  • Spend approximately 50–80% of working time writing production code in Go and TypeScript.
  • Design, build and operate scalable backend services across their full lifecycle.
  • Build systems integrating with smart contracts, blockchain infrastructure and Web3 services.
  • Design and operate blockchain indexing and data processing systems.
  • Lead AI-first practices, mentor engineers and partner with cross-functional technical teams.

Who you are

  • You have at least 8 years of professional backend software engineering experience with technical leadership responsibilities.
  • You have recent experience in a DeFi, blockchain or Web3 company as a Tech Lead or Senior Engineer.
  • You have expert-level Go experience and strong professional TypeScript experience.
  • You have deep expertise in distributed systems, event-driven architectures and cloud-native platforms.
  • You have strong experience building secure, scalable and highly available production systems.
  • You understand blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, blockchain indexing and Web3 backend development.
  • You have practical experience with Cursor AI or a comparable AI-native engineering environment.
  • You have applied AI-assisted engineering across architecture, implementation, testing, debugging, documentation and code review.
  • You have experience with agentic software delivery workflows and helping teams adopt AI.
  • You have excellent system design, communication and technical leadership skills.

Nice to have

  • Experience with MCP-based engineering workflows.
  • Experience building internal AI engineering platforms or developer productivity tooling.
  • Experience with multiple blockchain ecosystems beyond EVM.
  • Experience with Terraform, Kubernetes or advanced cloud-native infrastructure.
  • Cloud, Kubernetes, security or blockchain certifications.
