Responsibilities

  • Build and own off-chain systems
  • Design and build the off-chain systems and infrastructure that power Edge's on-chain products - validator and staking architectures, custody and key management integrations, compliance automation, and the APIs and services that connect institutional workflows to on-chain settlement.
  • Own deployments end-to-end: infrastructure-as-code, observability, audit logging, runbooks, and the SLAs that institutional clients depend on.
  • Take ownership of architecture and implementation, not just execution against a spec.
  • Research and design new systems
  • Move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigor.
  • Contribute to technical research and help define the direction of new systems.
  • Engage with emerging on-chain primitives and assess how they translate into production-grade infrastructure for regulated institutions.

Requirements

  • You own your work end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and operability. You move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigour, and you're comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, backend engineering, and production cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience designing and operating systems with real reliability, security, and auditability requirements.
  • A track record of taking ideas from prototype to production with care and rigour.
  • Comfort working in a high-autonomy, fast-moving environment.
  • Working knowledge of blockchain systems - Ethereum, Solana, validator operations, or on-chain protocols - or a clear track record of picking up new domains deeply and quickly.
  • High agency, low ego. You own your work end-to-end and hold yourself accountable for quality.
  • Bonus Points:
  • Experience with regulated financial infrastructure, custody systems, or institutional capital markets workflows.
  • Background running validator infrastructure or staking systems at scale.
  • Familiarity with secure key handling, HSMs, or distributed systems at scale.
  • Prior work integrating with KYC/AML, treasury, or risk systems.
