The Role

Join a small, high-calibre engineering team tackling complex challenges in low-latency backend systems and real-time data engineering. As a Senior or Staff Rust Engineer, you’ll architect and scale the backend infrastructure powering a high-throughput, blockchain-integrated platform—bridging client interfaces with robust, high-availability data services.

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you’ll take ownership of performance-critical components—from time-series pipelines and distributed state coordination to API design and data integrity. You’ll work primarily in Rust (also Golang), influence architecture and infrastructure decisions, and help raise the technical bar for the team.

The company fosters a dynamic and inclusive culture where innovation and creativity thrive. Transparency, open communication, and a strong work ethic are core values. The team is made up of passionate technologists focused on building meaningful systems that leverage the potential of blockchain and Web3 infrastructure.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You bring 7+ years of experience building secure, production-grade backend systems at scale using cloud infrastructure
• You have deep hands-on expertise with Rust and actively lead or promote best practices within teams
• You’ve designed and implemented complex systems involving data pipelines, time-series and relational databases, distributed systems, and virtualized infrastructure
• You’ve successfully shipped production code and led cross-functional efforts to deliver products from inception to the market
• You possess strong communication skills—oral, written, and visual—and can align technical strategy across teams
• You thrive in high-paced startup environments and adapt quickly to evolving technical and product needs

Bonus: Familiarity with EVM, smart contracts, or other Web3 infrastructure is a plus—not a requirement.
