Job Description

Will consider remote for solid match

What This Engineer Will Do:

Layer1 Blockchain Integration & Platforms

  • Integrate Client systems with existing Layer1 blockchains (e.g., Ethereumbased or other enterpriserelevant L1s).
  • Evaluate and, where appropriate, contribute to building or extending Layer1 capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs.
  • Understand chainlevel 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 crosschain integration components
  • Ensure blockchain data pipelines are accurate, performant, and auditable.
  • Support operational tooling required for troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response.

Wallet Architecture & Development

  • Contribute to wallet architecture and development, including:
  • Blockchainfacing wallet services
  • Transaction creation, signing workflows, and submission pipelines
  • Integration with custody key management systems (MPC, HSMs, signing services)
  • Ensure wallet implementations cleanly separate protocol logic, security controls, and business rules.
  • Partner closely with custody and security engineers to validate endtoend transaction flows.

CustodyRelated Blockchain Workflows

  • Share responsibility for custodyrelated blockchain workflows, including:
  • Onchain transaction execution
  • Event monitoring and reconciliation
  • Chainspecific failure handling and recovery patterns
  • Help define safe patterns for interacting with smart contracts and token standards from custody platforms.
  • Ensure blockchain workflows align with custody policies, approvals, and risk controls.

Engineering Rigor & AIAugmented Development

  • Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, testable, and observable blockchain services.
  • Leverage GenAI and agentic AI tools to accelerate:
  • Protocol analysis
  • Code development and testing
  • Documentation and knowledge sharing
  • Maintain engineering rigor speed without sacrificing correctness or safety.

What you have:

Required Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Handson experience building or integrating blockchain or distributed ledger systems.
  • Strong understanding of Layer1 blockchain protocols and transaction lifecycles.
  • Experience building backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components.
  • Proficiency in one or more languages such as Go, Java, Rust, Python, or similar.
  • 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 securitysensitive 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 edgecase chain conditions.
  • Custody systems interact with blockchains safely and consistently.
  • Incidents related to blockchain dependencies are well understood and quickly diagnosed.
  • This role establishes strong foundations for scalable digitalasset custody and tokenization platforms.
