Blockchain Developer

About the Role

Join the Blockchain Backend Infrastructure team and take a position in building and maintaining a leading blockchain management platform. You'll be responsible for building cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure while implementing high-throughput, real-time scalable software solutions.

As a Blockchain Engineer, you will be instrumental in the research and integration of blockchain technologies into the platform. Your responsibilities will include collaborating closely with foundations and developers to gain a deep understanding of blockchain protocols and on-chain projects, then applying that knowledge to implement new features within the platform.

You will focus equally on external protocol integration patterns and internal wallet infrastructure. This role serves as a technical bridge between raw on-chain capabilities and the wallet features delivered to customers.

What You'll Do

• Implement modern backend applications and infrastructure in a microservices architecture, using the latest technologies and development practices.
• Deep dive into the latest blockchain technology and become an expert in the fundamentals, protocols, and features of the chains we support.
• Collaborate effectively with developers, engineers, and other roles while demonstrating strong independent problem-solving abilities.
• Contribute to production reliability through on-call participation, incident response, and post-incident follow-ups.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of backend development experience in modern languages (Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript).
• 3+ years of hands-on blockchain development experience.
• Experience working on high-scale distributed systems.
• Understanding of microservices architecture and API design.
• Knowledge of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, and distributed systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.

Preferred

• Experience building blockchain solutions for enterprise or institutional use cases.
• Understanding of security best practices for smart contracts and blockchain systems.
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI tools in day-to-day development.
• Understanding of MPC, multi-signature wallets, or other advanced cryptographic techniques.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.
• Location:
• - EU preferred or availability to travel to one of dev hubs in Europe once per quarter.

Desired Candidate Profile

https://electronlabs.org/">Electron Labs is building a new protocol to make various blockchains interoperable. Our goal is to enable cross-chain contracts to connect with each other in the same way as same-chain contracts connect i.e., via function calls. We have developed a new in-house tech called https://garvitgoel.medium.com/what-is-bdlc-and-how-it-works-5716fbbacde8">Bi-Directional Light Client that allows a smart contract to independently verify whether the cross-chain transactions submitted to it are valid. We further use ZK-SNARKS to reduce the gas cost of running the light client on-chain.

Desired Qualifications

1. A good grasp of blockchain fundamentals, various consensus algorithms, and detailed knowledge of at least one major blockchain.
2. Previous work (demonstrable) in blockchain technology, web3, or protocol development
3. In-depth understanding of Number Theory and Cryptography. Knowledge of Cryptographic Algorithms and zero-knowledge proofs are highly preferred.
4. Superior mathematics and problem-solving skills, excellent pattern recognition, passion for solving puzzles.
5. Proficiency in one of the following languages: Go-lang, Rust, is highly preferred. Working knowledge of Solidity, Javascript, Python, or similar scripting languages puts you in front of our list
6. Grounded research skills and an ability to absorb documentation quickly
7. Strong background in Computer Science. Knowledgeable in Algorithms and Data Structures.

Roles and Responsibilities

1. You will be assigned one blockchain (Ethereum /Polygon /NEAR /tendermint /Polkadot/Aleo). You will be required to implement the light client of this blockchain in https://docs.circom.io/">Circom language (Domain Specific Language for ZK-SNARKS).
2. Write go-lang based networking relayers that enable communication between blockchains and zk-provers.
3. Maintain relayer and zk-prover infrastructure (cloud machine and codebase)
4. Write kickass documentation.
