About us


Ambush is an AI company developing AI research & products that accelerate onchain adoption.


We’re building Web3’s first autonomous AI agents to simplify wealth creation & onchain safety.


We’re a lean & hyper performance-oriented team; we are competitive, we like moving fast, and we run head-first towards seemingly impossible ideas. Our entire team is crypto-native & we have a shared North Star of solving web3’s hardest challenges.


Our team is led by one of crypto’s prominent anons, Psycho.


About the role:


We’re hiring a crypto-native backend engineer with proven experience building performant backends & infra for high-growth products that have achieved massive scale.


As our lead backend engineer, you will work directly alongside the CTO to help ensure that our infrastructure & backend is being built to support demanding requirements for performance, security, and scalability.


Because we are an AI company building onchain products, the ideal candidate has a strong general interest in DeFi, and uses LLMs such as GPT, Cursor, Co-pilot, or similar in their daily engineering work flow.


Requirements:



  • 4+ years using Golang in production environment

  • Crypto-native with prior experience building products in web3

  • Experience with microservices architectures and event-driven systems

  • Experience in infrastructure as code using Terraform

  • Solid understanding of PostgreSQL

  • Hands-on experience with software engineering principles covering automation, testing, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and cloud technologies

  • Familiarity with monitoring and analytics tools like Grafana

  • Experience in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, resilient large-scale production applications in distributed environments


Responsibilities:



  • Write well-documented APIs for cross-functional teams to consume

  • Contribute to in-depth architectural decisions

  • Design, develop, and maintain microservices-based systems

  • Manage infrastructure using Terraform in AWS environments

  • Maintain a high-quality production environment using AWS services


Not required, but a strong bonus:



  • Prior commercial experience as a smart contract dev or security auditor

  • Strong Python skills


Why join Ambush?



  • Industry leading pay: strong base salary + uncapped profit share + equity

  • Lean & high-impact team; we hate bureaucracy & will not grow past ~10 people

  • One of the fastest growing AI companies in crypto

  • Proven leadership team with several acquisitions under their belt


Internal full-time hires only, no contractors or agencies
