Senior Staff Software Engineer - Blockchain Platform
YOU will define and implement the engineering vision for the Blockchain Platform. YOU will architect and evolve core infrastructure such as nodes wallets and indexing to support growth and security. YOU will work across teams to drive high impact initiatives and ensure reliable scalable crypto infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the multi-quarter technical strategy for Blockchain Platform spanning nodes wallets indexing and asset lifecycle to support new chains, new products, and significant growth in onchain transaction volume.
- Architect and evolve the core Blockchain Platform infrastructure - nodes, indexers, wallet systems, and liquidity primitives - for high availability, low latency, cost efficiency, and security at global scale.
- Lead end-to-end design and rollout of large cross-team architectural initiatives (eg wallet stack rearchitecture indexing stack redesign asset identifier system), breaking high ambiguity into clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
- Set and enforce technical standards for correctness, security, and reliability across all crypto asset operations, including transaction finality, key management, reconciliation, and failure-mode handling for all onchain flows.
- Drive engineering efficiency across the org - defining standards for testing, quality, automation, and observability, and championing AI-native approaches that reduce operational burden and enable agents to serve as front-line operators.
- Use data and observability signals (e.g., transaction success rates, node reliability, indexing latency, on-call burden) to identify structural platform gaps and lead systematic reliability and efficiency improvements.
- Represent Blockchain Platform in executive and cross-org forums, clearly communicating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy-in for high-impact technical bets including emerging areas like Yield and Stablecoins.
Requirements
- Experience with high-throughput transaction systems requiring strong auditability, idempotency, and financial precision.
- Familiarity with staking infrastructure, bridging protocols, or tokenization systems.
- Experience applying AI or agent-based automation to reduce operational toil in platform or infrastructure contexts.
- Background at a high-scale technology company with a track record of platform-level impact across multiple teams.
