About the role
Event Horizon Labs – San Francisco (in‑person)
We’re a small, tight‑knit team building autonomous research infrastructure from scratch. The orchestrator, the agents, and the compounding knowledge base are already discovering profitable strategies and scaling with each new model release. These are founding roles with competitive salary and equity.
The next breakthrough isn’t a better model — it’s infrastructure for autonomous problem‑solving. Markets are the first domain because feedback is immediate, signals are verifiable, and outcomes are directly monetizable. What we’re building doesn’t stop at markets.
Team members come from Citadel, Jump Trading, Stanford, Caltech, and Berkeley.
You’ll build the platform everything runs on: design the orchestration layer that dispatches parallel research sessions, the data pipelines that feed them, the observability that monitors them, and the trading systems that act on what they find. Distributed systems meets autonomous AI infrastructure.
You might work on
- Compute scheduling and resource allocation across hundreds of agents
- Streaming data pipelines for real‑time market ingestion
- Agent observability, experiment tracking, and reproducibility at scale
- Low‑latency trading system design and optimization
Details
- Stack: Python, Go, Kubernetes, streaming data, low‑latency systems
- Location: San Francisco (in‑person)
- Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful founding equity
