About the Role

You'll design, build, and maintain Solana programs and the backend services that integrate with them, while contributing to shared infrastructure across EVM, Solana, and Stellar.

  • Play a central role in shaping the technical and product roadmap

  • Ship new capabilities quickly and iteratively to our customers


What We're Looking For

  • Solid understanding of smart contract security patterns and common vulnerability classes

  • Experience with Node.js and backend systems

  • 2–10+ years of engineering experience; compensation will be calibrated accordingly
