Job summary

Crypto.com is hiring for a backend leader to design and operate Go-based services that list and settle event contracts around the clock. You’ll migrate core workflows from Python/Airflow to Go and durable job processing while preserving live markets.

You will design data pipelines with multi-provider input, ensure idempotent reconciliation, and build resilient settlement logic for late results, cancellations, and outages.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and running production backend systems with ownership from design through on-call
• Strong Go skills or deep experience in another backend language with Go willingness
• Deep Postgres knowledge: schema design, migrations, queries, transactions, isolation levels
• Experience designing distributed systems: concurrency, idempotency, retries, at-least-once processing, failure handling
• Record of leading multi-team projects and making sound architecture trade-offs
• Clear writing and good judgment when requirements are unclear

Responsibilities

• Own the design of Go backend services that list and settle event contracts around the clock
• Lead the migration from Python/Airflow to Go services and durable job processing without breaking live markets
• Design pipelines that ingest data from multiple providers and reconcile differences idempotently
• Build robust settlement logic with late/corrected results, cancellations, voided markets, and outages
• Write and review design docs and set engineering standards across teams
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design feedback
• Take part in on-call, lead incident response, and reduce recurring incidents
