Crypto Engineer/Blockchain Engineer

This engineer will work across Ethereum/EVM, Hyperledger Besu, Canton/Daml, permissioned blockchains, public blockchains, private/consortium networks, and emerging tokenization protocols. The role requires a hands-on builder who can move from architecture and prototyping into secure, scalable, production ready Web3 infrastructure., Web3 Platform Engineering

• Design and build reusable Web3 platform services for tokenization, transaction processing, blockchain connectivity, wallet integration, event ingestion, indexing, and token lifecycle management.
• Build Back End services that interact with blockchain nodes, smart contracts, signing systems, custody platforms, and off-chain systems.
• Develop common blockchain abstraction layers that can support multiple networks, including Besu, Canton, Ethereum/EVM, Layer 2 networks, permissioned chains, and future enterprise blockchain platforms.
• Build integrations with Hyperledger Besu, Ethereum-compatible networks, and permissioned EVM chains.
• Implement blockchain connectivity using JSON-RPC, WebSocket subscriptions, ABI encoding/decoding, event logs, transaction submission, transaction status tracking, and smart-contract queries.
• Support engineering patterns for Canton/Daml-based blockchain networks, including validator or participant connectivity, application package lifecycle, transaction authorization, and workflow integration.
• Work with Daml application concepts, including DAR package deployment, versioning, installation validation, and application enablement.
• Build or integrate services that support Canton-style workflows, institutional transaction authorization, wallet integration, and node connectivity.
• Partner with platform, infrastructure, and operations teams to evaluate Canton validator strategies, including self-hosted and provider-operated models where applicable.

Smart Contract & Tokenization Integration Engineering

• Design, develop, integrate, and review smart contracts for tokenized asset and programmable workflow use cases.
• Work with Solidity, EVM token standards, upgradeable contracts, Proxy patterns, access-control models, permissioned-token designs, and contract event models.
• Build smart-contract interaction layers that manage ABI encoding, calldata construction, transaction simulation, event decoding, and contract state reads.
• Establish engineering standards for smart-contract development, testing, deployment, versioning, rollback planning, and production change governance.
• Support smart-contract security practices, including threat modeling, static analysis, fuzzing, invariant testing, and secure deployment pipelines.

Wallet, Signing & Transaction Orchestration Integration

• Integrate with institutional wallet, custody, signing, and authorization platforms that support tokenized asset workflows.
• Design transaction orchestration workflows covering request validation, policy checks, approval routing, signing, submission, confirmation tracking, retries, exception handling, and audit logging.
• Support address or account registration, transaction limits, allowlists, signing policies, approval workflows, an operational controls.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building distributed systems, Back End platforms, financial systems, blockchain infrastructure, custody platforms, trading systems, or high-scale transaction systems.
• Strong hands-on Web3 engineering experience.
• Deep understanding of Ethereum/EVM, including smart contracts, ABI encoding, transaction lifecycle, gas/fee handling, nonce management, logs/events, confirmations, and finality.
• Experience building Back End services that interact with blockchain nodes, wallets, smart contracts, signing systems, or custody platforms.
• Experience with JSON-RPC, WebSocket subscriptions, blockchain event indexing, smart-contract integration, transaction monitoring, and blockchain data models.
• Strong understanding of wallet infrastructure, transaction signing, address management, custody concepts, and key-management patterns.
• Strong Back End engineering skills in one or more languages such as Java, Go, Kotlin, TypeScript, Rust, Python, or C+.
• Experience with APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, messaging systems, cloud-native engineering, and production operations.
• Ability to independently own complex engineering problems from design through production delivery.
• Experience with Canton, Daml, validator/participant concepts, DAR deployment, or institutional blockchain workflows., * Experience with Hyperledger Besu, permissioned EVM networks, or private blockchain deployments.
• Experience with Canton, Daml, validator/participant concepts, DAR deployment, or institutional blockchain workflows.
• Experience with smart-contract audits, fuzz testing, invariant testing, static analysis, formal verification, or secure smart-contract deployment.
• Experience building blockchain indexers, transaction orchestration systems, custody integrations, token lifecycle platforms, or wallet-policy engines.
• Experience with token standards such as ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-1400, ERC-3643, or other permissioned-token frameworks.
• Experience building systems in regulated, security-sensitive, or high-value transaction environments.
• Relevant blockchain certifications or training are a plus, including Besu training/certification and Digital Asset Daml/Canton-related certification paths
