Senior C Engineer, Core Engineering Lead

New York (on-site)


A crypto-native prop firm hiring a senior C engineer to lead its core engineering group. Hands-on and technical, not a step away from the code.


Why it's worth a look

  • You lead the core engineering group while staying hands-on. Real scope, real ownership.
  • Team out of Tower, Goldman and Citadel Securities with a CTO from Citadel Sec.
  • No regrettable turnover since inception. Good people join and stay.
  • Comp is not the constraint, and they will wait out a long non-compete.


What we're looking for

  • 7 to 12 years in low-latency C from a top-tier firm.
  • Hands-on senior engineer who can lead a core engineering group
  • Deep systems and performance background
  • No crypto experience required if the technical bar is met


Comp: not an issue for the right person, with tolerance for a 12 to 15 month non-compete.
