Job Description
As a Backend Engineer of our LLM Application on the Nascent engineering team, you will play a key role in building, scaling, and maintaining the system that powers our LLM infrastructure. From developing backend architecture in Rust to contributing to UI components in React, you’ll be working across the stack to support high-performance, scalable applications. You’ll collaborate closely with technical leadership and contribute meaningfully to the development of systems from the ground up, helping build scalable, performant, production-level applications with regular release cycles.You will thrive in this role if you're a self-directed learner who is excited to take ownership, move quickly, and adapt as requirements evolve. You’ve got experience with performance-sensitive systems, are comfortable with modern frontend frameworks, and bring a scrappy, startup-friendly mindset to solving complex problems. If you’re eager to level up in Rust, build at the intersection of AI and crypto, and build with a team that values curiosity, experimentation, and execution—this is the perfect role for you.
Requirements
- 2-5 years of full-time software engineering experience, ideally as a systems programmer (Rust, C++, GO). Bonus if you have experience with and/or interest in learning Rust.
- Experience supporting a large project from start to finish.
- Experience with some front-end technologies (React, Angular, Vue.js)
- Experience beyond testing (e.g. quality processes, verification & validation)
- Experience building scalable, performant, production-level applications with regular release cycles
- Performance sensitive engineering including multi-threading, streaming data, and concurrency
- Distributed systems, microservices, relational databases
- Familiarity with Cloud platforms and IaC (Terraform and AWS)
- Experience building trading systems is a strong plus, with an interest in and enthusiasm for the crypto space
