  • DevOps experience (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS).
  • Web3 or DeFi protocol development experience.
Conditions & Benefits

Why Join Us

  • Build the backend systems powering the Layer 1 for Verifiable Finance.
  • Collaborate with experts across blockchain, AI, and financial infrastructure.
  • Shape the foundation for a verifiable, transparent, global trading system.
  • Thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact engineering environment.
