Drive Real-Time Impact
- Implement capabilities for real-time transaction processing and automatic validation of source code against deployed system code.
- Develop stable and reliable critical cloud services.
Collaborate and Innovate
- Partner with cross-functional teams to design features that delight customers and solve complex problems.
- Work on product-driven initiatives that push the boundaries of blockchain infrastructure.
About You

You Have:
✔ Proven Experience – Track record of delivering scalable solutions for internal and customer-facing systems.
✔ Leadership & Ownership – Confidence in leading technical decisions and taking projects from concept to execution.

- Enabling real-time transactions
- ✔ Blockchain Curiosity – Passion for blockchain infrastructure (experience is a bonus, but not required).
- ✔ Problem-Solving Skills – Ability to tackle performance, scalability, and reliability challenges, including validating and verifying source code.
