Distinguished Software Engineer at Circle (circle.com)

This role is for a seasoned technical architect with at least 15 years of experience building and scaling massive distributed systems. You should have a track record of steering long-term technical strategy for platform-level infrastructure rather than just shipping individual features. **What makes it worth a look...** The compensation is top-tier for a remote-first role, topping out at over $350k base plus the chance to shape the "Economic OS" of the internet. It is a rare opportunity to operate as a high-level individual contributor with company-wide influence at a major player in the stablecoin and blockchain space. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have spent over a decade leading the architecture of highly available, high-traffic backend systems. * Can navigate the complexities of building developer platforms within strictly regulated financial environments. * Are comfortable debugging systemic bottlenecks that cross multiple service boundaries and team silos. * Prioritize observability and reliability as much as you do new system design.
