Superstate

Job Description

Job Description

Tired of the inefficiencies and complexities of traditional finance? We are too. At Superstate, we create investment products that benefit from the speed, programmability, and compliance advantages of blockchain tokenization.

As an engineer at Superstate, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of tokenized assets. You'll work on blockchain-integrated systems that allow investors to self-custody financial assets, and design the systems, APIs, and infrastructure to make finance itself more efficient.

What you'll do
  • Build back-end web services that interact with blockchains and traditional finance
  • Build out APIs and integrations with our partner custodians
  • Design and build out an internal Transfer Agent
  • Lead, build and test our infrastructure as code efforts
  • Enthusiastically collaborate with a small team, owning and planning projects for long-term impact
  • Teach and mentor other engineers
What you'll bring to the team
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
  • 9+ years of professional engineering experience
  • Expertise in building fault tolerant, high performance, and highly available cloud infrastructure in AWS
  • Deep Rust experience
  • Familiarity building web-services for highly-trafficked websites
  • Familiarity with SQL, query planning and optimization
  • Familiarity with the current DeFi ecosystem
  • Exceptional judgment, strategic thinking and creative problem-solving skills with a strong analytical mindset
Bonus points if you have experience with these technologies
  • Pulumi or Terraform
  • AWS - Fargate, RDS, Cloudfront, EC2, ECS, Nitro Enclave
  • Cloudflare
  • Postgres
  • Docker
  • Typescript
  • Solana Programs
  • Layer 2 blockchains and cross-chain bridges
  • Solidity or Yul
  • Foundry
Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive compensation
  • Equity ownership
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Paid parental leave
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We welcome qualified candidates of all races, creeds, genders, age, veteran status and sexuality to apply.

Founded in 2023, Superstate is backed by leading investors including Distributed Global, CoinFund, Breyer Capital, Galaxy, ParaFi, 1kx, and Cumberland.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
