⢠Act as a senior technical voice in feature design, architecture, and product direction
What You Bring
⢠Deep experience with Solidity, EVM fundamentals, and production smart contract deployments
⢠Strong backend engineering skills with TypeScript and frameworks such as NestJS
⢠Experience integrating blockchain systems with game or real-time environments
⢠Strong understanding of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards, indexing, and access control patterns
⢠Ability to operate as a hybrid builder who works across smart contracts, backend systems, and product decisions
⢠A track record of ownership on complex features or systems
⢠Experience in gaming, digital economies, or highly interactive worlds is strongly preferred
Bonus Experience
⢠Experience with The Graph or custom indexers
⢠Familiarity with contract auditing fundamentals
⢠Background in multiplayer or competitive gaming systems
⢠Experience in a startup or small-team environment
⢠Exposure to game engines or real-time rendering tools
Why This Team
You will join a team of senior engineers, artists, and storytellers with experience shipping products across AI, blockchain, gaming, and entertainment.
