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.

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!
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
