• Evaluate and, where appropriate, contribute to building or extending Layer?1 capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs.
• Understand chain?level mechanics such as transaction lifecycle, finality, forks, reorgs, and event propagation.
• Ensure blockchain integrations are reliable under stress conditions and production loads.
Blockchain Infrastructure Components
• Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including:
• Indexers and event processors
• Block explorers and observability tooling
• Chain data services and APIs
• Interoperability and cross?chain integration components
• Ensure blockchain data pipelines are accurate, performant, and auditable.

• Ability to work effectively across custody, security, and platform teams.
Strongly Preferred
• Experience with blockchain indexers, explorers, or chain analytics systems.
• Familiarity with wallet architecture and blockchain signing workflows.
• Exposure to crypto custody platforms or security?sensitive financial systems.
• Strong debugging instincts in distributed, asynchronous environments.
• Experience using AI tooling to support complex software development.
What Success Looks Like
• Blockchain integrations are predictable, observable, and resilient.
• Wallet and transaction pipelines behave correctly across normal and edge?case chain conditions.
