Job Description

**The role**

You’ll be an early full-time employee, working closely with the head of
engineering. You’ll have space to build and freedom to shape product and
technical decisions.

* Write code every day. Ship constantly.
* It’s mostly greenfield without legacy systems to maintain.
* Design and build infrastructure that’s secure and scalable.
* Help steer the product roadmap.
* Stack: TypeScript and AWS at the core. We expect to add Python, Rust, and Solidity as we grow.
* Competitive salary, equity, and benefits.

**About you**

* You’re hands-on and independent. You want to ship real things and avoid bloated org charts and endless meetings.
* You’ve designed and deployed distributed systems for 6+ years.
* You work well without needing direction.
* You’re curious about how money moves and the future of finance.
* You might come from a deep Web2 background and want in on Web3. Or maybe you already have deep DeFi experience and are looking for true product market fit and not more gamble-fi.
* You have hands-on experience with some or all of the following:
* Framework: NestJS, NextJs.
* Infrastructure: Terraform, Zuplo, Auth0, SQS, ECS, Supabase, Sentry, QuickNode, Basis Theory, Kubernetes, Kafka, Istio.
* Wallets/Auth: Turnkey, Auth0, Circle, Dynamic, TEE, MPC, Dfns, Utila, Privy, OIDC, OAuth3.
* Blockchains: EVM, Stellar, and Solana.
* Concepts: Microservices, event driven, cloud native, state machines, event sourcing, high frequency, encryption, security.
* Languages: Typescript, Python, Rust, Solidity.
* Cloud infrastructure: AWS.
* Bonus if you’ve worked in payments or with stablecoins.

This is a rare chance to join something early in a sector that’s exploding.
