NFTPort is hiring a

Web3 Protocol Engineering Lead

Hey there 👋

Are you an Engineering Lead who would love to be part of building and scaling the leading NFT infrastructure? NFTPort is Stripe for NFTs - One-Stop & Simple NFT Infrastructure & APIs used by 30 000+ developer teams, including industry leaders such as Protocol Labs, Nifty Gateway, etc.

NFTPort's mission is to empower developers to break up today’s data monopolies and make the Internet ownable by citizens. If you vibe with the mission and are enthusiastic about building NFT infrastructure for your fellow devs in the Web3 world, then you fit right in.

We are a team of ex-NATO, Amazon, Nvidia, etc. and funded by world-class investors such as Atomico, Protocol Labs, Jaynti Kanani (Co-Founder of Polygon), Jutta Steiner (Co-Founder of Polkadot), Balaji Srinivasan (ex CTO of Coinbase), Jaan Tallinn (Co-Founder of Skype, early investor of DeepMind), Taavet Hinrikus & Sten Tamkivi (Co-Founders of Wise & Skype).

Your role

Your main focus will be managing a team of software engineers in order to design, build and scale our NFT infrastructure. There's a wide variety of really hard technical challenges we need to solve - from minting 10K NFTs/sec in a distributed way to scaling our real-time and low-latency NFT infrastructure which span all the L1 top blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Flow and layers 2's, as well eventually building the core functionality as a decentralized protocol. You’ll be working on the full cycle of a team - having technical background to lead the team to the right direction and make sure the team has everything to succeed, conduct goal setting and reviews, hiring, pulling up the sleeves as needed, ensuring smooth co-operation with product and other teams. And not to mention the most important - team delivery.

Team Mission

Your team’s main focus will be on designing, building and scaling our decentralized NFT infrastructure protocol which reads and writes NFT data at low-latency, high throughput and reliability across different chains. This means architecting, developing, testing and shipping an end to end NFT data indexer which ingests new blocks and constructs NFT data state, handling data pipelines with TB's of data, ensuring reliability even when a single chain goes down, etc. We are still relatively small team (but growing fast) meaning there's a wide variety of really hard technical challenges you can help the team solve - from scaling our real-time and low-latency NFT infrastructure indexer to integrating it with the overall protocol which will span all the L1 top blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, Flow and layers 2's (Polygon).

By the end of your year one, your team will have shipped a core part of our NFT data indexer.
