  • 5+ years of relevant full-stack or backend development experience
  • Strong experience with cloud-based microservices architecture, including zero-trust design principles
  • Experience developing RESTful APIs (e.g., FastAPI) secured by OAuth2/JWT
  • Experience integrating asymmetric and/or symmetric encryption, hashing, and digital signatures in applications
  • Exposure to Web3 technologies such as smart contracts and multi-signature setups
  • Working knowledge of Docker containers and Helm charts
  • Ability to advocate for technical excellence and maintain high software engineering standards
  • Proven ability to give and receive thoughtful feedback on design documents
  • Previous experience leading an Agile team of developers (a plus)
  • Exposure to blockchain systems, zero-knowledge proofs, IETF RFCs, or FIPS/NIST/CNSA-validated cryptography (a plus)
  • Exposure to Istio Service Mesh and observability tooling (a plus)
  • Working knowledge of data structures, algorithms, databases (SQL and NoSQL), and in-memory data storage (a plus)
