Lead Software Engineer — Autonomous Trading AI

Senpi (by Airstack) is your AI edge in the market. Built over 3 years by the team at Airstack, Senpi is an autonomous onchain trading agent that automates buys, sells, sentiment analysis, portfolio tracking, and more.

Where others are still pitching marketplaces and agent concepts, Senpi is live and actively trading. Users today are already running autonomous crypto strategies powered by Senpi — with a growing ecosystem of plugins, signals, and AI-driven automations.

Backed by top-tier investors (Superlayer, Superscrypt, NGC, Polymorphic, and more), and built by the team that pioneered AI x Blockchain with Airstack, Senpi offers a rare chance to work at the cutting edge of autonomous agentic finance.

If you want to shape how AI and onchain systems intersect and scale — this is for you.

Your Mission

You’ll own architecture and technical roadmap for Senpi’s most critical systems:

• Onchain Indexing & Signal Layer. Design and scale ultra-low-latency onchain data pipelines to feed agents' live state from EVM chains. Optimize for completeness, correctness, and speed — indexing everything from txs to wallet portfolios to social signals.

• AI Inference & Autonomous Agents. Architect highly available inference layers for LLMs + ML models (local + remote). Build resilient pipelines that power decisioning, auto-trades, sentiment analysis, and intelligent triggers.

• Plugin + Extensibility Framework (Eliza Skills + MCPs). Evolve Senpi’s developer platform to enable safe, composable autonomous behaviors. Support devs building AI-native plugins and modular commands that integrate seamlessly into Senpi agents.

• Smart Trading Automation + Execution. Own execution reliability across swap routers, aggregators, and marketplaces. Senpi trades need to be trustless, automated, and fast — while protecting users from slippage, dumps, and poor fills.

• Scale, Reliability, Observability. Senpi is always on. You’ll ensure infrastructure is performant, observable, and resilient as user + transaction volumes scale massively.

• Technical Leadership + Mentorship. Lead a senior team through architectural decisions, hands-on contributions, and roadmap delivery. Drive the engineering culture forward.

What You Bring

• 8+ years backend engineering experience (distributed systems, real-time infra, scalable architectures).

• Deep crypto and onchain data experience — EVM indexing, RPC optimization, trace/log processing, state reconciliation.

• Proven experience building AI/ML inference serving layers — orchestration, caching, batching, token/embedding processing.

• Expertise with modern backend languages (Golang, Node.js, TypeScript, Rust preferred).

• Strong database experience (ClickHouse, Postgres, MongoDB) and data modeling at scale.

• Prior experience building autonomous agents, bots, trading infra, or other high-reliability event-driven systems.

• Passion for owning end-to-end infra — from design to dev to deploy to debugging.

• Leadership mindset — capable of setting vision, influencing cross-functional teams, and mentoring engineers.

Why This Role Is Different

• Direct ownership — You will architect the core agent infra. No middle layers, no “platform teams”. You ship.

• Live product, real users — Senpi is already trading autonomously. This is scale + growth, not prototyping.

• AI + Crypto + Extensibility — Not just trading bots — agents with skills, social context, and plugin ecosystems.

• Massive upside — Early equity, token upside, and leadership opportunity in what could become the default agentic finance platform.

• Proven founders + team — Battle-tested shipping onchain and AI products at scale since 2016.
