About:
Veda is the DeFi engine powering financial apps enabling platforms to seamlessly create on-chain yield products. Our mission is to unlock DeFi for the world by providing seamless, enterprise-grade integrations for modern finance. Veda's technology powers many of DeFi's largest vault products, including ether.fi Liquid, PlasmaUSD Vault, Lombard DeFi Vault, and Mantle cmETH.Â
At $6B in TVL and 100k+ users, Veda is one of the fastest growing DeFi protocols with a team passionate about DeFi and dedicated to our work. This role will be high impact and have the opportunity to directly shape some of the most critical infrastructure in DeFi.Â
Role:
We’re seeking a Backend Engineer to design, build, and scale the core services powering Veda’s platform. You’ll work across a modern, service-based architecture to deliver reliable, performant systems that power yield products for some of the largest names in DeFi and fintech.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer with a strong sense of ownership, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and experienced in taking products from concept to production. You’ll work 70–80% in code, contributing directly to system design, architecture, and implementation.
Responsibilities:
- Design and build scalable backend systems powering Veda’s API and internal services
- Own projects end-to-end — from scoping and design to implementation, testing, and production delivery
- Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to turn technical debt into modern, maintainable, and highly available systems
- Write clean, well-tested code, and maintain strong CI/CD hygiene
- Deploy, monitor, and scale services in production using modern cloud tooling (AWS, GCP, or similar)
- Contribute to system design discussions covering performance, reliability, and data architecture
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response for production systems
- Continuously identify and drive improvements in system reliability, observability, and performance
Qualifications:
- 6+ years of professional backend engineering experience
- Proven experience delivering production systems end-to-end (scoping → design → implementation → production)
- Strong programming skills in Python or another modern backend language (e.g., Go, Rust, Java, C++)
- Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases (Postgres or MySQL), and service-based architectures
- Experience with version control (Git), unit/integration testing, and CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience participating in an on-call rotation or owning production systems
- Demonstrated ability to design scalable systems and refactor legacy components
Preferred Skills & Experience:
- Experience in fintech, crypto, or other high-availability systems
- Familiarity with asynchronous task queues, event-driven architecture, or distributed systems design
- Prior experience in startups or early-stage, high-ambiguity environments
- Contributions to open-source projects or technical leadership on significant internal initiatives
$170,000 - $240,000 a year
Benefits at Veda
We’re a small, tight-knit team building the infrastructure that powers a new generation of financial products - on-chain, composable, and accessible to anyone. We believe the full potential of DeFi is still ahead of us, and we’re here to help unlock it.
We also believe that great work comes from people who feel trusted, supported, and aligned with the mission. Here’s how we try to make that happen:
Health Coverage
We offer medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees. For international contractors, we work closely to ensure access to appropriate local or global health coverage.
Flexible Time Off
We don’t track vacation days. Take the time you need to rest and recharge—we trust you to manage your schedule.
Remote-First by Design
Our team spans time zones and geographies. We work async, with a focus on autonomy over micromanagement.
Parental Leave
Paid leave is available for new parents, whether you’re the primary or secondary caregiver.
Learning & Development
We offer stipends to support ongoing learning - whether it’s a course, a conference, or something else that helps you grow.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.

What does a Java developer in web3 do?
A Java developer in web3 would likely be focused on developing applications that use the Java programming language in the context of the web3 technology stack
Web3 is a collective term used to refer to the next generation of decentralized, blockchain-based technologies that are aimed at creating a more open and secure internet
In this context, a Java developer would be responsible for writing code that interacts with web3 technologies, such as decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts, to create new tools and services that run on the blockchain
This could involve working with cutting-edge technologies such as Ethereum, which is a popular blockchain platform that uses the Java programming language, as well as other web3 technologies and frameworks.
