About the role

  • This is a remote, high-availability role for a technical powerhouse who views backend systems as a high-performance engine and is comfortable operating at the absolute frontier of the Web3 economy.
  • We value structural integrity, clean concurrent code, and engineering momentum over corporate credentials.
  • You have a deep understanding of data structures, concurrency, and network protocols. - Analytical Rigor: You don't guess when it comes to systems performance.

Responsibilities

  • Backend Systems Development: Design, scale, and maintain high-performance server-side logic that remains rock-solid under heavy concurrent user velocity.
  • Database Design: Structure highly performant database schemas, indexes, and caching strategies to ensure sub-millisecond retrieval speeds for critical data.
  • Infrastructure Scalability: Constantly stress-test, optimize, and scale our core service clusters to handle explosive traffic spikes and massive computational throughput.
  • Service Reliability: Implement rigorous monitoring, automated failover protocols, and strict error-handling mechanics to ensure absolute 24/7/365 system uptime.
  • GraphQL: Complex schema design, familiarity with resolver optimizations such as N+1 problem and dataloaders, efficient context management with high concurrency requests.
  • MongoDB: Advanced indexing strategies, aggregation pipeline optimizations, non-relational database design.
  • Operational Excellence: Self-motivated and highly organized; you write clean, idiomatic code, write bulletproof tests, and manage your development pipeline without hand-holding.
  • Extreme Technical Autonomy: We value clean execution over red tape. You will have the freedom to design, optimize, and break new ground within a high-speed environment.
  • High-Growth Upside: We value "potential over pedigree." For a senior engineer who takes extreme ownership of our core platform, there is a clear, unrestricted runway to lead the entire engineering organization.
  • Design, scale, and maintain high-performance server-side logic that remains rock-solid under heavy concurrent user velocity.

Requirements

  • Node.js: Ability to stand up independent microservices, experience with REST APIs, understanding of advanced event loop and memory optimizations.
  • The "Systems Architect": Proven experience shipping production-grade, highly resilient backend ecosystems.
  • You have a deep understanding of data structures, concurrency, and network protocols.
  • You must be available 7 days a week to handle real-time hotfixes, critical system deployments, and sudden market surges.

Skills

  • Structure highly performant database schemas, indexes, and caching strategies to ensure sub-millisecond retrieval speeds for critical data.

Compensation

  • Payment: All compensation is processed in digital assets (USDC/USDT).

Benefits

  • API Architecture: Build and optimize flexible, self-documenting API schemas that connect our complex internal data layers seamlessly to our consumer interfaces.

Company info

  • You understand the unique technical challenges of digital asset data, transaction validation speeds, and fast-paced, digital-native environments.
  • Join a team that moves at the speed of light.
  • If your system architecture is tested and ready to ship on a Sunday night, we push it to production.
  • We offer more than just a typical software engineering ticket-shuffling job; we offer the chance to architect the engine of a global powerhouse.
