**Hiring CTO: Lean Trading Platform (Mid-Frequency, Equity-Driven)**
A pre-revenue crypto startup is building a hedge fund-grade trading platform on a $50/month budget. Crypto, equities, futures, mid-frequency focus—no HFT. No clients, no cash, just big upside. Need a scrappy, security-obsessed CTO who ships fast.
**The Build:**
- Pull live feeds (Binance, Alpaca) into ClickHouse with Python.
- Hide alpha logic tight—Cython, containers, whatever works.
- Execute trades securely (seconds-scale latency’s fine).
- Lock it down—zero-trust, no fancy hardware, $50/month infra (Linode).
**You:**
- Built real stuff—fintech, crypto, or wild side projects.
- Hacker mindset—security’s your jam, not an afterthought.
- Self-taught, all-in—degrees don’t mean squat, execution does.
- Gets markets—the signal/trade game, not microsecond chases.
**The Deal:**
- Now: $1k-$2k/month stipend (ramen fuel) + 5-15% equity (vests when we hit “live trading”).
- Later: $150k+ + profit share when we’re funded or trading.
- Trial: $500 for a 2-week micro-project—prove you can ship.
