  • Build transaction lifecycle components including:
    • Transaction creation and signing workflows
    • Submission pipelines to blockchain networks
  • Integrate with secure key management systems (e.g., MPC, HSMs)
  • Ensure clean separation between protocol logic, security layers, and business logic

Custody & Blockchain Operations

  • Support custody-related workflows including:
    • On-chain transaction execution
    • Event monitoring and reconciliation
    • Failure handling and recovery mechanisms
  • Define safe interaction patterns with smart contracts and token standards
  • Ensure workflows align with custody governance, approvals, and risk controls

Engineering Excellence & AI Utilization

  • Build highly reliable and observable blockchain systems using modern engineering practices
  • Leverage GenAI and agentic AI tools to accelerate:
    • Protocol analysis
    • Code development and testing
    • Documentation and knowledge sharing
  • Maintain strong engineering discipline focused on accuracy, security, and performance

Required Qualifications

  • 7 years of professional software engineering experience
  • Hands-on experience working with blockchain or distributed ledger technologies
  • Strong understanding of Layer-1 blockchain protocols and transaction lifecycles
  • Experience building backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure services
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Go, Java, Rust, or Python
  • Ability to collaborate across engineering, security, and platform teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building blockchain indexers, explorers, or analytics platforms
  • Familiarity with wallet architecture, signing workflows, and key management systems
  • Experience working in crypto custody or security-sensitive financial systems
  • Strong debugging experience in distributed, asynchronous environments
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to enhance development workflows

What Success Looks Like
