Job description
 
                         Senpi is the first  AI Wallet  - a new category of intelligent wallets that think, trade, and protect alongside users.
In just four months since launching on Base, Senpi has processed  285K+ AI auto-trades , achieved a  45% win rate  (~3× higher than typical exchanges), and welcomed  200+ traders  to the “1000% Club.”
Backed with $4M in Seed capital by top investors including Lemniscap, Coinbase Ventures, and SuperLayer, we’re building on a track record of OG Ethereum innovation — from creating one of the first smart wallets approved by Apple to pioneering AI blockchain search.
With millions in trading volume and 75%+ retention already, we’re now rolling out iOS and Android apps, expanding multi-chain, and pushing deeper into perps, futures, and yield strategies.
At Senpi, you won’t just be joining another startup — you’ll be helping reinvent the wallet itself into the intelligent agent of onchain finance.
We’re looking for a  Lead Backend Engineer  to design and scale the systems powering Senpi’s AI-driven trading automations, copy-trading groups, referral rewards, and intelligent onchain infrastructure.
What You’ll Bring
7+ years  of hands-on experience building and scaling production-level backend systems.
Proven experience as  Tech Lead  (or similar leadership role) in a startup environment, driving projects from idea to production under high ambiguity and fast iteration cycles.
A track record of  mentoring and up-leveling engineers  to achieve their full potential.
Mastery of  distributed systems, cloud architecture, and high-performance services .
Ability to  independently own end-to-end projects  — from requirements gathering to design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
Deep experience with  blockchain development : onchain APIs, transaction processing, and scaling decentralized systems.
Familiarity with  crypto wallets, trading systems, and DeFi protocols  is a strong plus.
Proven work with  AI/ML pipelines , including retrieval-augmented generation (RAGs), embeddings, and prompt engineering for LLM-powered services.
Ability to integrate  AI inference and intelligence layers  into production-grade products.
A true  0→1 builder’s mindset , capable of creating systems and processes from scratch in a high-ambiguity environment.
Deep knowledge of  modern development practices  (CI/CD, observability, containerization, etc.) and a passion for applying them to the fast-evolving crypto landscape.
Experience in monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolving critical incidents.
Comfortable with taking on-call responsibilities, leading incident response, implementing root cause analysis, and driving long-term stability improvements.
Curiosity and passion for AI, crypto, and trading, with an eagerness to shape the future of autonomous onchain agents and AI-powered wallets.
