In TradFi, dark pools account for roughly 40% of US equities volume. That entire layer of market structure barely exists in crypto.\nRenegade brings that infrastructure to DeFi. We match orders at the midpoint of the Binance bid-ask spread, without moving the market, without leaking information, and without leaving the chain. Funds, solvers, and market makers that integrate with Renegade get better price execution, with savings on spreads, market impact, and fees.\nSince launch on Arbitrum and Base, Renegade has processed $336M in all-time trading volume with $100M in daily order flow.\nWe've been live since late 2024, are well-funded by leading investors. We are a lean high-caliber team that works in person in San Francisco.\nYou can see the work directly here:\nDocs https://docs.renegade.fi/\nCode https://github.com/renegade-fi/renegade\nAbout The Role\nWe are seeking a systems-focused engineer to join our close-knit team.\nIn this role, you will have strong ownership of core systems and a wide surface area to make a tangible impact.\nExample projects:\n- Design a scalable onchain event ingestion + indexing pipeline\n- Optimize our hedging stack to improve delta neutrality for altcoins\n- Debug gnarly distributed-systems issues (e.g. raft / consensus edge cases)\n- Benchmark + optimize our ZK prover stack to raise throughput / rate limits\nYou 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.\nAbout You\nYou’re excited by hard systems problems: trading infrastructure, ZK, distributed systems, performance-sensitive Rust, etc. You’re also senior-leaning on systems judgment:\n- You’ve built/operated production systems and can anticipate scaling + failure modes\n- You have taste: you push for simpler designs, strong invariants, good observability\n- You are thoughtful: you can design safe systems that manage 7 figures of onchain funds\n- You can move fast without making the codebase impossible to understand\nIf this fits, we look forward to chatting!","description_format":"text","description_chars":2291,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-04T07:26:17Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T07:00:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.157,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":291,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/renegade-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/renegade-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T21:46:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33188,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":456084},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=456084"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frenegade-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frenegade-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frenegade-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/renegade-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frenegade-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":199652}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"renegade.fi","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":199652},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
