Who We Are

We’re building two interconnected products:

• Tatv.ai

  – an automated, retail-facing algorithmic trading platform.

to democratize access to crypto and powerful trading tools

The Opportunity

founding product engineer

This isn’t a job for someone who only wants Jira tickets. It’s a role for someone who:

• Wants to help define the product, not just implement it.
• Has a sixth sense for what’s “good enough to ship” vs “must be rock solid.”
• Wants the challenge of owning a live trading system that real people use and trust.

What You Bring (Required Skills)

• Ideally, 4+ years

  in hands-on, full-time software engineering roles.
• Strong

  full-stack skills

  , especially across the

  MERN stack

  .
• Proven experience designing and building

  backend APIs, scalable services

  , and polished

  UIs

  .
• Real-world experience with

  Blockchain/Crypto systems

  — ideally working with node APIs, smart contracts, or exchange flows.
• Solid grasp of

  systems architecture

  : You can model tradeoffs, cache intelligently, and reason about data consistency, failure states, and latency.
• You ship with

  craftsmanship and care

  : logging, tests, devops awareness, and proper config are part of your definition of done.
• You're already

  AI-augmented

  : You fluently use tools like GPT, Claude, Cursor, Agents, or Replit to accelerate coding, testing, and problem-solving.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience with

  NestJS

  or structured back-end frameworks.
• Built or managed

  Telegram bots

  using frameworks like

  GrammyJS

  .
• Have shipped at least one

  consumer-facing product

  to a large or real audience.
• Can point to

  apps, bots, tools

  , or open-source work you’ve led or contributed to.
• Familiarity with

  AI agent frameworks

  or building your own task orchestration logic.
• Prior experience

  managing / mentoring

  junior engineers.

Mindset We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are a

  product-minded engineer

  : You think deeply about what users want, and you often suggest product improvements before anyone asks.
• Take a

  long-term view

  : You’re looking to grow with a team and vision — not bounce from gig to gig.
• Have a

  bias for ownership

  : You don't need tight specs. You’re capable of scoping, architecting, and executing features independently.
• Are

  multipurpose

  : Infra, bots, prompt flows, smart contract interaction — you’re ready to wear multiple hats.
• Move with

  urgency

  : You want to outpace the market, not just keep up.
• Care about

  purpose and outcomes

  , not just completing tasks.
• Are genuinely interested in

  Crypto, DeFi, trading

  , or

  AI systems

  — or better, all of them.
• Use AI not as a gimmick, but as an integral part of your day-to-day

  engineering process

  .
• Understand what it means to

  balance shipping with quality

  : not gold-plating, not cutting corners — just doing things smart and fast.

What You Get

• Founding engineer status

  with direct impact on both product and company.
• The

  opportunity to grow

  with the organization. No role is off limits.

• Competitive market salary.

• Early

  equity/token upside

  with long-term comp potential.
• A career-defining opportunity to build something from scratch — without red tape.
• Autonomy and influence across product, technical architecture, and user experience.
• A highly aligned founder and mission-first environment, where speed and craftsmanship are equally respected.
