Backend Jobs in Web3

About the team:

We're agile, use scrum, continuous integration and continuous delivery, deploying to production every single day.

Our engineering team is split into organisations which we call Fleets. Fleets focus on a core customer journey (onboarding, security, payments, support, new business, growth and marketing etc). Fleets contain smaller teams called Pods, each Pod owns a specific aspect of the customer journey. Pods are formed of cross functional highly skilled team members from Product, Delivery and Engineering.

Our mission is to put the power of crypto in everyone’s hands.

The role in a nutshell:

We're building teams to help us succeed in our mission to upgrade the world to a better financial system. You’ll be joining a group of highly motivated software engineers who you’ll work collaboratively with across our pods.

As a fast-growing company with offices around the world, you’ll immediately see how your contributions directly impact both our internal users and client experience. Many of the problems we are solving result in trail blazing solutions which can’t be found on Stack Overflow; so we’re looking for engineers who flourish working in a complex domain.

Your mission will be:

• Build distributed microservices that are accessed by 10m customers from across the globe.
• Design, build and maintain advanced applications services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
• Write testable, maintainable code for robustness and reliability.
• Work on bug fixing and improving application performance.
• Write code that directly affects users, the company and the Bitcoin ecosystem.

A little about you:

• A proven background in computer science in areas such as algorithms, data structures, and software design.
• Proficient programming experience in Go.
• A continuous improvement mindset.
• BSc/MSc/PhD in computer science or other technical discipline, or equivalent working experience.
• To be friendly, transparent, articulate and driven to succeed.
