Staff Software Engineer

Overview

At Andalusia Labs, we build foundational economic infrastructure for programmable global markets, connecting capital, computation, and coordination across the internet. Our work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, finance, and machine intelligence, with the goal of growing the world’s programmable GDP.

Our team has shipped massively scalable systems and products at Coinbase, Google, AWS, Microsoft, X, TikTok, Goldman Sachs, and High-Frequency Trading firms. We are backed by Coinbase, Mubadala, Lightspeed, Bain Capital, Pantera, Framework, Digital Currency Group, Proof Group, Nima Capital, Naval Ravikant, Arthur Hayes, and founders, GPs, and executives from organizations like Founders Fund, Google, and Coinbase.

Role

We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to lead 0 to 1 and 1 to N systems that power programmable markets. You will own critical architecture, ship high-performance services, and raise the engineering bar across the stack. You will work directly with founders and product partners to turn new primitives into production systems that handle high usage.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery of core services across networking, consensus and execution, tokenization, exchange, settlement, and data pipelines
• Design, implement, and operate high-performance services in C++, Rust, Go, or Solidity
• Profile and optimize systems for throughput, tail latency, memory, storage, and network efficiency
• Build correctness and safety with invariants, property-based testing, fuzzing, static analysis, and thorough reviews
• Own production reliability with clear SLOs, on-call readiness, alerting, dashboards, and incident response
• Create and maintain internal libraries, developer tooling, and CI to speed delivery and raise code quality
• Write clear design docs that explain tradeoffs and drive sound technical decisions
• Collaborate with engineers, lead design and code reviews, and raise the engineering bar
• Partner with product, research, security, and go-to-market to scope milestones and ship new capabilities
• Model and implement financial primitives and risk logic with rigorous testing and telemetry
