Staff Backend Engineer / Tech Lead
NEWJob Description
[AI-summarized by JobStash]
You will independently drive projects end-to-end: discover problems, gather requirements, design architecture, implement solutions, deploy them, and run production operations. You will build and maintain high-load backend services and SDKs in Node.js/TypeScript, design reliable distributed systems, optimize databases, own CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code, and maintain observability (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting). You will integrate with EVM-compatible chains and Solana for on-chain indexing and transaction processing, write and document architectural decisions, lead design reviews, mentor engineers, proactively address technical debt and reliability risks, and communicate trade-offs and progress clearly.
