About The Role
The Protocol Backend Engineer will build the backend architecture that connects VistralNova's game systems with crypto networks, smart contracts, digital assets, and player-facing applications.
This role focuses on APIs, microservices, indexing, transaction handling, wallet-connected workflows, and real-time platform services.
You will help create the bridge between traditional game infrastructure and decentralized systems.
This means building reliable backend services that can support gameplay, asset ownership, on-chain events, user accounts, rewards, and marketplace features without making the user experience feel slow or complicated.
What You'll Do
Build backend services and APIs that connect game servers with crypto networks.Develop microservices for users, assets, races, rewards, marketplace activity, and transaction history.Integrate smart contracts, on-chain events, wallet flows, and digital asset data.Design reliable systems for indexing, syncing, and processing on-chain data.Work with frontend and game teams to deliver smooth wallet-connected user experiences.Improve backend performance, security, scalability, and observability.Support deployment, monitoring, debugging, and production issue resolution.
What We Look For
Strong backend development experience with production systems.Experience building APIs, microservices, or event-driven backend architecture.Understanding of on-chain transactions, wallets, smart contracts, and on-chain data.Ability to design scalable and secure backend services.Experience with databases, queues, caching, and system integration.Strong debugging and problem-solving ability.Clear communication across engineering, frontend, game, and product teams.
Nice to Have
Experience with digital asset systems, NFT systems, marketplaces, or reward platforms.Familiarity with Rust, Go, Node.js, Python, or similar backend technologies.Experience with on-chain indexing, RPC providers, event listeners, or wallet infrastructure.Experience working with cloud infrastructure and distributed systems.
