About the role: We are looking for a strong hands-on backend engineer to help evolve a production crypto payments platform. Our systems handle real blockchain transactions and money movement. Correctness, resilience, security, and safe delivery have direct consequences for customers and their funds. This is not a pure management role or an “architecture from a distance” position. You will design solutions, write and review production code, investigate incidents, and lead technical improvements through implementation. We are looking for someone who proactively identifies problems and opportunities, proposes pragmatic solutions, and takes ownership of delivering them. What you will do: Design and implement backend services and critical crypto payment flows using C# and modern .NET.Take technical ownership of complex changes that cross service and integration boundaries.Investigate production issues and improve observability using logs, metrics, traces, and business data.Turn recurring manual operational work into reliable automation, actionable signals, and concise reports.Improve complex and legacy areas incrementally, supported by appropriate tests and safe rollout strategies.Lead technical decisions, review designs and code, and help other engineers improve through practical guidance. We expect thoughtful use of modern tooling, including AI-assisted analysis and automation where it provides measurable value. We do not treat AI as a substitute for engineering judgment. What we are looking for Strong hands-on experience building and operating production systems with C# and modern .NET.Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, consistency, idempotency, and failure handling.Production experience with relational databases, caching, asynchronous processing, and service integrations.Experience deploying and operating production services in AWS and Kubernetes.Ability to diagnose problems across application, domain, persistence, and integration boundaries.Experience working with production logs, metrics, traces, and incident investigation.Sound security judgment for systems that handle money, credentials, and sensitive customer data.A pragmatic approach to legacy code: understand, measure, isolate, test, and improve rather than rewrite by default.Practical understanding of modern AI capabilities and limitations, without treating it as either magic or something to reject by default.Clear communication skills and professional working proficiency in English. Relevant technologies Our stack includes C#, modern .NET, ASP.NET Core, Microsoft Orleans, Entity Framework Core, MySQL, Redis, gRPC, AWS, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, and blockchain integrations. Direct experience with every technology is not required. The ability to understand unfamiliar production systems and improve them safely is more important. Nice to have Experience with crypto payments, blockchain infrastructure, fintech, or other high-integrity systems.Understanding of blockchain transactions, confirmations, reorganizations, node integrations, or wallet infrastructure.Experience improving observability or automating production operations.Previous technical leadership across multiple services or teams. What success looks like During your first months, you will: Understand at least one critical crypto payment flow end to end.Ship meaningful production changes in that area.Reduce a recurring operational or reliability problem through engineering and automation.Become a trusted technical owner during design discussions and production investigations. What we offer A senior role with real technical ownership and influence.A balance of hands-on engineering and technical leadership.Direct work on production crypto payment systems with meaningful engineering challenges.The ability to improve architecture and engineering practices through implementation.Direct collaboration with engineering, product, and company leadership.Remote work within GMT+0 to GMT+4.
