Job description

Conduit is an enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure and tooling platform powering the next generation of on-chain applications. Our platform supports many of the most notable teams in crypto, with use cases spanning payments, tokenization, and beyond. Built for security, customization, and scalability, Conduit delivers production-grade reliability paired with deep blockchain expertise - so teams can stay focused on what matters most: their product.

Backed by a $37M Series A led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures, Conduit is a remote-first company with offices in San Francisco and New York City for those who prefer a hybrid environment. Our team brings experience from companies like Meta, Amazon, Aave, Compound, and Paradigm.

We're building the infrastructure layer that will power on-chain finance for the next decade.

If you want to build something people rely on every day, join us.

About The Role

Conduit's backend team builds the systems that power the Conduit Platform. You will be instrumental in designing, building, and scaling out the next-generation of Ethereum services at Conduit. This is a great opportunity to make a massive impact building scalable distributed Ethereum based solutions.

In this role you'll be working on building out scalable, efficient, and performant EVM based solutions for the Conduit Platform. This includes improving the Node, EVM, and supporting components; as well as exploring alternative solutions such as Reth - and their potential for positive impact in the Conduit Platform.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and evolve the EVM Node solutions powering the Conduit Platform
• Deliver scalable and robust software solutions in a devops environment
• Create and improve tooling and process to improve maintainability and reliability
• Participate in oncall rotation

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of the EVM and surrounding Node
• Experience working with ethereum internals (i.e. EVM, debuggers, block explorers, tracers, etc.)
• Understanding of tooling patterns and practices for developers on EVM networks
• Experience designing, implementing, and running production services
• Experience debugging complex issues across the stack, such as networking issues, performance problems, or memory leaks
• Collaborate effectively with other engineers to solve complex technical problems (mentoring, peer-reviews, design reviews, etc.).

We think you'll find this work really exciting if you:

• Love the EVM for what it is, and are excited about building best in class tooling and infrastructure for it and around it.
• Are excited to push the envelope of EVM performance at scale

Our tech stack
