Senior Software Engineer, Developer Platform

Role Description

At Offchain, we aren’t just building products: we’re leading a movement. As pioneers in blockchain scalability and security, we're at the forefront of transforming how the world interacts with decentralized applications. This involves tackling real-world challenges that come with scaling blockchain technology, without compromising on its core principles: decentralization, security, and transparency.

The Developer Platform team builds KMS, the key-management and signing service behind ZeroDev's embedded wallets. It is non-custodial: end users control their keys, and the service orchestrates secure creation, authentication, and signing on top of a third-party signing provider. You will own backend services and the cryptographic recovery and trust-model machinery around them on a small, high-ownership team, and help grow the platform from interactive consumer wallets toward programmatic and automated signing and programmable transaction policy.

What you'll work on

• Go backend services that broker wallet creation, authentication, and signing at scale.
• Key recovery and the committee trust model: distributed key generation and secret sharing that keep the service non-custodial.
• Trusted Execution Environments: reconstructing and operating on key material under hardware isolation and remote attestation.
• Authentication and signing-provider integration: user-facing auth methods that gate signing and integrating with a third-party signing provider.
• Security review and hardening: writing design docs and decision records, working directly with external security auditors.
• Production operations on Kubernetes: observability and alerting, secrets and certificate management, on-call, and compliance controls.

Qualifications

• A strong backend engineer who has shipped and operated production services in Go (or an adjacent systems language).
• Security-first by default: you reason about threat models, blast radius, and key custody as a habit.
• Comfortable with applied-cryptography fundamentals (public-key crypto, signatures, key management).
• Solid on distributed systems and API design: idempotency, failure modes, and clean service boundaries.
• Operationally mature: Kubernetes, observability, and incident response are not foreign to you.
• Clear written communicator (design docs, decision records) who thrives in a collaborative, review-heavy culture.

Nice-to-have

• TEE experience (AWS Nitro Enclaves, Intel SGX / TDX, or similar).
• Threshold cryptography / MPC in practice: DKG, FROST or other threshold signatures.
• Account abstraction: ERC-4337, EIP-7702, smart-account or embedded / non-custodial wallet experience.
• Built on or integrated a custody / signing provider (Turnkey, Fireblocks, or similar).
• HSM / YubiKey / PIV / secure-element integration.
• Been on the receiving end of a third-party security audit and driven the remediation.
• WebAuthn / passkeys, OAuth / OIDC, and the Go crypto ecosystem.

Benefits

• Remote-first global workforce + NY office.
• Annual company offsite + team onsites.
• Professional reimbursement program (facilitates industry conference attendance, certifications, and more).
• Medical, dental & vision coverage (US + some other countries).
• 401k retirement plan + company match (US only).
• Wellness stipend.
• Home office set up / ergonomic equipment program.
