Are you the one?

We are looking for a passionate TypeScript Senior Engineer to help us build products in the crypto space.

If you’re interested in building data focused products, with performance in mind, using modern web & cloud technologies (AWS, Cloudflare, etc).

If you have an experience in dealing with big or huge data stores (billions or trillions or more items) and make them accessible with ease.

If you know how to build a good web API in a cost aware and efficient fashion.

Responsibilities:

• Build and design data-intensive applications
• Learn and understand the multipart ecosystem of the L2 StarkNet
• Envision and develop features to help expand the product (not coding only)
• Collaborate with the team on all aspects of product development
• Identify and advocate for improvements and best practices
• Review other team members’ work

• Relational Databases (PostgreSQL, or similar)
• Cloud-functions concepts (AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers), architecture and development
• AWS (lambda, step functions, RDS, S3)
• HTTP protocol (for example: ETags, Caching), JSON, Web APIs(for example: localStorage, webCrypto, etc.)
• Software development background (3+ years of experience or know your stuff - we will check)
• At least basic knowledge of Ethereum and blockchain concepts in general (Blocks, Transactions, SHA3)
• Solidity (events, state, infrastructure: Infura/Alchemy)
• Experience with Git version control
• Communication & working in a team

Nice to have:

• A proven web3 exposure

Why join this team?

This position provides an interesting opportunity to participate in delivering a vital part of StarkNet. Besides dealing with loads of data, you’ll learn a lot about Ethereum, StarkNet and interactions between layers and will take part in scaling out Ethereum with StarkNet.
