About the Client
A leading blockchain infrastructure organization building wallet products, open-source libraries,
and developer tooling for a large public network ecosystem. The team focuses on making
network access more usable, dependable, and scalable for downstream applications and end
users.
About the Role
This role sits on the wallet team and focuses on the products and services that connect end
users to the broader network ecosystem. The engineer will design backend systems,
developer-facing interfaces, and supporting services that help application teams move faster
while maintaining reliability at scale.
The work lives at the intersection of infrastructure and usability. It is well suited for an engineer
who can think deeply about APIs, systems design, performance, and developer experience in
blockchain-adjacent environments.
What This Role Owns
- Backend systems and interfaces that support wallet products and connected applications.
- Developer-facing APIs and technical standards that improve ecosystem velocity.
- Scalable web services that can support growing throughput and user adoption.
- Cross-functional collaboration across design, open-source engineering, and technical review
