Important: this role is only for university students.

We are looking for students from math/CS faculties with no full-time work experience, but with strong math skills and experience in math/algorithmic competitions (olympiads, ICPC, etc.).

About the Project

We are building a system to analyze the crypto market and find trading opportunities. We work with different blockchains and centralized exchanges. We already run successful HFT and MEV strategies and want to build many new ones.

The system needs very fast data processing and service-based architecture.
 

Who We Are Looking For

• You are a current university student (Bachelor or Master), preferably:
  • Mathematics / Applied Mathematics
  • Computer Science / Software Engineering
  • Related technical field
• You do not have full-time work experience as a developer.
   
• You have strong math/algorithmic background:
  • Math / informatics olympiads
  • ICPC / Proggy-Buggy / other contests
  • Strong course work in algorithms, probability, statistics, etc.
     
• You really like:
  • Solving hard problems
  • Thinking about algorithms
  • Optimizing and analysing data
     

If you already work full-time as a software engineer, this role is not for you.
 

Tech Stack (What You Should Know at Basic Level)

• Linux
• Docker
• SQL
• Redis
• WebSockets
• REST
   

Nice to have (but not required):

• Web3 or blockchain basics
• CEX/DEX APIs
• Microservices, queues (RabbitMQ)
• Any backend language: C#, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, C++ (we don’t hire by language).
   
  What We Expect from You
• Basic understanding of blockchain and crypto fundamentals: how transactions and wallets work, what DEX/CEX are, and who market makers are (and why liquidity matters).
• You can read and understand technical English (docs, GitHub, articles).
• You can take a task, think about it, ask the right questions, and finish it.
• You are ready to:
  • Work hard on real production tasks
  • Learn fast from seniors and our CTO
  • Take ownership for parts of the system over time
     

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain services for high-speed data processing.
• Integrate with blockchain nodes and crypto exchange APIs.
• Improve reliability, performance, and monitoring of components.
• Propose and test ideas for new trading strategies together with the team.
   

What We Offer

• 6-weeks paid CTO-led internship with real trading systems.
• Flexible schedule (we understand you have university).
• Fast growth in responsibility, if you show good results.
• Unique hands-on experience in crypto / HFT / MEV.
• Performance-based bonuses.
   

Hiring Process

1. Interview with a Recruiter
2. Test assignment
3. Interview with the CTO

About the role

We’re looking for a part-time UI/Web Designer with a strong interface background who can take ownership of web product UI (terminals, dashboards, internal tools, etc.) and also support the team with visual marketing assets when needed (decks, banners, brand materials).

This is a hands-on role for someone who can generate design concepts from scratch, not just adapt existing layouts — and who actively uses AI tools to speed up ideation and production.
 

What you’ll do

• Design high-quality UI for web products: trading terminals, dashboards, web apps, data-heavy interfaces
• Create design concepts and visual directions from scratch (flows, components, style exploration)
• Work in Figma and maintain clean, scalable files (components, styles, reusable patterns)
• Design pitch decks / presentations when needed (layout, visuals, consistency)
• Create banners and marketing visuals (campaigns, announcements, social assets)
• Support brand identity development (visual system, typography/colors, consistency across materials)
   

Requirements

• Strong UI fundamentals + confident execution
• Strong experience designing web interfaces (not mobile-first)
• Ability to create design concepts, not just adapt existing layouts
• Strong portfolio with UI/interface projects
• Confident user of AI tools in design workflows (e.g., Midjourney, ChatGPT, Figma AI, etc.)
   

Nice-to-have

• Experience in Web3
• Especially valuable: understanding of Solana ecosystem and/or trading interface patterns (terminals, charts, order flows, data density)
   

What we value

• Strong taste + attention to detail
• Speed without sacrificing quality
• Systems thinking (components, consistency, scalability)
• Clear async communication and iteration mindset
   

Recruiting process

1. Call with recruiter
2. Test task (up to 2–3 hours to complete)
3. Final call with C-level team
