Member of Technical Staff, Backend Engineering

You Will:

• Build secure, resilient, and global infrastructure from the ground up!
• Review code across the entire stack and engineering organization while actively participating in product development.
• Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).
• Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt and bureaucracy.
• Influence architecture/product roadmap - have a seat at the table.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with everyone.
• Help scale the team.
• Work on the front lines of the blockchain/crypto movement and SecOps innovation.
• Ship code that will impact the global economy.

You may be a fit for this role if:

• You have real world experience building complex distributed systems.
• You enjoy building services from scratch and supporting them over a meaningful period of time.
• You have a deep appreciation for code quality and test infrastructure.
• You prioritize end-user experience and business value over “cool tech.”
• You have developed “computer science fundamentals”, i.e. concurrency, algorithms, and data structures (Formal CS degree NOT required).
• You self describe as some combination of the following: creative, humble, ambitious, detail-oriented, hardworking, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action-oriented, and tenacious.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You feel comfortable diving down the stack and into open source projects to root cause a bug.
• In your mind the word “crypto” stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency.
• You read blockchain protocol white papers for fun, and stay up to date with the proliferation of cryptoasset innovations.
• You have a background in the finance industry.
• You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)

Tech stack:

• Backend Tech: Go, C, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vault, GCP, AWS, C++ and GraphQL.
• Frontend Tech: ReactJS, Flow, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Jest, and Cypress.
• Mobile Tech: Swift, RxSwift, CocoaPods, and Secure Enclave.
• Engineering Methodologies: Reverse uptime, cryptographically linked data models, tamper resistant ledgers, air gapped infrastructure, secure execution environments, container orchestration, repeatable builds, and infra-as-code.
