Remote Web3 Full Time Jobs in New York, United States

Who We Are

True Markets is building the next generation of digital asset trading. We empower traders with powerful tools, real-time intelligence, and a secure, intuitive platform.

Founded by the team who launched USDC and scaled the Coinbase exchange business, we’ve built foundational financial infrastructure at global scale. Now we’re re-architecting global markets through stablecoin-powered settlement, cross-border liquidity, and institution-grade trading systems.

Job Description

The Trading Engineer works on the C++ services at the core of the True Markets exchange — the matching engine, the clustered services around it, the market data pipeline, and the REST, WebSocket, and FIX gateways that clients trade through. The work is performance-critical and correctness-critical: order state, sequence integrity, and recovery behavior under failure. This is a growth role, starting on well-scoped pieces alongside a senior engineer and taking on independent ownership from there.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain trading services in modern C++ on Linux.
• Deliver scoped slices of larger projects — a message path, a validation rule, a metric — from ticket to production deploy.
• Work on the market data pipeline: feed handlers, snapshot and sequence handling, client resync.
• Extend the client-facing gateways, including REST, WebSocket, and FIX surfaces.
• Write and maintain automated tests, and use them to prove behavior under failure and restart.
• Investigate production issues from logs, metrics, and dashboards, and follow them to a root cause.
• Support deploys and observability, including Grafana dashboards and Prometheus metrics.
• Participate in code review and keep documentation current.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years writing production systems code.
• Working proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or newer) and its tooling — CMake, gcc/clang, a unit test framework.
• Comfortable developing on Linux: building, running, and debugging services from the command line.
• Understanding of concurrency and memory fundamentals, and why they matter for performance.
• AI-native: Claude Code or comparable agentic tooling as a daily force multiplier, with strong instincts for when to trust it, when to verify, and how to push it harder.
• Clear written communication, and the judgment to ask early rather than stall.

Ideal Qualifications

• Exposure to financial services, trading systems, or crypto — order books, order lifecycle, or market data.
• Familiarity with low-latency messaging or distributed consensus.
• Experience with a database in production, relational or document.
• Networking fundamentals and comfort reading a packet capture or a connection trace.
• Observability practice: metrics, dashboards, and log-driven debugging.
• Infrastructure as code and CI/CD exposure.
• Something built for its own sake — a systems project, a simulator, an open-source contribution.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $125,000 – $175,000 per year, with the opportunity for equity
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Based full-time in our New York City office
