresses a megatrend that the world is becoming more tokenized, more liquid, and that anything will become tradable [equities, trends, prediction markets, and more].
We're building a platform that enables the lowest latency gamified* trading experience using crypto rails. We've raised a pre‑seed from top VCs and angels in crypto and are looking to grow aggressively.
What we offer
- Your own room in a very luxurious NYC apartment with amenities
- Unlimited upside for salary [base of 150k – 225k, + bonus directly proportional to company performance + a lot of equity]
- Work directly with the founding team in person every day
Preferred qualifications
- Believe in the hypergambling thesis: long degeneracy
- Basic understanding of crypto markets and trading concepts
- Grew up playing video games [Minecraft, LoL, Runescape, Maplestory, CSGO, Fortnite, etc]
- Experience with AWS streaming services, particularly Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS)
- Experience with real-time data handling and WebSocket connections
- Knowledge of financial data visualization and charting libraries
About the interview
- Hackerrank (can choose between backend and frontend oriented)
- Technical interview
- Call with CTO
- Work trial (we will pay you to come in and work with us in our office)
Tech stack
TypeScript, Python, Next.js, TailwindCSS, PostgreSQL, WebSockets
