About the Role
Ready to shape the future of blockchain? As a Senior Backend Engineer at Tenderly, you’ll take on the role of technical lead for a highly skilled team. You’ll drive the design and implementation of key backend systems like billing, usage tracking, and access control, ensuring our platform remains scalable, secure, and reliable.

Build Core Systems:
Design and implement critical backend components, including internal billing and usage tracking, distributed rate-limiting engines, and real-time audit logging.
Engineer for Security and Scale:
Develop systems for authorization and verification, access control mechanisms, and anti-abuse tools, ensuring robust performance for 10,000+ users and beyond.
Own End-to-End Solutions:
Lead the development of complete product features, from concept to deployment. Build the “plumbing” for mission-critical systems with reliability and scalability in mind.
Modernize Legacy Systems:
Upgrade and evolve existing systems to align with future growth, ensuring they are efficient, scalable, and secure.
Collaborate Across Teams:
Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders, aligning on priorities and fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
