What This Engineer Will Do

Layer-1 Blockchain Integration & Platforms

- Integrate Client systems with existing Layer-1 blockchains (e.g., Ethereum-based or other enterprise-relevant L1s).

- Evaluate and, where appropriate, contribute to building or extending Layer-1 capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs.

- Understand chain-level mechanics such as transaction lifecycle, finality, forks, reorgs, and event propagation.

- Ensure blockchain integrations are reliable under stress conditions and production loads.

Blockchain Infrastructure Components

- Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including:

- Indexers and event processors

- Block explorers and observability tooling

- Chain data services and APIs

- Interoperability and cross-chain integration components

- Ensure blockchain data pipelines are accurate, performant, and auditable.

- Support operational tooling required for troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response.

Wallet Architecture & Development

- Contribute to wallet architecture and development, including:

- Blockchain-facing wallet services

- Transaction creation, signing workflows, and submission pipelines

- Integration with custody key management systems (MPC, HSMs, signing services)

- Ensure wallet implementations cleanly separate protocol logic, security controls, and business rules.

- Partner closely with custody and security engineers to validate end-to-end transaction flows.

Custody-Related Blockchain Workflows

- Share responsibility for custody-related blockchain workflows, including:

- On-chain transaction execution

- Event monitoring and reconciliation

- Chain-specific failure handling and recovery patterns

- Help define safe patterns for interacting with smart contracts and token standards from custody platforms.

- Ensure blockchain workflows align with custody policies, approvals, and risk controls.

Engineering Rigor & AI-Augmented Development

- Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, testable, and observable blockchain services.

- Leverage GenAI and agentic AI tools to accelerate:

- Protocol analysis

- Code development and testing

- Documentation and knowledge sharing

- Maintain engineering rigor-speed without sacrificing correctness or safety.
