About this role

Ethena Labs is seeking a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to design and build backend systems for a high-usage consumer app, focusing on payment and authentication solutions.

Description

Ethena builds investment products that benefit from the speed, programmability, and compliance advantages of blockchain tokenization. This new engineering team owns a money-movement product built on top of Ethena's stablecoin infrastructure — payments, payouts, deposits, transfers, and reconciliation — plus the app-facing APIs and authentication backend the native mobile app depends on. This is a senior IC role with real design authority over the backend.

Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and own complex backend systems for a high-usage consumer app
  • Own the app-facing API contract as a product: versioned, backward-compatible endpoints with client idempotency keys, a consistent error model, and clean pagination, built in partnership with the iOS team
  • Own the authentication and authorization backend, including the passkey/WebAuthn relying party, session/token lifecycle, and authorization enforcement at every API boundary
  • Defend the auth surface against abuse through rate limiting, anomaly detection, and secure handling of PII and secrets
  • Set patterns, tests, and documentation so the backend can be safely extended by any engineer
  • Trace and document money-paths end-to-end, from API through wallet/executor/submitter/indexer, event streams, and on-chain settlement
  • Ship fast, test-first, with test-driven and behaviour-driven development
Requirements
  • Proven experience building and operating backend systems that move real money in production — payments, exchange/settlement, lending, banking, or crypto
  • Experience designing and owning client-facing APIs consumed by a mobile app at scale: contracts, versioning, idempotency keys, error models, pagination, rate limiting
  • Experience building or operating an authentication/authorization backend — OAuth2/OIDC, JWT session/token lifecycle, RBAC/ABAC scopes, MFA/step-up — ideally a WebAuthn/passkey relying party
  • Hands-on integration with real financial third parties end-to-end (card issuing, KYC/fiat ramp partners, or payments/settlement providers)
  • On-chain settlement literacy from the backend — nonces, gas, reorgs, RPC failure, confirmation depth
  • Strong TypeScript (or a fast path from Go/Kotlin/Rust/Java), with Postgres, an event/queue system (NATS/Kafka/SQS-class), and gRPC at production scale
  • A test-first culture — BDD/integration testing with real dependencies — and fluency with agentic development workflows (Claude Code, MCP)
