ABOUT US

OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time
zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that
will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions.
The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable
pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P.
Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others.
We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We're hiring a Tech Lead for our Hedging team — the team that owns the risk
OpenFX carries.

Hedging owns inventory and exposure management, risk management, hedging
positions across venues through smart routing strategies, market making, Cost,
PnL and net revenue calculation. Every trade a client places creates exposure,
and this team decides what we hold, what we hedge, where we hedge it, and what
it costs us.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a management role. You will
not own headcount,



performance reviews, or hiring decisions. What you own is the
technical direction, quality bar, and execution coherence of the Hedging team's
work — the Risk Management Engine, Smart Hedging, and the position and PnL layer
underneath them. You and the Engineering Manager operate as a closely
coordinated pair: the EM owns the people, the process, and the delivery plan;
you own how the work is designed, how quality is held, and how technical
decisions get made day to day.

You should expect to write code. The strongest Team Leads here lead through
design, review and judgment, but their credibility comes from building.

We're specifically looking for someone with a trading background — you've led or
built systems where a position had to be accurate and a hedge had to fire in
time, and where a bug meant real money. Think a crypto exchange, brokerage, or
trading platform (CoinDCX, Groww, CoinSwitch Kuber, or simi
