Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Own the engineering of the Nexus Exchange end-to-end — the matching engine, risk engine, settlement, data indexing and storage, the API/CLI/SDK surfaces, the oracle, and the infrastructure that runs it all.
- • Set direction and stay hands-on in the highest-leverage code.
- • Anchor the Exchange Infrastructure specialization while carrying the full org-wide Head of Engineering mandate.
- • Own the architecture, lead the org, drive product and business outcomes, and make the team the most productive it can possibly be.
- • Build the full Exchange and all its sub-components: matching engine, risk engine, settlement, data indexing, cold data storage, API / CLI / SDK, oracle, and the underlying infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform).
- • Lead the engineering org — senior engineers plus pods — managing timelines, roadmaps, and resourcing.
- • Drive product and customer outcomes, business-minded first; drive urgency and high-frequency iteration.
- • Make the org the most productive and efficient it can be.
- • Own end-to-end automation of engineering processes: agent infrastructure, logging, telemetry, observability — “closing the loop” with self-improvement loops and maximizing organizational context for agentic execution.
- • Design team structures and incentives with the CEO and exec team.
- • Manage an international, distributed workforce.
- • Drive quality infrastructure — telemetry, observability, and thorough automated testing (e2e, property, fuzz, invariants) — and set the bar for code review, on-call, and incident response, with particular rigor on money-handling paths.
- • Grow ICs and tech leads.
- • Communicate via design docs, RFCs, and post-mortems.
🎯 Requirements
- • 8+ years building production software, including 2+ years in an engineering leadership capacity (tech lead / staff / principal / architect across multiple teams).
- • Proven high-throughput, low-latency systems experience and strong command of concurrent/parallel systems.
- • Deep hands-on stack fluency: Rust, Go, Next.js/TS or Node, GCP.
- • Architecture chops with sound correctness / latency / throughput / operability trade-offs.
- • Business-minded and outcome-driven.
- • Resilient and logical — clear-headed under pressure, reasons from first principles.
- • AI-forward: excited to use the latest AI tools and to push automation across the org.
- • Has mentored senior engineers and grown tech leads.
- • Fluent written and spoken English; async-first with meaningful US Pacific overlap (naturally strong for a U.S.-based hire).
- • Exchange-specific: deep exchange / trading-systems or comparable transaction-processing architecture; matching / risk / settlement correctness; market data (indexing, cold storage); API / SDK / CLI surfaces; oracle design.

About Nexus Mutual
Nexus Mutual is a decentralized insurance protocol built on Ethereum that enables members to share risk through discretionary coverage products. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, the platform uses a mutual structure governed by NXM token holders who collectively underwrite smart-contract failure, exchange hacks, and other crypto-specific risks. Members stake tokens to assess claims and receive rewards, while policyholders purchase cover priced algorithmically based on staking levels and historical loss data. The protocol operates transparently on-chain, replacing traditional insurers with peer-to-pool risk sharing and automated claims assessment.
