Software Engineer

About Renegade We're building an onchain dark pool. Dark pools are private exchanges for institutional trading — they're an important part of market structure in stock trading, and we're bringing them to crypto. Renegade is DeFi-native; it's fully onchain, with no trusted intermediaries. We've been live since late 2024, raised $20M+ in venture dollars, matched $300M+ in volume, and have a lean team that works in-person in San Francisco. Judge our code quality: https://github.com/renegade-fi/renegade Check out the site: https://renegade.fi/ Read the docs: https://docs.renegade.fi/ About The Role We're looking for one systems-focused engineer to join our team of four. On a team this small, you'll have real ownership and a wide surface area. Example projects: Design a scalable onchain event ingestion + indexing pipeline Debug gnarly distributed-systems issues (e.g. raft / consensus edge cases) Benchmark + optimize our ZK prover stack to raise throughput / rate limits You can shape the role: if you want more customer-facing work, great. If you want to go heads-down and aggressively optimize performance and reliability, also great. About You You’re excited by hard systems problems: trading infrastructure, ZK, distributed systems, performance-sensitive Rust, etc.

You’re also senior-leaning on systems judgment: You’ve built/operated production systems and can anticipate scaling + failure modes You have taste: you push for simpler designs, strong invariants, good observability You can move fast without making the codebase impossible to understand If this fits, we look forward to chatting! #J-18808-Ljbffr
