Senior Software Engineer

For this role we're seeking a generalist who can work across the backend stack to bring our products to life. A candidate in this role would be expected to:

• Design and implement backend systems that power both user-facing applications (like Dawn) and core protocol components.
• Architect scalable and resilient services: APIs, stateful services, and blockchain data pipelines that can handle real-world demand.
• Drive large-scale architectural improvements to the codebase and develop best practices in a nascent organization.
• Mentor the rest of the team to improve long-term architecture and code quality.

• 3+ years of experience as a systems engineer who has designed and operated production services with real traffic, ideally in finance, trading, or blockchain environments.
• A deep understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, and network architecture - you think in terms of latency, throughput, and fault tolerance.
• Fluent in at least one strongly-typed backend language (Rust, Go or C++) and comfortable working across frameworks, APIs, and infrastructure.
• An interest in bitcoin, blockchains and onchain finance.

Nice to haves

• Prior experience using stablecoins and/or bitcoin in your daily life.
• Prior experience building low-latency systems for trading.
