Founding Blockchain Engineer

About the Role:

A founding blockchain engineer is responsible for the design and implementation of foundational components of Omni’s stack, spanning infrastructure and backend, while also having responsibilities to collaborate with the wider engineering team to improve our overall architecture and code quality.

While full stack engineers are focused on smart contract and application development, blockchain engineers are focused on node software and infrastructure. However, these are not strict rules – our team is small and flat, and there will be opportunities to contribute across the stack.

Responsibilities:

• Develop our core software stack from the design stage all the way to production ready implementations. Primarily in golang.
• Design, build, maintain, test, and improve our node software and coordinating agents to power our distributed networks
• Implement and optimize CI/CD to improve build and test times. Detect and improve performance, stability for microservices.
• Improve the design of peer’s architecture through thoughtful, professionally communicated feedback.
• Write performant SDKs and documentations enabling clients to interact with the Web3 APIs
• Contribute to open source projects and play a role in building out the crypto ecosystem at large.

Requirements:

• 3-7 years of experience in a backend software engineering role
• Significant experience with a systems language like Go (preferred), Rust, or C++
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Extensive experience managing the software development life cycle for medium to large projects
• Experience building SDKs, APIs, or otherwise building and maintaining a production system at scale
• Experience with AWS, GCP or similar cloud providers
• Desire to keep up with modern best practices in software development and crypto, and shape our tech stack as we build out new systems and services
