Senior Platform Engineer

The Role

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own the backend systems and infrastructure that power our products. You'll build the services, APIs, deployment pipelines, and platform tooling that enable a fast-moving product team to ship reliable, performant features to end users. This role sits at the intersection of backend development and infrastructure — you'll write application-level code and also make sure it runs smoothly at scale.

The Work

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs that power core product features (transactions, wallet management, DeFi integrations, user accounts)
• Own and evolve the infrastructure layer — CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code
• Build and operate scalable, reliable systems on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar)
• Develop high-quality, performant, modern, clean and readable code within tight deadlines
• Develop internal tooling and platform primitives that accelerate the product engineering team
• Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting to ensure high availability and fast incident response
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and frontend engineers to deliver end-to-end features
• Contribute to architecture decisions, technical documentation, and engineering standards as the team grows
• Own the development and maintenance of the project from ideation to deployment

Must Have

• 7+ years of experience in backend engineering, with meaningful exposure to infrastructure, platform, or DevOps/SRE work
• Strong proficiency in Golang (5+ years)
• Experience designing and building production APIs and microservices at scale
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar)
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent)
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for multi-service deployments
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, databases, and systems-level debugging
• Exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with blockchain systems or integrating blockchain-based backends into consumer-facing products
• Understanding of cryptographic primitives (public/private keys, hash functions, Merkle trees)
• Experience with the Cosmos SDK / CometBFT technology stack
• Background in fintech, payments, or wallet infrastructure
• Experience with performance optimization, load testing, and capacity planning
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar)
• Contributions to open-source projects
