Back-End Block Chain Developer IV

About the role

We’re building the secure, scalable infrastructure that powers the future of institutional digital finance — and we’re looking for motivated members to join us.

Responsibilities

• Security engineering
• Cryptography and secure protocol design
• Blockchain programming and distributed systems
• Research-backed engineering that bridges theory and practice
• Security Engineers: Should have expertise in secure software development and cryptography engineering. This role will be responsible to work with cryptographers to build a high secured and resilient crypto and tokenized assets custody solution.
• This role will involve hands on programming in your day to day and a star candidate should be proficient in secure coding practices, especially in C/C++, Go, or Rust, to implement cryptographic code that is resistant to known security attacks (e.g. side-channel attacks).
• They should also know how to use or audit cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, or MPC-specific libraries) and be familiar with hardware security features (like Intel SGX and HSMs).
• They must be comfortable working with MPC or cryptographic frameworks typically used to build crypto custody solution.
• Strong threat modeling skills are required to anticipate and mitigate potential attack vectors (such as man-in-the-middle during the MPC rounds, malicious client apps, etc.).
• Experience with cryptographic protocols (e.g., having implemented or audited a key exchange or signature scheme) and knowledge of common pitfalls (like poor random number generation or improper error handling leaking information) are essential.
• They should have experience integrating with blockchain nodes/APIs is important since the wallet backend will need to assemble and broadcast transactions on multiple networks.
• Their understanding of blockchain transaction formats (Bitcoin UTXOs, Ethereum RLP, etc.) and ability to parse and create transactions for signing is crucial.
• Knowledge of secure storage and databases is also needed – for instance, how to securely store an encrypted key share or audit log on the server side.
• The solution will orchestrate communication between signing parties, they should be skilled in networking (sockets, RPC frameworks) and concurrency control.
• Familiarity with cloud security (to avoid misconfigurations) and containerization can be beneficial for deployment.
• Experience working with Trusted execution environment like Intel SGX including remote attestation.
