  • Experience working on engineering teams in Agile development cycles.

  • Knowledge of databases and distributed systems.

  • Strong scripting and test automation knowledge.

  • Passionate about Web3, blockchain, decentralization, and a base understanding of how databases play into this.

  • Entrepreneurial spirit with the ability to autonomously problem solve when the solution isn't immediately apparent.

Benefits:
  • Competitive salary

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, disability/life insurance

  • 401(k) Plan

  • Kwil Token Allocations

  • Flexible PTO + Paid Holidays

  • A massive list of perks including discretionary add-on bonuses for hard work, attending exciting events/conferences/parties, strong team culture.
