Backend Engineer, Uniswap Labs

• We're looking for a Backend Engineer who thrives in ambiguity and wants to own meaningful projects from start to finish
• 5+ years of backend engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems
• Experience building and operating distributed systems or blockchain infrastructure
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can take an unclear problem, break it down, and deliver results
• Solid understanding of cloud architectures, system design, and debugging at scale
• Experience building systems from scratch (0→1) and iterating on them over time
• Genuine interest in Web3 and staying current with industry best practices

Desirable

• You'll work alongside a talented team solving hard problems in blockchain infrastructure and distributed systems
• This role is based in our SoHo, NYC headquarters with the option to be partially or fully remote
• You'll own projects end-to-end: scope requirements, design systems, implement solutions, and monitor them in production
• Write clean, well-tested Rust code and raise the bar through thoughtful code reviews
• Build and maintain infrastructure that keeps Unichain reliable, performant, and available 24/7
• Proactively identify gaps in our systems and propose practical solutions that move us forward
• Participate in on-call rotations to ensure chain stability and rapid incident response
• Work cross-functionally to turn complex, ambiguous problems into clear technical plans
