• Implement wallet connectivity, transaction processing, token functionality, and digital asset features.
• Participate in technical architecture discussions and contribute to engineering decisions.
• Identify and address security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and scalability challenges.
• Review code and promote best practices for testing, maintainability, and software security.
• Collaborate with frontend, backend, product, and QA teams to deliver end-to-end features.
• Troubleshoot blockchain transactions, smart-contract interactions, and network-related issues.
• Contribute to deployment pipelines, monitoring, and ongoing production support.
• Mentor other developers and help improve engineering standards across the team.

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience developing production-ready applications.
• Professional experience building blockchain applications, smart contracts, or Web3 infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of Ethereum, EVM-compatible networks, or comparable blockchain ecosystems.
• Hands-on experience with Solidity and tools such as Hardhat, Foundry, Ethers.js, or Web3.js.
• Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, or other relevant backend technologies.
• Experience integrating blockchain functionality with APIs, databases, and frontend applications.
• Understanding of smart-contract security, transaction execution, gas optimization, and testing methodologies.
• Ability to analyze complex technical problems and develop practical solutions.
• Strong communication skills, technical ownership, and the ability to collaborate effectively with a distributed team.

Nice to Have

• Experience with DeFi applications, cryptocurrency exchanges, or digital asset platforms.
• Experience building NFT marketplaces, token systems, or blockchain-based gaming products.
• Familiarity with Layer 2 networks, cross-chain protocols, and blockchain indexing services.
• Experience with wallet integrations, authentication flows, and transaction signing.
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring.
• Full-stack development experience with React, Next.js, and modern backend frameworks.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a portfolio of completed blockchain applications.
• Experience working in startups or fast-paced product development environments.
