Desirable

• Join a newly formed product pod focused building scalable data systems as well as our next-generation app that allows users to deposit and withdraw into vaults directly
• This role is part of a critical initiative to drive order from crypto data chaos, as well as build our core product interface
• You'll be working on a high-impact project tightly aligned with Gauntlet’s core strategy, helping build a robust, user-facing experience at the heart of our business
• Lead the design, development, and maintenance of full-stack features for Gauntlet’s decentralized application, ensuring high performance and scalability
• Partner closely with front-end engineers to deliver cohesive and well-integrated user experiences
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Engage in systems design and architecture discussions to build robust backend services supporting the application
• Participate actively in code reviews and design sessions, promoting best practices and high-quality code standards
• Collaborate with product managers and researchers to translate requirements into effective technical solutions
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex software issues to maintain system reliability and performance
• Gauntlet engineers are expected to own features end-to-end. While this is a full-stack role, our interviews intentionally emphasize backend systems, APIs, and production decision-making over frontend specialization. We value good boundaries, clear interfaces, and pragmatic judgment more than deep expertise in any single layer
