Working closely with product, research, and security teams, you’ll own features end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to observability and incident response.
- Build and maintain smart contracts and on-chain components (Solidity, Rust, etc.) for stablecoin issuance, redemption, and peg mechanics.
- Develop and scale off-chain services (backends, payment rails, oracles) that interact with blockchains and external liquidity providers.
- Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery for financial systems handling real funds.
- Collaborate with cryptography, research, and security teams to implement secure protocols and threat mitigations.
- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and post-incident blameless retrospectives.
- Contribute to developer tooling, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines focused on blockchain deployments.
Core Qualifications (Required)
- 3+ years building production-grade backend or distributed systems (or equivalent experience in blockchain infrastructure).
- Hands-on experience with smart contract development or strong understanding of smart-contract architecture (Solidity, Vyper, Rust, or similar).
- Proficiency with at least one backend language (Go, Rust, Python, Node.js, Java) and experience integrating with blockchain nodes / RPCs.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: system design, testing, observability, and debugging at scale.
- Solid understanding of cryptography basics, consensus mechanics, and DeFi primitives relevant to stablecoins.
- Experience with secure coding practices and performing/participating in security audits.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience launching or maintaining a stablecoin, payments platform, or other production crypto-financial product.
- Familiarity with oracle design, liquidity management, risk modelling, or peg stabilization mechanisms.
- Experience with Layer 2 solutions, cross-chain bridges, or interoperability tooling.
- Background in formal verification, fuzz testing, or running smart contract audits.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infra-as-code.
- Contributions to open-source blockchain projects or published research in crypto/DeFi.
