We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up.

We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

• Advance our high-availability and low-latency ML inference infrastructure that runs both predictive ML models and LLMs.
• Optimize low latency streaming pipelines to give our ML models the freshest and highest quality data.
• Evangelize state-of-the-art practices on building high-performance distributed training jobs that process large volumes of data.
