Web3 Backend Engineer

BlockFi is looking for Backend Engineers to join our growing team!

About Your Team

Our teams are globally remote working across different time zones and regions. Engineers at BlocKFi are pragmatic problem solvers that are excited to tackle some of the most interesting challenges in the Crypto-FinTech arena.

We’re building out the products and infrastructure that powers our business. Our stack is largely Elixir on the backend, so if you have Elixir or Erlang experience it would be a *huge* plus. That said, if you are a polyglot engineer with a diverse background that includes Functional Programming, and you're interested in learning Elixir, then we’d love to hear from you!

Your Mission

The product teams at BlockFi encompass UX, UI, Design, and Engineering in a seamless cohesive whole. As part of that product team, you will:

• Build, test, and deploy products using Elixir and other backend technologies & tools while working cross functionally to deliver on the product map for your team
• Promote scalability and reliability across all aspects of our systems by advocating for continuous improvement within code standards and testing; using ExUnit to write high-value automated tests.
• Participate in architectural design meetings & code reviews with Platform Architects, Tech Leads, and Product Managers.
• Independently execute on your deliverables with accountability, proactively identifying and escalating blockers in real-time
• Mentor, coach, train other engineers on the team; reviewing code, paired programming, etc.

Your Expertise

• You have 5+ years with one or more object-oriented or functional programming languages, with a desire to learn and work with Elixir
• You have previous experience building and deploying applications on AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure, and are familiar with the services that one or more of these platforms offer
• You have experience designing and/or implementing REST APIs
• You have a passion for writing concise, performant, and extensible code to create reliable and scalable products
• You have experience building or using distributed systems, and can confidently talk to their architectures and trade-offs
• You write tests, and have experience with continuous integration and deployment tools
• You have experience profiling and optimizing the performance of code you write
• You have experience working on a globally distributed team as part of a remote workforce, or you have a desire to work in a globally distributed, remote environment
• You value collaboration, both for yourself and your peers, and are thoughtful in your communication when sharing ideas or opinions
• You're able to build relationships across departments and operate semi-autonomously, unblocking yourself and peers when needed
• You have experience and/or a desire to be a technical mentor to engineers on your team

Your Perks:

We benefit from the great work our employees do each day. That is why we are committed to providing a variety of awesome benefits to help them live their best lives.

• Competitive salary because we value your experience and expertise
• Unlimited vacation / sick days because everyone deserves time for R&R
• Employer contribution towards health coverage (including vision & dental) because your physical health and well-being is important to us
• Various fringe benefits such as 401k, Parental Leave, FSA/HSA, and Employee Assistance Programs because health coverage is more than just choosing your yearly plan
• Flexible work environment because we are a geographically dispersed team and we believe in balance
• Pet insurance because all of your beloved family members should have coverage too
• Weekly lunch stipend because there is such a thing as a free lunch!
• A close-knit team of enthusiastic, collegial and driven people to work alongside in a highly meritocratic environment because teamwork makes the dreamwork
