Software Engineer (Java Generalist)

Location: US - Open to Europe if happy to overlap with EST

Compensation: $160K - $200K

Our firm has been retained by a high-growth, mission-driven technology company to find a world-class Principal Java Systems Engineer. This is not a role for "glue" engineers who connect off-the-shelf components; this is for the engineer who sees performance ceilings as a personal challenge and prefers squeezing 30% more throughput out of clean Java over renting 30% more cloud compute.

Our client is building a high-performance, publicly visible immutable ledger. In an industry where people "move fast and break things," this team operates like NASA: moving fast while ensuring correctness, performance, and efficiency are 100% right the first time. You will join an elite team where you aren't a cog in the machine—you are the architect building it.

Key Responsibilities:

Senior Software Engineer (Onchain Signal Infrastructure)

Location:

Compensation: $180K - $250K

We are building a foundational layer for the next generation of financial markets: perpetual markets based on onchain economic activity. Instead of merely pricing assets or narratives, our platform allows traders and autonomous agents to take directional exposure to the growth or decay of applications, protocols, and infrastructure within the onchain economy.

We deploy directly into the Hyperliquid ecosystem, optimizing discovery and execution through our dedicated application. As a member of our early-stage team, you will work at the intersection of quantitative finance, crypto market structure, and high-performance onchain data systems.

Your mission is to build the signal layer and APIs that make autonomous trading agents materially more effective. You won’t just be moving data; you’ll be converting raw market behavior into high-fidelity, agent-readable signals.

What You Will Do

Founding Product Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (In-person)

Compensation: $150K – $200K • 0.10% – 0.25% Equity

We believe the way engineering output is measured today is fundamentally broken. Our mission is to build the definitive platform for understanding how engineering teams work, using modern AI to surface meaningful insights about productivity, quality, and collaboration—without the vanity metrics.

As our Founding Product Engineer, you won’t just be writing code; you will be defining the technical foundation and product direction of the company. You will work directly with our CTO (a former founding engineer) and CEO (a seasoned sales leader) in a small, intense, and highly collaborative environment. Your primary goal is to build things customers love.

What you’ll do:

Founding ML Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (In-person)

Compensation: $150K – $200K • 0.20% – 1.00% Equity

We believe the way engineering output is measured today is fundamentally broken. Our mission is to build the definitive platform for understanding and improving how engineering teams work by using modern AI to provide a far more accurate, actionable view of productivity, impact, and collaboration.

As our Founding ML Engineer, you will build the ML systems that analyze and enhance the work of software engineers. You aren't just joining a team; you are setting the standards and processes that will make every future model and feature possible. You will work directly with our CTO (a former founding engineer) and CEO (a seasoned sales leader who has scaled teams to $30M ARR) in a small, intense, and highly collaborative environment.

What you’ll do:

Founding GTM Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (In-person)

Compensation: $100K – $140K • 0.01% – 0.10% Equity

We are building the premier software platform designed to help elite engineering teams move faster. Trusted by over 150+ high-growth customers and backed by a $4.2M seed round from top-tier investors (including Y Combinator), we have maintained double-digit month-over-month growth since mid-2025.

As our Founding GTM (Go-To-Market) Engineer, you will be the bridge between our technical product and our customers. This is a rare "ground floor" opportunity to work directly with our CEO (who scaled multiple teams from $0–$30M ARR) and our CTO (formerly a founding engineer at a successful startup). You aren't just selling; you are shaping how millions of engineers and leaders understand their work.

What you’ll do:

Founding AI Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (In-person)

Compensation: $150K – $200K • 0.10% – 0.25% Equity

We believe that the way engineering output is measured today is fundamentally broken. Our mission is to build the definitive platform for understanding and improving how engineering teams work. By leveraging modern AI, we provide teams with a far more accurate and actionable view of productivity, impact, and collaboration—moving beyond vanity metrics and surveillance toward better engineering outcomes.

As our Founding AI Engineer, you will be responsible for building the intelligence that understands the nuances of software engineering work. You aren't just implementing models; you are building the processes and standards that will define our technical foundation. You will work directly with our CTO (MIT alum, founding engineer background) and CEO (experienced sales leader) in a high-intensity, $4.2M seed-funded environment.
