About Us

Zoo is building the next generation of hardware design tools redefining how hardware products are designed, developed, and built. Our platform combines a modern, cloud-native CAD environment with AI-powered engineering workflows, helping teams design, iterate, and manufacture products faster than ever before. We are headquartered in Los Angeles, CA with both a local and remote team. We were founded and incubated by Embedded Ventures in 2021.

About You

We’re looking for curious, innovative, and ambitious self-starters to join our growing team to help us bring our mission to life. We think you’ll thrive on our team if you’re:

  • Curious at your core, with an eagerness to learn and do things differently
  • Customer-focused, always thinking about ways to improve the user experience
  • Able to operate autonomously and work asynchronously, while also being an effective team player

About The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure who can take ownership of the reliability, automation, and evolution of our core systems. You’ll work across the stack, with a strong emphasis on backend, infrastructure, and system-level engineering, to strengthen the foundations that everything else runs on. This role is for someone who enjoys digging into complex systems, building the tooling and automation that keep them running smoothly, and stepping in anywhere (including the frontend) when something needs fixing.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain core systems and services that support our platform’s reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Build automation and tooling that reduce operational overhead, improve developer workflows, and enforce system-level consistency.
  • Develop integrations between our systems and external platforms (e.g., billing, CRM, authentication, analytics).
  • Improve observability, monitoring, and alerting across services to ensure strong operational visibility.
  • Architect and maintain infrastructure components (e.g., distributed services, data pipelines, deployment automation).
  • Contribute to security-focused systems work, such as permissions controls, access flows, and auditability.
  • Troubleshoot issues across services and layers, backend, infrastructure, and occasionally frontend, taking full ownership from diagnosis to resolution.
  • Jump into frontend code as needed to close the loop on system-level changes or fix issues that block broader system reliability.

What You’ll Need

  • B.S. in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong professional experience in systems, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
  • Proficiency in Rust with a solid understanding of systems-level programming.
  • Solid experience with databases (transactional & analytical) including schema design, performance tuning, migrations, and operational reliability.
  • Strong understanding of API design, data flows, and service integrations.
  • Hands-on experience with distributed systems or service-oriented architectures.
  • Comfort working with infrastructure-as-code and containerized deployments.
  • Ability to work autonomously and make high-leverage technical decisions in a fast-moving environment.
  • A bias toward automation and building tools that remove friction.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with frontend development (JavaScript/React) for occasional UI-level fixes.
  • Background with billing systems (Stripe) or CRM platforms.
  • Experience building internal tooling, permissions systems, or developer productivity infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with CAD-adjacent workflows or domain-specific data pipelines.

The salary range for this role is provided below. The final offer will depend on multiple factors including candidate experience, skills, expertise, and market data. Compensation may vary by geography.

In addition to salary, we offer competitive equity as well as a full benefits package which may vary by geography as well.

Salary Range
$145,000—$195,000 USD

Staff Software Engineer

Startup Talents

United States
Full Time
Posted 23 days ago

This is a remote position.

