What You Bring:

  • Deep knowledge of blockchain tech, consensus mechanisms, and Web3
  • Hands-on experience with DeFi protocols and smart contract development (Solidity and/or Rust)
  • Strong background in scalable back-end systems (microservices, event-driven architectures)
  • Familiar with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Docker/Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, and WebSockets
  • Bonus points for experience with MEV strategies, on-chain data tools, and low-latency trading systems
