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!
