The role is based in the GMT+8 Timezone. We can engage you in Singapore, China or remotely if applicable.

About Us

DeGate is a multi chain platform that lets users buy any token on one platform without bridging to other chains. The Swap function (Beta) allows users to buy any token on Solana, Base and BSC and other leading chains without bridging.

We are looking for individuals who are keen to join our group of talented project contributors. You are someone who:

• has an immense interest in blockchain-related technology
• well on your way to being a Crypto‑Native
• has an insatiable thirst for growth and learning,
• is keen to build and grow together with the industry

What you'll be doing

As an AI Pair‑Programmer, who will be using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor to design and drive blockchain solutions for our core product. Your focus is shipping production‑grade blockchain integrations and features.

• Define software functionality through well‑crafted natural language prompts to LLMs
• Collaborate efficiently with product and design teams to quickly scope, prototype, and build high‑quality production‑grade blockchain features and applications.
• Share best practice with the team to improve overall efficiency in using AI, through tools and architectural recommendations.
• Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Cursor) to generate, test, and refine code
• Evaluate AI‑generated code for functionality, accuracy, security, and performance
• Debug and troubleshoot issues, including through prompt refinement or manual edits as needed
• Maintain documentation of development processes, limitations, and AI behavior patterns
• Stay informed about best practices, new tools, and emerging capabilities in LLM‑driven development

What you'll need

• Solid software engineering experience (typically 5+ years or equivalent), with a strong track record of delivering complex systems end‑to‑end.
• Experience working on brownfield projects with many stakeholders (existing systems, multiple teams, evolving requirements).
• Strong learning agility, with natural curiosity for new ideas, tools, and technologies.
• Owner mindset and clear communication, capable of making critical technical trade‑offs and driving effective cross‑team collaboration.
• Proven AI‑accelerated development track record:
  • You have shipped at least one substantial project or major feature where 40–50% of the code was generated by AI under your direction.
  • Your AI coding experience is from building new functionality from scratch, not only bug‑fixing or small refactor.
• Comfortable running a tight validation loop for AI‑generated code: writing good prompts, inspecting outputs, adding tests, and iterating until the behavior is correct and safe.
  
• Blockchain Passion: Strong interest in blockchain technology and the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
