Blockchain Protocol Engineer Jobs in Atlanta, GA

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi. Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell, WisdomTree, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, Lido, GMX and many others.

As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you will play a crucial role in driving the adoption of Chainlink products across the capital markets industry as we continue to expand our presence there. You need to have deep, hands‑on blockchain engineering expertise to join our customer‑facing technical team. This role is the engine behind our PoC, pilot, and production deployment motion with equal parts pre/post‑sales technical resource and delivery practitioner.

You will work directly with engineers, architects, and product owners at financial institutions, digital asset platforms, and capital markets infrastructure providers to design, build, and validate solutions. You are not a slide‑deck engineer; you write code, deploy contracts, instrument integrations, and stand behind what you build when it goes live.

You will also work directly with internal teams such as Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering and Legal and make a significant contribution to the ongoing development of the Chainlink capital markets product strategy.

• Drive the successful adoption of Chainlink products in the capital markets industry by establishing strong relationships with key stakeholders, including major financial institutions, and providing technical expertise and guidance throughout the sales and implementation process
• Contribute significantly to the development of the Chainlink capital markets product strategy by providing valuable insights, market feedback, and technical expertise, thereby influencing the direction and roadmap of the product suite
• Collaborate closely with internal technical teams, including developers and engineers, to provide feedback and guidance on product enhancements, bug fixes, and new feature development, ensuring that the capital markets requirements are effectively addressed
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the capital markets industry, including market trends, challenges, and emerging technologies, to effectively position and promote Chainlink products

• Experience with, and strong knowledge of blockchain technology and associated areas (e.g., DeFi, tokenisation / digital assets, digital identity, etc.)
• Hands‑on experience with middleware, integration architecture patterns, web services technologies, and APIs
• Software engineering or solutions engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a customer‑facing or delivery role (solutions engineering, professional services, technical consulting, or field engineering)
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying production or near‑production blockchain applications, not just familiarity, but shipped code on public or private networks
• Proven track record delivering PoC or pilot engagements with enterprise customers, including scoping, build, demo, and documentation
• Experience working in or with capital markets, financial services, fintech, or regulated industries with an understanding of how technology decisions interact with compliance, audit, and operational risk requirements
• Solidity development: writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts on EVM‑compatible networks; familiarity with common patterns (proxy upgradability, access control, multi‑sig, oracles, token standards)
• JavaScript/TypeScript/Go/Rust or C++ proficiency is particularly relevant for performance‑sensitive off‑chain components or ZK‑adjacent tooling

• Hands‑on experience with oracle network architectures, decentralized data feeds, proof‑of‑reserve mechanisms, or cross‑chain interoperability protocols
• Prior work on tokenized securities, digital bonds, fund tokenization, or real‑world asset (RWA) platforms at a financial institution or fintech
• Knowledge of post‑trade infrastructure: clearinghouses, CSDs, settlement engines, corporate actions processing, or custody platforms
• Experience operating blockchain node infrastructure: running validators, RPC nodes, or archive nodes in production
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Developer, or equivalent cloud certification
• Contributions to open‑source blockchain projects, developer tooling, or public protocol repositories
