Job Description

We are building the Post-Human Trader.

At Event Horizon Labs, we’re building an autonomous system that turns raw compute and data directly into alpha, executing without the friction or bias of human emotion.

  • High-Concurrency Pipelines

Architect infrastructure that seamlessly handles thousands of concurrent requests, ensuring consistent performance even at peak load.

  • Robust, Fault-Tolerant Systems

Build reliable frameworks that gracefully manage the complexity of trading — where resilience and uptime are paramount.

  • Foundational Technology

As part of our founding team, you’ll have the autonomy to shape core infrastructure decisions and lay the groundwork for future engineers to build upon.

  • Top-Tier Systems Design Expertise

Deep experience with distributed systems, networking, and the art of optimizing database performance at scale.

  • Containerization & Cloud Mastery

Strong proficiency in Docker, Kubernetes, and modern cloud environments to deploy, monitor, and scale AI infrastructure globally.

  • Proven Record of Scaling & Performance

Demonstrated ability to push databases and systems to their limits—experience with high concurrency, complex query optimization, and near real-time data processing.

  • Passion for AI Infrastructure

Familiarity with vector databases and a drive to solve cutting-edge technical challenges in AI. Previous research or advanced competition experience in machine learning or related fields is a huge plus.

  • Extraordinary Intellectual Achievements

IOI/ACM-ICPC medals, top placements in elite competitions, or groundbreaking scientific publications. We firmly believe such accolades often reflect the insight, creativity, and dedication we prize on our team. We’re a small, high-caliber group of engineers and researchers obsessed with pushing the boundaries of AI systems. If you’ve been honing your skills at the top echelons of programming, research, or system design—and want to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI infrastructure—this is the team where you can truly stand out.
