We lets anyone turn social-media momentum into a token in secords. From a single X (Twitter) reply, a creator can launch a Solana SPL token, discover price via a bonding-curve marketplace inside the iOS app, and “graduate” to deep liquidity on Meteora and other DEXes as the project scales.Since Its Public Relaunch In April 2025, We've

• Facilitated 250,000+ token launches and >$370 M in aggregate market cap.
• Generated $6.3 M in trading fees in a single day (14 May 2025) and shares 50 % with creators.
• Landed at the nexus of fintech, crypto, creator economy, and consumer mobile—an emerging regulatory frontier.

We are backed by top angels and crypto funds, with a product-first culture and headquarters in SoHo, NYC.Role OverviewAs Head/Director of Engineering, you will be the first dedicated engineering leader reporting to the CEO. You'll spend ~75 % of your time coding (TypeScript) and 25 % building and mentoring a world-class team. Your mandate is to scale our tweet-to-token infrastructure from hundreds of launches per minute to thousands, harden security and reliability, and ship new creator-monetization primitives—while keeping our shipping velocity as our unfair advantage.Key ResponsibilitiesArchitecture & Scaling

• Own the technical roadmap
• Design and implement the next-gen bonding-curve engine and liquidity-migration pipelines (Rust, Solana, Meteora, Helius/QuickNode)
• Drive performance initiatives—sub-second tweet-to-mint flow, autoscaling workers, edge-cache strategy with Cloudflare Workers/Queues

Product Collaboration

• Partner with Product, Design, and Growth to prototype, A/B test, and launch features that improve creator earnings and reduce rug-pull risk
• Translate regulatory and risk insights from Legal into secure-by-design systems (KYC hooks, rate-limiting, circuit-breakers)

Team Leadership & Culture

• Recruit, hire, and develop a high-leverage squad of full-stack and protocol engineers

What We're Looking For

• 5 + years building high-throughput distributed systems, with 3 + years in a team-lead or management role
• Fluency in TypeScript/Node.js; comfortable shipping production code weekly
• Deep experience with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Fly.io), container orchestration, and edge compute (Cloudflare)
• Proven track record scaling consumer or fintech products from zero-to-one and beyond—ideally in crypto, trading, or real-time social apps
• Strong knowledge of relational data modeling (PostgreSQL) and high-speed caching (Redis)
• Passion for clean, delightful front-end and/or mobile UX—even if it's not your daily focus
• Security-first mindset; familiarity with key management, smart-contract audits, and safe roll-outs
• Startup grit: bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and eagerness to jump into any part of the stack when needed
• Nice-to-haves: Rust, Acnchor, Solana

Why us?

• Own the technical future of a breakout crypto consumer product at the moment of explosive growth
• Executive impact: This role will likely progress to a CTO position -> collaborate with the CEO and General Counsel, and shape strategy across product, risk, and revenue
• Competitive package: top-quartile cash, meaningful equity upside, comprehensive benefits
• Mission-driven team: join alumni of Meta, Stripe, Coinbase, and Apple
