About the role
Most prediction markets are built for outcomes that take days or weeks to resolve. We're building for markets that resolve in seconds.
You'll be joining Maybe, an Improbable venture focused on solving that challenge. That means tackling problems most teams have avoided: creating and resolving live markets automatically, working with data fast enough to support real time decisions, and building pricing models for markets that may exist for only a few moments.
As a Founding Engineer, you'll play a central role in solving those problems. You'll define the architecture, build the core systems, and help shape the product from the ground up. Your decisions will influence not just what we build now, but how the product scales over time.
This is a hands on role with real ownership from day one. You'll work closely with the GM, moving quickly from prototype to product in a zero to one environment.
What you'll do
- Own the technical roadmap from early research and prototyping through to production
- Design and build the core systems behind live market creation, pricing and decision making
- Make key architecture decisions, balancing speed, reliability, cost and scale
- Build quickly, test ideas early and strengthen what works after validation
- Work closely with the GM to shape the product experience, not just the underlying technology
- Collaborate with infrastructure partners
- Use AI tools and agents as a practical force multiplier to speed up thinking, building and delivery
What we're looking for
- Experience building and shipping production systems, ideally in early stage or fast moving environments
- Proven ability to design systems where speed and reliability genuinely matter
- Strong Python and TypeScript experience
- Familiarity with blockchain products or on chain systems
- Good product judgement and the ability to connect technical decisions to user outcomes
- Familiar with Solidity and EVM based development, including writing, deploying and interacting with smart contracts
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and making progress without a fixed playbook
- A hands on, practical mindset with a bias towards shipping
