This might include searchers (algorithmic logic) for liquidation or arbitrage, the software stack we use to evaluate transactions in the mempool, and our custom clients designed to deliver the most profitable block.

    • Use our data stack to determine the most profitable strategies and mimic them.

    • Proficiency in one or more object oriented languages, such as typescript, golang or python with a flexibility to work in any language.
    • Experience with numerical methods/algorithms in optimization software.

    • Enough SQL skills to do basic analytics of time series data, and willing to learn more.
    • Nice to haves include experience with event-driven systems, Docker, Kubernetes, solidity, and developing smart contracts.
    • Smart and collaborative. These are hard problems with lots of potential solutions. We’re looking for people that want to solve them as part of a team.
