Senior Backend Engineer - Blockchain

SmartDeFi is introducing a new value layer: DeFi Risk Assessment. We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to help us make that happen.

What is DeFi?

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is a democratized alternative to the current system CeFi (Centralized Financial), where individuals can take control of their finances without the cost and risks of relying on intermediaries.

What is SmartDeFi?

SmartDeFi is an easy to use, non-custodial investment app which fulfills the needs of traditional investors who want to make their first DeFi investments, but don’t understand the risks involved or how to take the first steps.

The MVP app is built on Idle Finance (DeFi Protocol); Gnosis Safe (Multisig Wallet); Polygon Network (Layer 2 Aggregator); Wyre (Fiat On-ramp); and Torus Labs (Web3 Login).

SmartDeFi is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer for long term employment. This is a ground floor opportunity at a funded Web3 startup. You will be working directly with the CTO, iOS and Smart Contract developers on a daily basis.
