    • Build and maintain robust APIs and backend services with a focus on reliability, security, and developer usability.
    • Develop complex server-side logic to integrate blockchain technologies and handle high-throughput data flows and transactions.
    • Implement real-time monitoring and alerting systems, proactively identifying performance bottlenecks and areas for optimization.
    • Lead backend efforts across the entire development lifecycle—from planning and design to deployment and iteration.
    • Collaborate with frontend, mobile, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions that are both performant and delightful to use.
    • Oversee database design, management, and optimization across multiple systems and services.
    • Document system architecture, APIs, and processes for both internal and external development stakeholders.
    • Ensure secure and efficient handling of user data and interactions.
    • Contribute to technical strategy and mentor junior team members as a go-to backend expert.

About you:

    • 6+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally with Go (Golang) or similar performant backend languages.
    • Proven ability to design and implement scalable, production-grade systems in a cloud-native environment.
    • Deep understanding of API architecture, distributed systems, and database technologies (SQL and NoSQL).
    • Comfortable leading backend projects from concept to deployment.
    • Strong advocate for clean code, testing, documentation, and best practices in version control (Git).
    • Experience working in Agile, cross-functional teams, delivering iteratively while maintaining a long-term vision.
    • A problem-solver at heart, excited by technical challenges and driven by delivering impact at scale.
    • Passion for blockchain technology, gaming, and redefining digital ownership.
