About The Role

Were seeking a highly skilled Platform Engineer with deep experience in building systems from the ground up. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex distributed-systems challenges, shaping core infrastructure, and working across both backend engineering and DevOps.

You'll help design and implement scalable platform components, contribute to high-performance backend systems, and support infrastructure that enables rapid iteration and secure, reliable deployments. A strong background in Go (Golang) is essential, along with familiarity in modern cloud-native tooling.

An understanding of EVM-based systems or blockchain fundamentals is a plus, but not required.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain core platform components and backend services
Develop scalable systems from scratch with a strong focus on performance and reliability
Contribute to architecture decisions across distributed systems, APIs, and internal services
Collaborate with engineering teams to design platform primitives and developer tooling
Support infrastructure needs across CI/CD, observability, networking, and environment management
Ensure systems are secure, maintainable, and resilient under high throughput
Troubleshoot production issues and drive continuous improvement

Required Skills & Experience

Strong experience developing backend systems in Go
Proven track record of building systems from scratch (not just maintaining existing services)
Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance tuning
Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization, and CI/CD pipelines
Comfortable working across infrastructure, systems design, and backend engineering
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in a remote-first environment

Nice-to-Have

Familiarity with EVM-based architectures, blockchain systems, or smart contract ecosystems
Knowledge of modern networking, observability tooling, or high-performance systems
