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.
