Our Ethos
We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.
About the Role
You'll design, build, and maintain Soroban smart contracts on Stellar and the backend services that integrate with them, while contributing to shared infrastructure across EVM, Solana, and Stellar. Our platform powers crypto-backed card products — processing high transaction volumes, continuously ingesting on-chain data, and navigating the unique complexity of each chain, with scalability and reliability engineered in from day one.
What you'll do
- Own and evolve Soroban smart contracts end-to-end — from development through deployment and maintenance
- Build robust, scalable backend services that interact with Stellar, EVM, and Solana networks
- Scale our on-chain infrastructure to support millions of users globally — powering transactions, data ingestion, and real-time processing
- Play a central role in shaping the technical and product roadmap
- Drive architectural decisions in a fast-moving, rapidly evolving product
- Ship new capabilities quickly and iteratively to our customers
What we're looking for
- Deep expertise in the Stellar ecosystem, including Soroban's programming model, tooling, and best practices
- Strong proficiency in Rust
- Solid understanding of smart contract security patterns and common vulnerability classes
- Experience with Node.js and backend systems
- 2–10+ years of engineering experience; compensation will be calibrated accordingly
Nice to have, but not mandatory
- Fintech experience — neobank or card issuing background gets extra brownie points
- Familiarity with Stellar classic operations