The company is an OnchainGPT for autonomous trading. It is an AI-powered mentor, advisor, and companion that helps users explore the onchain world, find alpha, auto-trade, and outsmart the market.
They are looking for Staff Software Engineer (Backend and AI Infra) who will own two critical workstreams :
- the agent runtime and backend infrastructure that powers every trade in their fleet,
- and the migration of model hosting and agent deployment in-house, moving the company off third-party LLM providers and hosted agent platforms to own infrastructure.
NOTE : This role is NOT a pure Devops role but rather a building role in which you will spend 80% of your time writing Go, Python, and TypeScript that ships to production.
You’re writing the backend services, runtime engine, and deployment systems that the entire company's agent fleet runs on.
When you ship, every agent in the fleet immediately gets faster, more reliable, and more autonomous.
You are in charge of managing the very infrastructure you are building, as its designer you are be the best person to operate it.
You’re building the backend for autonomous AI agents that manage real money in real time.
The runtime you build determines whether positions are protected.
The model hosting you stand up determines whether agents can think.
The deployment pipeline you create determines whether the fleet can evolve.
This is foundational infrastructure for a new category of software.
MISSIONS
Agent Runtime & Backend (+/-50%)
The runtime is the engine that makes every agent work. You’ll own the core systems:
Plugin Runtime — the per-agent process that runs position tracking (10s polling), the RatchetStop exit engine (tiered trailing stops with sub-second evaluation), and DSL state management. Currently Go + Python; migrating to a centralized Go service with Postgres state and real-time websocket price feeds
Scanner Gateway / Rules Engine — a YAML-configurable evaluation layer that sits between scanners and execution. Scanners produce raw signal variables; the rules engine applies gates, scoring, and filters defined in YAML. Users customize trading behavior without touching Python. This is the next major runtime feature
RatchetStop Backend — centralized profit-trailing service that protects positions even when the agent is offline. Evaluates tier upgrades and places stop-loss orders on Hyperliquid via websocket, replacing per-agent polling with condition-based evaluation across all positions
Execution Layer — the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges agents to the company's 48+ platform tools: position creation, clearinghouse state, market data, Smart Money intelligence. You’ll own auth, rate limiting, and the contract between agents and the exchange
Data Layer — enriched Hyperfeed pipeline (top 1K trader positions, momentum events, market concentration) flowing through Redis, Postgres, and ClickHouse. Real-time ingestion, 4-hour rolling windows, and the APIs that every scanner calls
Model & Agent Hosting Migration (+/-30%)
The company is moving off third-party hosted agents and external LLM inference to the company's owned infrastructure. You’ll lead the technical execution:
Agent deployment platform — migrate agents from Railway/OpenClaw to own-hosted infrastructure. Each agent needs isolated workspace, cron scheduling, state persistence, MCP connectivity, and Telegram notifications. Target: deploy any skill from a GitHub repo with one command
Model hosting — evaluate and implement the path from external LLM APIs (Anthropic, Google) to self-hosted inference. Options range from proxied external models with full telemetry capture, to fine-tuned models running on own GPUs. You’ll own the decision and execution
Agent telemetry — capture every scanner evaluation, every trade decision, every signal score across all agents. This data feeds the self-reinforcing loop: agents learn from fleet-wide performance, fork winning strategies, and improve autonomously
Deployment pipeline — CI/CD for shipping scanner updates, runtime patches, and skill configs to 50+ live agents without interrupting open positions. Zero-downtime rollouts where downtime = unprotected capital
Infrastructure & Operations (+/- 20%)
Build monitoring and alerting that catches agent failures, orphaned positions, state corruption, and Auth expiration before they cost money
Manage cloud infrastructure (AWS/EKS) with infrastructure-as-code
Own incident response — in a trading system, every minute of downtime is real dollars at risk
Health monitoring for the agent fleet: which agents are scanning, which are stuck, which have the midnight rollover bug

Requirements

MANDATORY
  • Strong backend engineering — you write production code daily in at least two of: Go, Python, Node.js/TypeScript. Go being the preferred language for the runtime services
  • Experience building backend services from scratch at a startup: APIs, job scheduling, state management, distributed systems
  • Solid understanding of real-time systems where latency matters: websocket connections, condition-based evaluation, sub-second response requirements
  • Production experience with Postgres, Redis, and at least one analytics DB (ClickHouse, TimescaleDB, BigQuery)
  • Kubernetes experience — deploying, scaling, and debugging production workloads on AWS EKS
  • You’ve owned a system end-to-end: designed it, built it, deployed it, operated it, fixed it at 3am
STRONG PLUS
  • Experience with model serving / LLM infrastructure — deploying, scaling, and optimizing inference (vLLM, TGI, TensorRT-LLM, or managed endpoints)
  • Background in trading systems, exchange APIs, or fintech where uptime has direct financial consequences
  • Experience with onchain infrastructure: wallet operations, RPC nodes, transaction monitoring, DEX integration
  • Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent-to-tool connectivity patterns
  • Experience building multi-agent platforms — orchestrating many independent processes sharing infrastructure but operating autonomously
  • Experience with CI/CD for systems where “deploy” means updating live trading agents, not just web servers

Benefits

  • Contract : Permanent role - Remote EU or US
  • Benefits: healthcare and life insurance, retirement plan, sponsored transportation, gym, lunch card, home office equipment, and other perks.
Recruitment process :
  • Video call with CEO/CTO (30mn).
  • Take home coding test
  • Code focus interview with tech teams
  • Final Interview​
