• Own end-to-end delivery from design through production.

• Improve uptime and reduce latency across services.

• Collaborate with Product, Infrastructure, and DevEx teams.

• Debug and resolve complex production issues.

• Drive engineering standards and best practices.

• What You’ll Bring

• 6–10 years of experience building and operating backend or distributed systems in high-scale production environments, aligning with P4 expectations.

• Strong proficiency in Go, with a demonstrated ability to quickly adopt new languages and frameworks as needed.

• Deep experience designing and operating distributed systems, databases, and streaming architectures.

• Proven track record of delivering scalable, reliable systems with measurable impact on performance, availability, and developer experience.

• Experience working with Web3, blockchain infrastructure, or high-throughput API platforms, including familiarity with RPC services, node infrastructure, or data streaming pipelines.

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex, cross-system issues in production environments.

• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, prioritize effectively, and deliver outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

• Excellent communication skills with experience collaborating across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.
