⚡ Staff Software Engineer (Distributed Systems)

✨ Core Execution Team – Next-Gen Decentralized Platform

📍 Remote (US)

A rapidly scaling Web3 infrastructure company is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help build and optimize the core execution layer of a high-performance, proof-of-stake network designed for enterprise and decentralized applications.

The platform is open source, EVM-compatible, and governed by leading global organizations across multiple sectors. It’s engineered for speed, security, stability, and sustainability, serving as the foundation for everything from tokenized assets to real-time consensus applications.

As a senior technical leader on the Execution Team, you’ll work on the heart of the distributed ledger: transaction processing, native services, rewards, fee systems, and record generation. This is a deeply technical role involving high-throughput, low-latency distributed execution, ideal for engineers who love performance challenges and want their work to directly power the next generation of Web3 applications.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing, developing, and optimizing core execution services in a high-scale distributed environment
• Building APIs and business logic for native ledger services (crypto, token, consensus, file)
• Ensuring correctness, determinism, and security in transaction processing
• Profiling and optimizing concurrent systems for high-throughput workloads
• Leading architecture decisions and mentoring engineers in distributed systems best practices
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams and open-source contributors

What They’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior/staff-level leadership
• Strong expertise in Java, with deep understanding of concurrency and performance tuning
• Experience building and scaling distributed systems
• Solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and system design
• Background in API design (gRPC preferred)
• Skilled in debugging and profiling complex concurrent systems
• Bonus points for experience with blockchain/DLT platforms, cryptographic systems, or event-driven architectures

Why Apply?

• Competitive compensation + equity
• Work on one of the most performant, sustainable distributed ledgers in the market
• Fully remote flexibility with opportunities to collaborate in person
• Shape open-source infrastructure used by developers and enterprises worldwide
• Join a team obsessed with building fast, reliable, and developer-friendly decentralized systems
