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.
  • • 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.
  • • Correctness and performance should be continuously provable, not assumed.
  • • 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).

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • • Opportunity to work with a leading blockchain company.
  • • Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
  • • Professional development and growth opportunities.
  • • Flexible work arrangements and remote work options.

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.
