Overview

Who We Are
Stablecoins are beginning to reshape the global FX market, where more than $10 trillion trades every day. Hibachi is building the exchange designed for that shift.

We are building a modern central limit order book for global currencies with transparent prices, direct access to liquidity, and infrastructure designed for continuous global markets. Our goal is to open FX trading beyond the traditional interbank system and create a venue where global money can move freely.

We are a small team of engineers and traders who have built market infrastructure at Tower Research, Citadel, Coinbase, and Bloomberg. We care deeply about performance, correctness, and building systems that operate at global scale.

Hibachi is backed by Dragonfly Capital, Electric Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Circle Ventures.

About The Technology
Hibachi runs a high performance off chain central limit order book built for fast, private trading and deep liquidity. Zero knowledge proofs allow anyone to verify the exchange’s solvency on chain without revealing user positions. The result is transparent infrastructure built for global markets.

You’ll Be Responsible for:

• Alert Response and Incident Investigation• Own first-response to production alerts - triaging, investigating, and providing invaluable context
• Trace issues across logs, databases, and the codebase to identify root causes, not just symptoms
• Write clear, actionable incident summaries and runbooks so the next incident is easier to handle
• Tooling and Observability• Improve and maintain dashboards so they identify what’s critical to production operations
• Build convenience tooling and automation to reduce operation toil
• Identify gaps in visibility and close them - if something was hard to debug, make it easier next time


This role is scoped as an entry point into a broader SRE function. As we grow, the right person will have the opportunity to own reliability architecture, define SLOs, lead incident processes, and help shape how a serious trading infrastructure team operates at scale.

You’ll Need to Have:

• Experience supporting and monitoring live production systems
• Ability to read and trace through a codebase to investigate an issue - you don’t need to be the one who wrote it
• Comfort writing database queries for debugging and investigation
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch, or similar)
• Clear written communication - your runbooks and incident notes save the day when an issue arises
• Comfort with on-call responsibilities


We’d Love to See:

• Experience in fintech, trading systems, or other low-latency environments
• Familiarity with Web3, blockchain infrastructure, or onchain systems
• AWS navigation experience - enough to find your way around and understand how services connect
• Background in automation, scripting, or building internal developer tooling
• Any exposure to SRE practices, SLI/SLO/SLA, or reliability engineering
