• Design and develop smart contracts and blockchain-based applications.
• Build backend services and integrations that interact with blockchain networks.
• Participate in architecture discussions and help shape technical direction.
• Review code, improve engineering standards, and contribute to security best practices.
• Work closely with product and design teams to turn ideas into working products.
• Identify performance, scalability, and reliability improvements across the stack.
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture.
• Stay current with developments across blockchain, Web3, and decentralized infrastructure.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems.
• Professional experience developing blockchain applications or smart contracts.
• Deep understanding of Ethereum, EVM-based networks, or similar blockchain ecosystems.
• Experience with Solidity and modern Web3 development tools.
• Ability to make sound technical decisions and work independently.
• A practical approach to building secure, maintainable software.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

• Experience building DeFi, tokenization, wallet, NFT, or infrastructure products.
• Familiarity with Layer 2 networks or cross-chain technologies.
• Experience working in startups or fast-moving product teams.
• Contributions to open-source projects or active participation in the blockchain community.

• Work on meaningful blockchain and AI projects with global clients.
• Join a team that values ownership, curiosity, and technical excellence.
• Flexible remote-first environment.
• Competitive compensation and performance incentives.
• Learning and development support for conferences, certifications, and training.
• Opportunity to help shape products and technical direction from an early stage.

We believe exceptional engineers should be rewarded for the value they create.

Annual base salary: $180,000 – $260,000 USD

Compensation is determined based on experience, technical expertise, location, and overall impact. In addition to base salary, eligible employees may receive performance-based bonuses, equity participation, or token incentives where applicable.

Exceptional candidates may be considered above the stated range.
