Staff Backend Engineer

Staff Backend Engineer: High-Frequency Trading Systems

Location: Remote - Fully remote in Asia

Compensation: $70K - $80K

We are a high-growth fintech powerhouse operating at the intersection of Prediction Markets, AI, and Blockchain technology. With over $200M in annualized volume and a 100% weekly growth rate, we are rapidly redefining how decentralized markets operate. We are backed by world-class investors, including CMT Digital and AllianceDAO, the premier accelerator for the crypto and AI ecosystem.

We are seeking a Staff Backend Engineer to own and scale the low-latency, high-throughput systems that sit directly in our trade execution path. This is not a "standard" backend role; you will build performance-critical infrastructure where micro-optimizations, architectural correctness, and extreme reliability are the difference between success and failure. You will work in a high-stakes environment where your code manages real money and real volume every second.

Responsibilities

• Core Trading Systems: Design and architect robust backend systems for order routing, real-time execution, pricing engines, and financial reconciliation.
• Performance Engineering: Optimize services for sub-millisecond latency, high throughput, and maximum fault tolerance across a distributed architecture.
• Architecture & Strategy: Take full ownership of architectural decisions with immediate production impact, working directly with the CEO, COO, and founding engineering team.
• Production Excellence: Operate close to the "money flow," ensuring system integrity during periods of extreme market volatility and high-volume bursts.
• Foundational Impact: Act as a technical leader, mentoring founding engineers and setting the standard for engineering excellence as we scale from 100% weekly growth to global dominance.
