Founding Software Engineer

About the role

Event Horizon Labs — San Francisco (in-person)

We're a small, tight-knit team building autonomous research infrastructure from scratch. The orchestrator, the agents, the compounding knowledge base are already discovering profitable strategies and scaling with each new model release. These are founding roles with competitive salary and equity.

The next breakthrough isn't a better model — it's infrastructure for autonomous problem-solving. Markets are the first domain because feedback is immediate, signal is verifiable, and outcomes are directly monetizable. What we're building doesn't stop at markets.
