Company: PAX Markets (YC W25) Location: Menlo Park, CA Website: https://pax.markets PAX Markets is building a crypto exchange on a single silicon chip, aiming to be the fastest exchange from crypto to Wall Street. We offer ultra-low latency market access (nanosecond tick-to-trade) for HFT participants via our unique on-chip λ API, and zero-fee trading with cash rebates for all other users. Role: Founding Software Engineer We are seeking a talented and driven Founding Software Engineer to join our early-stage team. As a founding engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and deploying the core software infrastructure of the PAX exchange. This includes building robust backend systems, developing APIs (including enhancing the λ API), and potentially working across the stack. You'll work closely with hardware engineers and the founding team to bring our vision of a nanosecond-latency exchange to life. Responsibilities: * Design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance software systems for the exchange. * Develop and implement core trading functionalities and APIs. * Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with the custom silicon/FPGA platform. * Contribute to system architecture decisions and technology choices. * Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. * Help shape the engineering culture and processes of a growing startup. Ideal Candidate: * Strong proficiency in systems programming languages (e.g., C++, Rust, Go, Java). * Experience building low-latency, high-throughput systems, preferably in fintech or HFT. * Understanding of financial markets, exchange architecture, and trading protocols is a plus. * Experience with network programming and distributed systems. * Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) and potentially FPGAs. * Ability to work independently and take ownership in a fast-paced startup environment. * Passionate about cryptocurrencies, trading technology, and building innovative products. * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field.
