Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Founding Engineer (Soft Offer) - **Company:** TECH AND CHIC LLC - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Software Quality, Digital Technology, Distributed Systems, Node.Js, Systems Development Life Cycle, Blockchain, Data Streaming, Systems Architecture, Systems Integration, TypeScript, Enterprise Software Applications, ReactJS, NFT, Backend, Event Driven Architecture, Build Management, Ethereum, Front End Software Development, Data Pipelines - **Published:** September 2, 2026 - **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/ph3fpckwl8 ## About the Role * Ability to design system-level architectures involving state, data flow, and modular components * Strong full-stack experience (React / Node.js / TypeScript), with ability to work across backend and frontend * Experience integrating with blockchain or distributed systems * Understanding of composable on-chain systems (e.g., NFTs or asset-based interactions with structured behavior) * Comfort working in early-stage environments with evolving system definitions and incomplete specifications Bonus Skills: * Experience with Ethereum smart contracts, L2s, or on-chain indexing systems * Familiarity with event-driven architectures or backend workflow systems * Exposure to systems involving persistent or structured state (e.g. queues, pipelines, stateful services) * Basic experience integrating AI models into product or backend workflows * Interest or prior exploration in composable digital systems or experimental on-chain applications ## Description Participation in weekly Scrum sessions is optional. Candidates may choose to attend to stay aligned with progress and understand current technical challenges. About Vanamonde We are a computation-focused startup building a new computation system that combines on-chain infrastructure with AI-driven execution. At the core of our work is SIAS (Semantic Interaction Asset System) and CSTG (Composable State Transition Graph), designed to support assets that can carry structured behavior and state transitions across applications. We are building a non-game autonomous world focused on general-purpose on-chain interactions rather than game loops or entertainment-only systems. The system is currently in early system v1.0, and we are actively iterating toward early system v1.5. Data sovereignty has been designed as a core system principle from the start. Vanamonde is currently bootstrapped and preparing for Seed financing, aiming to secure funding within 6-12 months while continuing system development and early community formation. The focus is on building foundational infrastructure for composable on-chain applications and user-owned computation. Opportunity We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join Vanamonde once we officially launch, helping us bring this system to life. This is an early opportunity to join a computation-system-focused startup at its foundational stage. You will work on building AI and blockchain-native infrastructure, contributing directly to SIAS and CSTG-based architecture and the early system layer. This is not a conventional engineering role. It is an opportunity to help define and implement the core system logic that enables composable asset-based interactions. Team Culture & Growth Vanamonde operates with high ownership and minimal bureaucracy. We evaluate impact, not hours. Engineers are expected to move decisively, ship frequently, and maintain architectural integrity under ambiguity. Experimentation is encouraged, but system correctness and composability are treated as first-order constraints. Early team members shape the technical foundation of the system and grow with the authority that comes from building core infrastructure. Your Responsibilities Design and build scalable architecture for Vanamonde's core system modules, including Genesis Diary and Accord, in close collaboration with the tech team. (Our founding team includes engineers with experience in blockchain protocol development and security engineering, with backgrounds spanning enterprise systems and regulated environments.) * Design system-level logic for persistent, composable state interactions across modules and services * Develop APIs, services, and data pipelines that interact with blockchain components and CSTG-based state systems * Translate system-level composable logic into structured user-facing interactions and workflows * Build front-end applications and interfaces for narrative-driven asset interactions grounded in system state * Define engineering standards for code quality, testing, and reliability across the system stack * Participate in the evolution of system architecture from early system v1.0 toward v1.5 iteration stage
