Job Description
Staff Backend Engineer
MLabs
• You’ll own core systems inside the Agent Runtime — the infrastructure that prevents autonomous agents from destroying capital. • Hyperfeed data pipeline — executing the enrichment roadmap: OI velocity, funding history, liquidation data, cross-asset flow detection. Server-side computation at scale. • Runtime execution layer — serial signal processing, atomic state management, idempotent order submission, risk enforcement against live exchange state • DSL exit engine — the trailing stop-loss state machine that protects every open position. Two-phase architecture, exchange reconciliation, state recovery • Scanner subsystem — building new scanner types, optimizing the provider layer, wiring new Hyperfeed signals into the confluence scoring system • Learning agent infrastructure — building the systems that let agents observe every trade, identify failure patterns, propose runtime improvements, and launch new experiments autonomously • Scale — taking the runtime from hundreds of agents to tens of thousands
