ABOUT YOU
📍We're looking for an engineer experienced in building complex backend systems who is passionate about blockchain technology and is excited to bring new innovations. You don't have to have a background in blockchain, but you need to be keen to learn about it. 📍You have a strong understanding of backend system design and have designed complex distributed systems in the past. 📍You are comfortable writing clean, scalable, and well-tested code. 📍You enjoy working in a fast-paced start-up environment, where you'll need to take initiative and solve problems independently. 📍Pushing code that supports tens of billions of dollars of daily transactional volume doesn't scare you. 📍You are curious and eager to learn new technologies and design patterns. 📍You're not afraid to navigate up and down a deep technical stack.

Preferred Qualifications:
📍Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience. 📍You have conviction in your architecture/designs/ideas but are open minded to share and build solutions with others. 📍Experience with AWS services, particularly related to deploying, managing, and scaling applications. 📍Proficiency in backend development languages, such as Typescript. 📍Experience working with workflow engines. 📍Previous experience with blockchain technologies, smart contracts, and decentralized finance is a strong plus.
