• You’ll work on scalable APIs, data pipelines, and video-processing infrastructure, helping us deliver a cutting-edge platform for millions of users.
• Designing and implementing APIs (REST and/or GraphQL)
• Building and maintaining PostgreSQL data stores
• Deploying and scaling systems on AWS
• Participating in the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) : requirements, design, coding, testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), and release

🎯 Requirements
• 7-10+ years of software engineering experience (preferably at early-stage startups or high-growth platforms)
• 4+ years of experience working in Rust in production environments, ideally on scalable web or blockchain-native backends
• Strong experience designing modern, scalable backend architectures from scratch — including authentication, real-time messaging, microservices, APIs, caching, and database design
• Proficiency with Rust frameworks like Actix, Axum, Tokio, or Rocket
• Experience with WebAssembly, gRPC, or GraphQL is a plus
• Passion for decentralization, crypto, Web3, and building products that empower users
• Comfortable working without product managers, defining scope, and leading engineering direction

• Deferred salary until funding is secured
