ICME | San Francisco, CA, United States | $100k - $150k |
Software Engineer
On-site — San Francisco, CA
Salary — 100k - 150k
About ICME
ICME is building internet-native capital markets for private companies.
We enable startups to offer liquid token markets that are backed by real, enforceable rights to equity. Instead of episodic fundraising, gated access, and years of illiquidity, ICME makes private ownership continuously tradeable, while keeping a direct link to real cap-table equity.
Since launch, ICME has grown from 0 to $36M+ in monthly trading volume in under three months. The team includes experienced founders and investors, including Bill Tai as a co-founder, with backing from CZ’s family office, YZI labs, ACTAI Global and angels.
The Role
We’re hiring a Founding Software Engineer to help build the core systems behind tokenized private-company ownership and continuous-market liquidity.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You’ll work directly with the founders on product, architecture, and execution, and you’ll help set the technical foundation for the company as it scales.
What You’ll Do
- Build and run the core systems behind our equity-backed markets, from smart contracts to the backend services that support them.
- Work on the token-to-equity conversion path end to end, making sure it behaves exactly as expected under real market conditions.
- Take ownership of reliability and security by thinking through edge cases, writing strong tests, and anticipating how things can break.
- Write specs when they help, review code carefully, and work with external reviewers to stress-test the system.
Technologies
- Languages: TypeScript, Solidity (bonus), Rust (bonus), and others as needed
- Backend & tooling: Node.js, modern testing frameworks, internal tooling
- Infrastructure: cloud services, CI/CD, monitoring
What We’re Looking For
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems.
- Comfort working across the stack, from application code to lower-level systems.
- Experience with distributed systems or financial infrastructure.
- A security-conscious mindset and attention to detail.
- A good person with good morals.
- High ownership, good judgment, and the ability to iterate quickly.
