Back-end Engineer at Blocknative

Imagine working at the intersection of real-time data and the future of the internet. Since 2018, Blocknative has been building a transaction observability platform that allows users to see into the future of blockchain activity. By democratizing access to pre-chain data, we help power essential projects like MetaMask, Lido, and the Ethereum Foundation. We are a team of builders who value innovation, and we are looking for someone who shares our passion for making web3 more accessible and efficient for everyone.

The opportunity

We are looking for a Back-end Engineer to join our technical team in a full-time, remote capacity. You will play a vital role in architecting and deploying the infrastructure that keeps our products running smoothly. Working directly with our CTO and product managers, you will help shape our development roadmap and ensure that our solutions continue to set the standard for blockchain infrastructure. We prioritize people above all else, so if you are excited about our mission but do not meet every single qualification, we still encourage you to reach out.

A day in the life

• You will design, build, and test robust backend systems that handle transaction notifications and complex data pipelines.
• You will collaborate with our engineering team to support customer inquiries and contribute to the documentation that helps our users succeed.
• You will research and implement new technologies to keep our product development at the cutting edge of the blockchain space.

Who you are

You are a mid-level engineer with at least 3 years of experience who thrives in a collaborative environment. You communicate well with everyone from your fellow developers to leadership, and you bring a strong sense of integrity to your work. Your technical background should ideally include:

• A solid grasp of Ethereum and EVM core concepts.
• Proficiency in one or more of our core languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang, Rust, or Python.
• Experience working with NodeJS and asynchronous programming.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL and stream processing tools like Redis or Kafka.

Why you'll love it here

We believe in building a team that is as diverse as the community we serve. When you join us, you gain the freedom of a fully remote work environment. Our hiring process is designed to be transparent and thorough, ensuring you have the chance to meet your future teammates through a series of calls and group interviews before we make a decision together. We are also open to discussing contract arrangements if that fits your current situation better.
