Job description

Octagon Talent Solutions is a full-service technology recruitment and staffing company based in South Florida. We humanize technical recruitment by identifying candidates' long-term career goals and assessing cultural fit when presenting opportunities. Our focus on long-term relationships helps ensure placements that last. 


Our client is a well-funded Web3 fintech startup redefining the future of real-time financial infrastructure. Our platform bridges traditional finance and decentralized systems, enabling seamless, secure, and transparent access to blockchain-powered financial services. They’re not just building APIs — they’re creating the data rails for the decentralized economy, supporting everything from real-time transaction monitoring to decentralized asset management. With deep backing from top VCs and a founding team of fintech and blockchain veterans, we’re scaling fast — and we’re looking for core engineers to shape what comes next.


What You’ll Do


·      Architect, develop, and maintain real-time APIs and backend systems powering crypto trading, DeFi analytics, and digital asset tracking.

·      Build scalable microservices with NestJS and gRPC, and design APIs used by developers, trading platforms, and financial institutions.

·      Manage streaming pipelines with Kafka to process high-throughput event data from blockchains and financial markets.

·      Implement WebSocket-based services using Bun to push live updates (price feeds, wallet events, smart contract logs).

·      Store and optimize time-series data using QuestDB for hot access and ClickHouse for long-term analytics and compliance reporting.

·      Secure and orchestrate APIs through APISIX, with features like rate limiting, authentication, and request transformation.

·      Contribute to infrastructure scalability, observability, and resilience in a mission-critical, high-uptime environment.

·      Collaborate with smart contract developers, frontend engineers, and data scientists to ship features end-to-end.


The Tech Stack


You’ll be working with bleeding-edge tools purpose-built for real-time finance:

·      NestJS – Modular TypeScript backend framework

·      gRPC + Protobuf – Blazing fast internal service communication

·      Kafka – Event streaming for blockchain and financial data ingestion

·      Bun – Ultra-fast runtime for high-frequency WebSocket communication

·      QuestDB – Low-latency time-series database for recent data

·      ClickHouse – Scalable analytics database for long-term storage

·      APISIX – Cloud-native API Gateway


What We’re Looking For


·      5+ years in backend engineering, ideally with a focus on financial systems or high-throughput platforms

·      Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and frameworks like NestJS

·      Experience with event-driven architecture and tools like Kafka

·      Comfort working with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and microservices

·      Knowledge of blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, or Web3 APIs (e.g., Ethers.js, Web3.js) is a big plus

·      Solid experience with WebSockets and real-time messaging systems

·      Proven ability to design and optimize time-series data solutions

·      Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines)

·      Security-first mindset — especially around financial and cryptographic systems

·      Self-starter attitude, with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment


What They Offer


·      Top-of-market salary + possible equity + crypto bonuses

·      Remote-first, async-friendly culture with flexible hours

·      The chance to work on the cutting edge of finance and Web3

·      A technical leadership role with influence over architecture and roadmap

·      Collaborative, transparent team culture with real ownership


Join the Future of Finance



If you’re passionate about building real-time, decentralized financial infrastructure with an elite engineering team, we’d love to meet you.
