Design and own robust backend systems that power critical platform capabilities in a distributed environment. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll build and maintain scalable services from concept through long-term operation, ensuring reliability, performance, and security.
What You'll Do
- Architect and implement backend services that support core product functionality, with a focus on scalability and resilience.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to influence technical and product direction, not just implementation.
- Integrate with blockchain protocols and smart contracts, adapting to new networks as they emerge.
- Champion code quality, observability, and secure practices across the development lifecycle.
- Work effectively in a high-velocity setting where agility and technical rigor go hand in hand.
- Use AI-powered development tools to boost productivity and contribute to team growth through code reviews and mentorship.
Environment & Culture
This role values deep ownership, thoughtful system design, and a commitment to building durable, well-crafted systems. You'll operate in a remote-first, globally distributed setup with a preference for time zones within three hours of CET. The team moves quickly but maintains a high bar for engineering excellence, using modern tools—including AI—to stay efficient without sacrificing quality.
