Job description
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Design, implement, test, and operate production systems in a complex trading environment.
- Own the correctness, reliability, and operability of the features you build.
- Actively surface and resolve ambiguity in requirements, product logic, and system behavior.
- Write clear, maintainable code with a strong bias toward simplicity and correctness.
- Participate in incident response and follow through with durable fixes and improvements.
- Collaborate closely with peers through code reviews, design discussions, and shared problem-solving.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Strong engineering fundamentals and sound judgment in complex systems.
- A demonstrated bias toward correctness, reliability, and production ownership.
- Comfort reasoning about non-trivial business logic, stateful systems, and edge cases.
- Consistent self-directed productivity in ambiguous or loosely scoped work.
- Clear, collaborative communication and a strong team-oriented mindset.
Nice to Have
- Experience with trading systems, exchanges, or other high-stakes domains.
- Production experience with Go (Golang) or performance-sensitive backend systems.
- Prior ownership of services in production, including on-call or incident response.
THIS ROLE IS NOT A FIT IF
- You prefer narrowly scoped tasks with fully specified requirements.
- You avoid production ownership or incident responsibility.
- You optimize primarily for speed or novelty over correctness and clarity.
- You are uncomfortable working in systems with significant complexity and real-world consequences.
Why work at GRVT TECHNOLOGIES
- High-growth environment – Headcount grew nearly 50% in the last year, with 15+ open roles across engineering, marketing, BD, and operations.
- Talent density – Team includes veterans from Goldman Sachs, Meta, DBS, OKX, and Bybit. CTO Aaron Ong led privacy frameworks at Meta; CEO Hong Yea was an Executive Director at Goldman Sachs.
- Cutting-edge tech stack – Working with ZKsync, blockchain infrastructure, microservices, Kubernetes, React Native, and a wide range of modern tools (114 technologies detected). Strong emphasis on privacy engineering and high-performance trading systems.
- Remote-friendly culture? – Headquarters in Singapore but employees across 11 countries (including Hong Kong, South Korea, UAE, India). Job postings do not explicitly state remote policy, but the distributed team suggests flexibility.
- Mission-driven – Building an alternative to both centralized exchanges (like FTX failures) and traditional banking, with a clear value proposition: “profit with your users, not from them.”
