Senior Backend Engineer
Job Details:
This role focuses on backend services that interact with cross-chain smart contract systems. Ideal candidates should have a hacker mindset, thrive in both early-stage R&D and full-scale implementation, and be passionate about intents, rollups, solver systems, off-chain matching, proof systems, and the EVM—all while building for real users.
About the Company
This organization is on a mission to maximize the value of money by reclaiming inefficiencies in the financial system and ensuring that the onchain economy truly delivers on the promise of borderless finance.

Their core focus is on developing and contributing to a stablecoin-focused protocol, designed for capital-efficient transactions across Ethereum, offering the simplest possible user experience. They also build applications that showcase the protocol’s capabilities, aiming to deliver seamless payments and financial interactions accessible to anyone in crypto today.

The team is pushing the boundaries of what crypto can enable, striving for an exceptional user experience, whether it’s sending payments, providing liquidity, or onboarding new users into web3. They believe that money should be better—and they’re dedicated to making that vision a reality.

If you're driven by solving complex engineering challenges, working in high-ownership startup environments, and shaping the future of decentralized finance, now is the time to join.
