About the job
About HyperSignals
HyperSignals is at the forefront of developing a cutting-edge perpetual trading platform that prioritizes execution, transparency, and reliability.
Our product is uniquely social and driven by signals, featuring live positions and real-time trade replication. The technical challenge lies in constructing systems that maintain speed and accuracy, even under heavy load and during market fluctuations.
As an early-stage company, we embrace a technical-first approach. We do not deal with a legacy stack, nor do we have a cumbersome roadmap. We operate without the traditional divide between product and engineering. Our objective is to assemble a compact, highly skilled team capable of creating and managing robust trading infrastructure from the ground up.
The Role
We are seeking a visionary Founding CTO to spearhead the technical foundation of HyperSignals.
As our first senior technical hire, you will have the autonomy to shape how our system is designed, constructed, and maintained in a production environment. This role goes beyond management; you will write essential code, evaluate significant system decisions, and establish the standards for our engineering practices.
You will collaborate closely with the founder on a daily basis. Decisions are swift, challenges are real, and priorities will evolve as we gain insights. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in ambiguous situations, adept at making trade-offs, and willing to take accountability for failures.
If you have experience in building or managing trading systems and seek comprehensive ownership instead of a narrow focus, this position is made for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will define and oversee the complete technical roadmap for HyperSignals, which includes:
Translating the product vision into system architecture, technical milestones, and actionable execution plans.
Designing and constructing real-time, low-latency trading infrastructure, including:
Order routing and execution systems
Risk management checks and safeguards
Trade mirroring and execution guarantee systems
Creating and enhancing core platform systems for:
Live position and PnL tracking
Real-time data feeds and event-driven workflows
Managing production infrastructure and ensuring reliability:
Cloud architecture and deployment strategies
CI/CD processes, monitoring, and incident response protocols
