People want to be informed and entertained. Great products make the two inseparable.

Noise is a platform to discover and trade trends. Powered by real-time social data and DeFi rails, we’re building a single app to see how much mindshare something has based on people buying and selling around the world.

It’s a hard problem. Pricing attention, modeling order flow, abstracting UX complexity — Noise is unique in its approach to consumer trading. If you’ve ever been obsessed with market design, or wondered how attention becomes an asset, this may be a powerful mission for you.

Three weeks after testnet release, the platform has facilitated over $2B in trading volume with daily retention holding around 63%. Noise has entered a hyper-growth phase, and we envision it to be a multi-billion dollar company in the next few years.

We previously raised a $1.1M pre-seed in August 2024 from Figment and Anagram.

If you have sharp instincts for systems, markets, and consumer product — come make Noise.

Role

As a blockchain engineer at noise, you will primarily work on shipping features that will enable new financial primitives on attention as an asset class. You will play a crucial part of our Core Product team where you will spearhead the design and implementation of our core smart contracts and backend infrastructure to unlock the simplest markets for users to trade on. We believe in fast iterations and feedback loops, and we’re looking for engineers that can support us with shipping robust and performant code.

Must Haves

Ideal candidate should satisfy the following:

• 4+ years of EVM-based experience developing in Solidity on a live protocol with active users
• 4+ years of backend development experience using Rust/Java (preferred), or any modern server-side language
• Proficient experience in on DeFi Smart Contracts related to perpetuals and binary options
• Interest and passion for building secure, robust, scalable infrastructure
• Familiarity with database internals and high performance database systems
• Culture fit for startups with good work ethic
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work cross-functionally
• Ability to take initiative and ownership of large, business-critical projects with minimal oversight and direction
  
  

Nice To Haves

• Deep understanding of smart contract best practices and current industry patterns
• High-level and low-level system design skills
• Experience in software parallelization, including but not limited to optimistic concurrency and operation pipelining
• Hands-on experience in cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Expertise in building production-grade APIs
• Contributions to open source crypto projects
  
  

Why NOT Noise?

• High Entropy: Chaos is the norm. There is no playbook for building a successful value accrual mechanism for trends. We rapidly iterate our own understanding of how best to grow the platform, and we expect any contributors to be able to do the same.
• Principal Agent Problem: We love what we do and often don’t see it as work, we’re an early-stage startup after all. If work-life balance is something you care a lot about, this is probably not for you.
• Onsite in NYC: We believe that proximity is paramount for early-stage endeavors. We’re in NYC because it’s the highest density of creativity, capital, and high-performing people in the world, and we expect any full-time contributors in-office with us.
  
  

Compensation

To attract the best people, our goal is to provide competitive cash compensation and high upside in the long-term success of Noise. Equity options are subject to the same four-year schedule as the rest of the team.
