Web3 Full Stack Engineer

Full-Time Full-Stack Software Engineer Culldron – Remote

About Culldron

Culldron is an early-stage media-tech startup on a mission to rebuild public trust in news. We’re creating a crowdsourced platform where every story is time-stamped, location-anchored, and cryptographically verifiable on-chain. Readers can trace every claim back to the original source and contributors can truly “own” their insights.

The Role

You’ll own the full web and mobile stack—from pixel-perfect UIs to performant, secure back-end services—and play a founding-team role in technical decisions, culture, and future hiring. Expect to:

• Design & build Culldron’s v1 web and mobile applications (React/Next.js or similar) and complementary REST/GraphQL APIs.
• Integrate smart-contract interactions (Solidity/Hedera or comparable EVM-compatible chain) for content minting and reputation tokens.
• Implement AI pipelines that ingest user-generated text, run verification/summarization models (OpenAI, LangChain, custom fine-tunes), and surface trustworthy narratives to the feed.
• Architect scalable cloud infrastructure (Azure/GCP/AWS—you’ll help pick) with emphasis on observability, CI/CD, security, and cost discipline.
• Mentor a team of interns, guiding them in best practices while keeping velocity high.
• Collaborate closely with the founder on product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and technical debt trade-offs.
• Set the bar for documentation, testing, and code quality in a green-field codebase.

You Might Thrive Here If You Have

• 2+ years building production web applications end-to-end.
• Fluency in TypeScript and a modern front-end framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.).
• Strong back-end chops in Node.js/Express, Python/FastAPI, or Go; SQL & NoSQL data modeling; and familiarity with event-driven patterns.
• Hands-on experience deploying to a major cloud provider, using containers (Docker/K8s) and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation).
• Curiosity or experience in Web3 primitives—signing, wallets, on-chain storage, smart contracts.
• Comfort reading research papers / API docs for AI models and shipping quick POCs.
• A bias for shipping, paired with the judgment to know when to refactor.
• Excellent written & verbal communication.

Bonus Points

• Prior work on news, social, mapping, or crowdsourcing products.
• Exposure to Hedera or tokenomics design.
• Startup zero-to-one journey or technical-lead experience.
