The Role
We’re expanding our backend engineering team in Latin America to design and deliver the infrastructure behind Nexus’s Layer 1 and its native DEX. As a Backend Engineer, you’ll build the systems and services that make verifiable trading, settlement, and financial data possible — ensuring reliability, speed, and transparency at scale.
You’ll collaborate with protocol, product, and frontend teams in San Francisco while contributing remotely from Argentina or Mexico.
What You’ll Do
Design and build backend services in Node.js and Rust for Nexus’s Layer 1 and DEX.
Develop APIs and data pipelines for trading, liquidity, and on-chain verification.
Build and maintain blockchain infrastructure components (RPC endpoints, explorers, dev tools).
Optimize performance and scalability across distributed systems.
Collaborate with frontend engineers to define data contracts and API interfaces.
Write clean, well-tested code that supports verifiable financial applications.
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience developing backend systems in Node.js, Rust, or similar languages.
Proficiency with PostgreSQL, Prisma, or equivalent data stores.
Understanding of API design, authentication flows, and performance optimization.
Experience with distributed systems, financial infrastructure, or blockchain.
Excellent communication skills in Business English (spoken & written).
Bonus Points For
Experience building or scaling financial systems (exchanges, payments, clearing).
Familiarity with blockchain architectures, smart contracts, or consensus protocols.
Exposure to DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS).
Experience in high-performance or low-latency system design.
Why Join Us
Build the backend systems powering the Layer 1 for Verifiable Finance.
Collaborate with experts across blockchain, AI, and financial infrastructure.
Shape the foundation for a verifiable, transparent, global trading system.
Thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact engineering environment.
What does a back-end developer in Web3 do?
A back-end developer in web3 typically works on the server-side of a web application, using technologies that are specific to the decentralized web (also known as Web3-related)
This might involve building and maintaining the infrastructure that supports decentralized applications (dApps), or developing the underlying smart contracts and blockchain-based systems that power those dApps
In general, the goal of a back-end developer in web3 is to create the technologies and tools that enable users to interact with the decentralized web in a secure and seamless way.
