About the role

At Event Horizon Labs, we’re building an autonomous system that turns raw compute and data directly into alpha, executing without the friction or bias of human emotion.


What You’ll Build

  • High-Concurrency Pipelines
    Architect infrastructure that seamlessly handles thousands of concurrent requests, ensuring consistent performance even at peak load.
  • Robust, Fault-Tolerant Systems
    Build reliable frameworks that gracefully manage the complexity of trading — where resilience and uptime are paramount.
  • Foundational Technology
    As part of our founding team, you’ll have the autonomy to shape core infrastructure decisions and lay the groundwork for future engineers to build upon.

What We’re Looking For

  • Top-Tier Systems Design Expertise
    Deep experience with distributed systems, networking, and the art of optimizing database performance at scale.
  • Containerization & Cloud Mastery
    Strong proficiency in Docker, Kubernetes, and modern cloud environments to deploy, monitor, and scale AI infrastructure globally.
  • Proven Record of Scaling & Performance
    Demonstrated ability to push databases and systems to their limits—experience with high concurrency, complex query optimization, and near real-time data processing.

Why EHL?

We’re a small, high-caliber group of engineers and researchers obsessed with pushing the boundaries of AI systems. If you’ve been honing your skills at the top echelons of programming, research, or system design—and want to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI infrastructure—this is the team where you can truly stand out.
