Golang Jobs in Web3

pubGENIUS is a React.js and Next.js development agency and ad-tech startup. We build websites and apps for clients across the US and Europe, specializing in decentralized finance (DeFi, crypto, NFT, blockchain), fintech, and healthcare, with occasional work in e-commerce and other verticals.

Beyond client work, we operate our own high-revenue web product with a website, mobile app, and machine learning systems powering our ad-tech optimization engine. Performance is not a preference here, it is a core requirement.

This is a full-time independent contractor engagement. You will work hands-on at a senior level where site speed and server performance are core success metrics. You will work directly with stakeholders to set technical direction, remove bottlenecks, and ship production-grade code.

Engagement Details:

• Type: Full-time independent contractor
• Hours: Full-time commitment expected
• Location: Remote (US, Canada, UK, Ireland or Netherlands)
• Clients: US and Europe
• Rate: Competitive, based on experience
