You are the ideal candidate if you enjoy creating shared libraries, improving application observability, and standardizing code across an entire organization rather than just building customer-facing features. Expert-level proficiency in **Golang** is a must, as you will be acting as a force multiplier for the rest of the engineering team. As part of a high-growth crypto unicorn backed by top-tier VCs like Andreessen Horowitz, you’ll be working at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology. The position offers the flexibility of a **fully remote** arrangement within the U.S. and provides a unique opportunity to influence the technical direction of a federally chartered digital asset bank. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep experience writing production-grade code in Golang. * Are obsessed with internal tooling, observability (metrics, logs, tracing), and reducing technical debt. * Enjoy collaborating across different teams to establish engineering standards and shared resources. * Have a background in or interest in high-security cloud environments (GCP) and Infrastructure-as-Code.
