  • Build deep technical context across multiple top blockchain protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) and apply that knowledge to simplify cross-chain operations

Required Skills and Experience:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production services in a service-oriented architecture
  • Proven track record designing, scaling, and maintaining distributed systems handling high-throughput, low-latency workloads
  • Hands-on experience with at least two of the following: Golang, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, or similar infrastructure technologies
  • Direct experience with blockchain protocols or crypto infrastructure (e.g., integrating with Ethereum, Bitcoin, or similar L1/L2 networks)
  • Demonstrated ability to decompose complex systems (monoliths, legacy architectures) into well-bounded microservices with clear API contracts
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
