Autograph is hiring a
Web3 API/ Backend Engineer (Junior/ Mid)

Compensation: $25k - $35k *

Location: CA Santa Monica, California, United States

The Role:

We are looking for a junior to mid-level Backend Engineer to join our Tech Team. This individual will play a role in helping to maintain, refine, and grow Autograph’s APIs and core services. Autograph’s backend infrastructure touches a large array of technologies and you will have an opportunity to learn and grow across them. Our APIs are a living, breathing thing and there is a lot to do to keep them healthy and maintainable.

Responsibilities:

  • Feature development for core infrastructure and APIs. Everything from helping write the code to testing to documentation.
  • Maintenance and scaling of our existing services. We have a backend which interacts with a plethora of services and platforms (everything from partner APIs to blockchains), encodes media in numerous ways, leverages queueing to manage real-time IPFS pinning and token minting, etc. Those services can always be improved.
  • Contribute to conversations around scaling and growing our services. A lot of what we do is new or novel in some way and as a result undocumented or unknown, you are expected to want to explore those things. Document them after.
  • Work in collaboration with Senior Engineers and other teams to implement platform requirements.
  • Write robust, scalable, well-designed software that is easy to maintain and well tested
  • Push and refine our proprietary technologies, platforms, and creative practices

Minimum qualifications:

  • You have experience building APIs and backend services using Nodejs/Typescript/MongoDB (or similar technologies).
  • You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, HCI, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • You want to learn about backend APIs, scaling, distributed systems, blockchains/web3, permanent file storage, etc.
  • You know how to use git and version control
  • You want to learn how to scale complicated things and work on web3.
  • You can take direction and feedback, iterating on your own work using it.
  • You take ownership of everything you do and have opinions on the features you’re working on (and maybe even the state of web3)
  • Open communication and collaboration skills
  • Adaptable and accountable in a dynamic environment
  • Commitment to long term impact

Preferred qualifications:

  • Entrepreneurial spirit and team oriented
  • Previous startup experience
  • You care about documentation and testing
