Who are we?
IOG is a technology company focused on Blockchain research and development. We are renowned for our scientific approach to blockchain development, emphasizing peer-reviewed research and formal methods to ensure security, scalability, and sustainability. Our projects include decentralized finance (DeFi), governance, and identity management, aiming to advance the capabilities and adoption of blockchain technology globally.

About Midnight:
IOG's Midnight Tribe is a business technology provider and core contributor to the Midnight Network, a blockchain platform for developing decentralized applications that safeguard personal and commercial data. The Midnight Network is the first blockchain to offer programmable data isolation by leveraging zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to enable selective disclosure of on-chain information, helping developers implement necessary business policies, such as regulatory compliance.

What the role involves:
As Midnight's Solutions Engineer, you will be instrumental in planning, executing, and ensuring the successful delivery of technical solutions to customers and partners. This role is ideal for a dynamic, results-driven professional with a proven track record in managing complex technical initiatives. You will own a diverse portfolio of customer and partner-facing technical solutions and projects.

1. Engage with customers (e.g., Dapp developers, enterprises) and partners (e.g., wallets, system integrators) to support the delivery of technical solutions built on or interacting with Midnight's architecture, acting as their trusted advisor on all technical matters.
2. Create fit-for-purpose technology solutions that address business needs while being deliverable within reasonable time and budget, and aligned with strategic guidance.
3. Assist ecosystem and partnership teams in developing account and partner strategies, including discovery, creating technical proposals/responses, demonstrations, and technical sales activities.
4. Own the technical solution execution, including requirements, timelines, milestones, and resource management, and coordinate major releases and integrations.
5. Collaborate with Developer Relations, Product Owners, and engineering teams to align technical solutions with business goals.
6. Track progress using systems and tools, and implement risk management strategies to identify and mitigate potential issues.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Solution Manager or Technical Projects leader managing complex technical initiatives.
• Experience coordinating solutions delivered by or with third parties/vendors.
• Knowledge of public/private blockchain and/or distributed ledger technologies (DLTs).
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, engineering, or related field.
• Strong problem-solving skills and proactive challenge resolution.
• Excellent communication skills to convey technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
• Understanding of technology and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams; experience with blockchain architectures and DLTs is preferred.
• Experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, node.js, Rust, and scripting.
• Proficiency with Linux, Docker, Git, SDLC, CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Knowledge of blockchain technology, consensus algorithms, and smart contracts.
• Attention to detail in documentation and demos.
• Ability to utilize performance measurement tools (e.g., JIRA, Github, Agile, Scrum).
• Adaptability to fast-paced environments.
