Founding Software Engineer (Back-End/Core Systems)
The Role
We’re hiring a Back-End/Core Systems Engineer to design and own the APIs, services, and orchestration logic that power our core systems. You’ll be building the backbone of USDH — from institutional APIs to bridge flows to money movement tracking. You’ll work alongside product, infra, and crypto engineers, and own production-grade services from day one.
Responsibilities
Architect, build, and scale core REST and event-driven APIs used by our partners and internal systems
Build and maintain database-backed systems for reconciliation, money movement, bridge tracking, and observability
Implement and evolve systems using tools like PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Clickhouse, Docker, Terraform
Shape our metrics, logging, and monitoring stack for high-reliability infrastructure
Collaborate with other engineers to improve our API design, reliability practices, and production tooling
Contribute to or own cross-chain infrastructure and crypto integrations if you're experienced in that area
Participate in system design reviews, technical roadmap discussions, and postmortems
Own code in production — we build with reliability and observability from the start
Requirements
4+ years of experience building production-grade backend systems
Are highly proficient in TypeScript or Go, and confident working with SQL databases
Have designed and shipped robust RESTful APIs and backend services with strong uptime and performance guarantees
Understand and have implemented event-driven systems, including messaging queues and data pipelines
Have hands-on experience with production infra: Redis, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, Clickhouse, OpenAPI, Protobuf, WebSockets
Know how to debug, trace, and monitor distributed systems in production environments
Have worked at a small-to-mid-sized company where you owned critical services, or led backend development for a product line
Bonus: have crypto-native experience, including Solidity, on-chain infrastructure, bridges, L2s, or trading systems (e.g., MakerDAO, LayerZero, Tenderly, Across, Wintermute, SCP)
Bonus: experience with financial systems: reconciliation, ledgering, settlement, or audit tooling
