• 5+ years of experience in software development, with a proven track record of designing, building, and maintaining distributed systems at scale
• Strong mastery of system design, distributed data modeling, concurrency control, and scalability tradeoffs
• Deep care and architectural experience with correctness-critical systems—idempotency, financial reconciliation, ledger consistency, and designing for failure modes when money is at stake
• Strong interest or hands-on experience with blockchain fundamentals—EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement, or decentralized infrastructure—and an appetite to tackle cutting-edge technical problems
