Senior Blockchain Engineer

 I've spent over a decade in software engineering, with the past several years focused on blockchain development, working on projects that emphasize scalability, security, and decentralized solutions. At Chainlink Labs, I’ve contributed to blockchain infrastructure, designing systems that handle high throughput and complex smart contract interactions. Before that, I built scalable systems at companies like Coinbase and Grubhub, focusing on optimizing performance and integrating secure, user-friendly features. I’m looking for a role where I can dive deeper into blockchain innovation—ideally something that combines hands-on coding with opportunities to mentor and collaborate closely on performance-focused, decentralized tech.
