• Hands-on experience building or integrating blockchain or distributed ledger systems.
• Strong understanding of Layer-1 blockchain protocols and transaction lifecycles.
• Experience building backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components.
• Proficiency in one or more languages such as Go, Java, Rust, or Python.
• Ability to work effectively across custody, security, and platform teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with blockchain indexers, explorers, or chain analytics systems.
• Familiarity with wallet architecture and blockchain signing workflows.
• Exposure to crypto custody platforms or security-sensitive financial systems.
• Strong debugging instincts in distributed, asynchronous environments.
• Experience using AI tooling to support complex software development.

What Success Looks Like

• Blockchain integrations are predictable, observable, and resilient.
