Applied AI Engineer

Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid - 3 days in-office)

Compensation: $200k - $250k base + Equity

Start Date: Q1 2026

Software engineering is being turned on its head. While tools like Claude and GitHub Copilot are great for repetitive tasks, the real challenge lies in the "Last Mile": building the infrastructure and workflows that allow a team to use AI to its maximum potential without sacrificing the rigors of mission-critical software.

We are looking for an exceptional Applied AI Engineer to join our team in Austin. We are a well-funded ($40M) startup backed by top-tier investors like Paradigm and Electric Capital. We are currently rebuilding the infrastructure of the global financial system—bringing it fully on-chain to make it faster and safer. Your mission is to level up our entire organization’s impact by embedding AI deeply into how we engineer and operate. You will stay at the absolute frontier of AI development, ensuring our team evolves from "using AI" to "effectively managing a team of AI agents" with consistent quality and guardrails.

As a Founding Engineer, you will be a core architect of our trading ecosystem. This is a high-leverage role where you will be trusted with substantial autonomy to make foundational design decisions.
