ABOUT US

Imagine building systems that think in microseconds — algorithms that move millions with absolute precision.

We’re engineers driven by performance, reliability, and meaningful innovation in the crypto trading space. Our team — experienced builders from Amazon, and Google, with academic backgrounds from Berkeley, Caltech, ETH, and MIT — is developing a next-generation trading platform that executes orders seamlessly across 10+ exchanges and dozens of tokens.

Here, every line of code matters. Push your work to production, and within minutes it could be driving thousands of trades per hour. It’s fast, impactful, and never dull — the kind of engineering challenge that keeps you sharp and inspired.

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE TEAM

Our team is dedicated to optimizing the performance of the full trading system — from hardware to software. Our guiding principle is simple: reduce latency, improve reliability, and make the entire trading pipeline faster and more efficient.

We work on everything from kernel-level debugging and network stack tuning to market data feed handling and real-time system metrics. This involves performance profiling, hardware benchmarking, and creating tools for trace analysis and monitoring.

Our engineers analyze live production data, prototype system changes, and collaborate with teams across trading, infrastructure, and software to ensure consistent performance improvements.

WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE PERFORMANCE TEAM

- Optimize trading system performance – Improve latency, reliability, and efficiency across the full trading stack (hardware, network, and software).

- Analyze and tune low-level systems – Perform kernel-level debugging, network stack optimization, and hardware benchmarking to enhance system speed.

- Monitor and profile live trading systems – Collect and analyze real-time performance data, create monitoring tools, and identify bottlenecks.

- Prototype and implement performance improvements – Test new ideas, optimiz...
