Job description

TokenBrickLabs is a Seattle-based blockchain studio that designs, audits, and ships production Real-World Asset tokenization — issuance, identity, custody, and settlement rails for funds, fintechs, and operators. We hire globally and build for institutional security, compliance, and day-two operations, not slide-deck prototypes.

As a Backend Developer, you will own the off-chain core of that stack: APIs, services, and data pipelines that power listings, KYC, payments, and on-chain orchestration for operators and investors. The role is open as full-time or part-time.

Reports to

At TokenBrickLabs, we are engineering the institutional standard for Real-World Asset tokenization. Our mission is to ship platforms centered on security and compliance, requiring a commitment to technical excellence that extends beyond simply delivering code. As a global organization, we set a high bar for those driven to do their best work alongside world-class peers.We value engineers who treat development as a craft and own the outcome from concept to deployment. We expect our teams to bring structure to ambiguity and shape the frameworks that support our studio. We refuse to compromise on quality and seek problem solvers who thrive on high-impact technical challenges.

The Team: Platform Engineering

Platform Engineering builds the services that sit between protocol, identity, and product. We design APIs, reconciliation, and workflow systems that issuers can run after launch — KYC, payments, documents, and state that must match the chain. Reliability and auditability matter as much as feature velocity.

What you’ll do

• Design and build scalable REST/GraphQL APIs and microservices.
• Implement KYC/AML integrations, payment rails (fiat and stablecoin), and document workflows.
• Develop services that orchestrate on-chain transactions and reconcile on-chain/off-chain state.
• Build robust data models for properties, investors, valuations, and distributions.
• Own observability, performance, and security of backend systems.

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years of backend engineering with Node.js, Go, or Python.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS).
• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS / GCP).
• Solid grasp of authentication, authorization, and secure API design.

Nice to have

• Experience integrating blockchain nodes, KYC providers, or payment processors.
• Background in fintech ledgering, reconciliation, or workflow engines.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and idempotent payment flows.
• Opportunity to work at the bleeding edge of Web3 / crypto / DeFi.
• Flexible working conditions.
• Offer token/equity packages.
• Sponsored global events and travel.
• Annual global 2-week offsite.
• Signing and performance bonuses.
• Competitive remuneration (attractive salary, benefits, and incentives, including tokens and bonus opportunities).
