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 Senior Backend Engineer 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. You will own significant parts of the Risk Management Engine and Smart Hedging end-to-end — design, build, ship, and operate. This is a hands-on senior IC role with high ownership and accountability - the routing and exposure logic you write today shows up in tomorrow's net revenue. We're specifically looking for someone with a trading background — you've 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 similar). Key Responsibilities Design, build, and operate services across the risk path — inventory and exposure tracking, hedge decisioning, venue routing, and WAC / PnL / net revenue calculation. Own features end-to-end: scoping, technical design, delivery, rollout, and the operational health of what you ship. Drive work to closure with Product, Design, and Operations. You are accountable for adoption, not just delivery. Act as a
