About the Opportunity

We are seeking a  Principal Engineer with a deep expertise in autonomous AI agent architecture and deployment, to spearhead the design, development, and optimization of intelligent agent systems on our global crypto exchange platform. This is a senior role requiring a hands-on AI science background combined with strategic oversight, technical direction, and cross-functional collaboration.

 

You will work at the cutting edge of AI and crypto, designing AI agents that can autonomously reason, act, and evolve in complex, real-time environments such as trading, security, compliance, and customer interaction.

What You’ll Be Doing 

  • Lead the design, development, and lifecycle management of autonomous AI agents tailored to crypto exchange operations (e.g., customer assistant, trading bots, risk detection agents, fraud prevention agents, etc.).

  • Architect multi-agent systems (MAS) and frameworks to support goal-directed, reasoning, planning, and reinforcement-learning-based agents.

  • Collaborate with product, engineering, business, and operation teams to define agent roles and measurable KPIs.

  • Drive experimentation, simulations, and continuous learning pipelines for agent performance optimization.

  • Stay ahead of the curve on developments in AGI, LLM-integrated agents, and cognitive architectures; apply relevant innovations to production systems.

  • Mentor and lead a team of AI scientists and engineers; help define the AI roadmap and research strategy.

  • Ensure system scalability, security, and regulatory compliance of AI-powered solutions in the crypto exchange domain.

What We Look For In You 

  • PhD or Master's in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Robotics or related field with at least 10 years of industry experience .

  • Proven experience building and deploying  autonomous AI agents in live environments. Ideal candidates will have:

    • Designed multi-agent frameworks or agent ecosystems (e.g., AutoGPT, OpenAgents, LangGraph, LangFuse, Dify, Coze, etc.).

    • Experience with goal-oriented agents, context engineering, memory management, tool use, and RL-based decision making.

    • Developed agents for real-time decision-making, such as trading, gaming, customer support, or operations.

    • Track record of delivering end-to-end AI systems in fast-paced, high-scale environments (preferably finance, crypto, or high-frequency domains).

Nice to Haves

  • Experience in top-tier AI labs or Tech industry leaders

  • Experience in high-frequency trading, fintech, Web3, or crypto platforms is a strong advantage

  • Startups or research-intensive environments preferred; must be comfortable operating with ambiguity and speed

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package
  • L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development
  • Various team building programs and company events
  • Wellness and meal allowances
  • Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants
  • More that we love to tell you along the process!
