Company mission
To create the most accessible and easy-to-use platform to build, run and scale blockchain applications.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably in backend, platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or distributed systems roles
- Strong production experience with Go or comparable backend systems languages
- Experience owning engineering projects end to end, including requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and iteration
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous communication, event-driven architectures, reliability engineering, and operational trade-offs
- Hands-on experience with message brokers or event-streaming technologies such as NATS, Kafka, or RabbitMQ
- Experience designing, deploying, and operating services in Kubernetes and containerized environments
- Familiarity with infrastructure automation and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform, Terragrunt, Helm, or similar technologies
- Experience working with CI/CD systems and developer productivity tooling
- Good understanding of monitoring, logging, observability, alerting, incident management, and production operations
- Strong AI-native engineering workflow, including practical use of coding agents, research agents, debugging assistants, and automation tools to accelerate design, implementation, testing, operations, and documentation while maintaining high standards for correctness and reliability
- Excellent written and verbal English
Desirable
- Experience integrating with blockchain networks through RPC APIs or related infrastructure interfaces
- Experience operating or maintaining blockchain client nodes
- Experience with cloud-native infrastructure and platform engineering practices
- Understanding of Web3 infrastructure, validator operations, indexing systems, or node orchestration platforms
- Experience building internal tooling, operational automation, deployment systems, benchmark suites, or self-service infrastructure platforms
- Experience with engineering planning processes such as RFCs, ADRs, or specification-driven development
- Ability to write high-quality specifications, technical proposals, operational runbooks, and concise engineering updates
- Strong product sense with the ability to connect platform improvements to customer value, operational efficiency, and measurable outcomes
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our platform team and build the systems that power the management and operation of blockchain infrastructure at scale
- In this role, you will own problems end to end, from understanding user and operational needs to designing, building, shipping, and improving production systems
- You will work on backend services, distributed systems, reliability engineering, and developer workflows while applying AI-first development practices
- The role combines strong engineering execution, product ownership, and platform thinking, with direct impact on how customers provision, operate, and scale blockchain infrastructure
- Own platform features from discovery and specification through design, implementation, rollout, and production operation
- Understand customer and operational pain points related to infrastructure provisioning, reliability, scalability, observability, deployment workflows, and operational efficiency, and translate them into platform improvements
- Use AI-first development practices to accelerate research, specification, implementation, testing, documentation, and operational analysis while maintaining a high verification bar
- Define, track, and improve key platform metrics such as provisioning time, deployment success rate, system reliability, incident frequency, infrastructure utilization, operational cost, and customer impact
- Collaborate with platform, DevOps, product, support, and customer-facing teams to evaluate trade-offs, prioritize investments, and deliver scalable solutions
- Identify operational bottlenecks, reliability risks, and scaling challenges, and drive long-term solutions from concept to production
Our take
Chainstack, a Web3 development company, builds platforms to help developers make better use of Web3 infrastructure, rather than building the infrastructure from scratch themselves. Chainstack is, in essence, the “chain” between developers and blockchain, building a platform subscription for software engineers.
Chainstack’s platform capabilities are very versatile, allowing developers to use it for crypto, cybersecurity, and supernets. A cloud-based service, it has bolstered its expertise with the hiring of experienced industry specialist Jan-Jaap Jager as CEO.
Chainstacks' continued success will depend on developers utilising its platform for non-crypto purposes. With the ongoing instability of the cryptocurrency market, other applications of Web3 and blockchain must take centre stage. However, with recent funding, Chainstack is in a good position to make significant advancements in its product offerings, focusing on enhancing core products, improving customer usability, and boosting automation. These efforts set the stage for a bright future in the evolving Web2 and blockchain space.
