Founding Engineer

Job description:

**Why you should join us**
* We’re building a **research lab** with a real-time feedback loop: the **financial markets**.
* Our edge isn’t secret data or microwaves 
- it’s **the speed at which we iterate and learn.**
* We’re starting in options, where **complexity (read: opportunity) is high** and most firms still rely on human intuition.
* Join a frontier team with **over a decade of experience in quant trading**. These aren’t logos from internships 
- we’ve started and led teams at Optiver, DRW, and Argo AI.
* **Real ownership, fast iteration, zero red tape.** We’re literally putting our $ where our mouth is.
**What you’ll do**
* **Build the core systems** for ingesting data, training models, simulating strategies, and running them live 
- from scratch.
* **Design infra** that helps researchers move fast: feature stores, experiment tracking, feedback loops, monitoring.
* Work side-by-side with the founders to test predictions in real markets and **learn from every outcome** 
- good and bad.
* Make calls on architecture, tools, and priorities. This isn’t a “here’s the roadmap” kind of role. **You hold the pencil.**
**What we’re looking for**
* You’ve **built real systems**: distributed compute, ML pipelines, or infra that powers actual decisions.
* You’re fluent in languages like **Python, C++, Rust**, and you know your way around cloud, containers, and databases.
* You care about **iteration speed, clean abstractions**, and systems that can hold up under pressure.
* You **think like a builder** and have empathy for researchers. Bonus if you’ve worn both hats.
* **Zero finance experience required** 
- just curiosity, drive, and the desire to go deep on a hard problem.
You’ll be given the autonomy to do some of the **best work of your life.**
