Blockchain Software Engineer

Backend · Node.js · Crypto Infrastructure

🚀 Build real-world crypto payments used at global scale

We’re looking for a backend-focused software engineer with blockchain experience to help build and scale next-generation payments infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to work close to the product, touch real users, and ship systems that operate at serious scale.

Location

  • Strong preference for New York City
  • Open to remote (US or global) for exceptional candidates with strong experience and solid tenure

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Play a key role in shaping the technical and product roadmap
  • Build and scale backend services that interact with blockchain infrastructure
  • Work directly with smart contracts across multiple chains
  • Develop and support new smart contracts and blockchain integrations
  • Help scale on-chain infrastructure to millions of users globally
  • Ship new features quickly in a fast-moving environment
  • Influence architectural decisions in a rapidly evolving product

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, speed, and solving real problems at the intersection of payments, fintech, and crypto.

Why This Role Is Different

  • You’ll be building real-world crypto infrastructure, not side experiments
  • Flat, open culture - engineers influence the roadmap
  • High ownership and autonomy
  • Backed by top-tier investors in fintech and crypto
  • Global impact from day one

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–10+ years of professional engineering experience
  • Strong experience with Node.js and modern backend technologies
  • Hands-on experience interacting with blockchains and smart contracts
  • A backend engineer with real blockchain exposure (not just interest)
  • Crypto-curious at minimum - crypto-native is a plus
  • Comfortable working in lean, fast-paced teams

Nice to have (not required):

  • Fintech experience (neobanks, card issuing, payments infrastructure)

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Equity so you share in the upside
  • Unlimited PTO (with a minimum 10 days encouraged)
  • Flexible work environment (remote or office-friendly)
  • Home office setup stipend
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision (US-based)
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health & wellness allowance (gym, classes, recovery, etc.)
  • Team offsites and international summits
  • Access to internal products for hands-on testing

Interview Process

  1. Intro call with Recruiting / HR
  2. CTO phone screen (team fit & culture)
  3. Technical interview (deep dive into past work & impact)
  4. Technical session (2 hours: architecture + programming)
  5. Founder / CEO interview
  6. Final wrap-up conversation
