Snapshot

Join a high-impact AI + DeFi venture incubated by one of the earliest and most influential protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem ($8B+ TVL).

This role sits at the center of a major transformation — building an AI-powered governance engine designed to reshape how decentralized systems operate.

This is not just backend engineering — this is architecting the foundation of AI-native governance systems at scale.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Workflow automation (Notion database sync, governance pipelines)

  • Data pipelines across:

    • Blockchain nodes

    • DEX APIs

    • Lending protocols

  • Risk analytics data platform (accurate, historical, queryable)

  • Monitoring, validation, and deterministic systems

Phase 2 — AI-Native Platform Foundations

  • AI agent infrastructure (execution environments, guardrails, provenance)
  • Knowledge-work interfaces:

    • Tree explorers

    • Diff systems

    • Cognitive UI layers

  • Event-sourcing architecture + cryptographic proof systems

  • Human + AI collaboration tooling

What You'll Do

  • Lead architecture and development of core platform systems

  • Build and scale automation engines + data infrastructure

  • Drive projects end-to-end:

    • Design build deploy iterate

  • Define engineering standards:

    • Testing

    • Observability

    • Reliability

  • Operate in a fast-moving, ambiguity-driven environment

Tech Stack

  • TypeScript · Node.js · PostgreSQL · React
  • Python / Go / Rust / Java
  • APIs · Data Pipelines · AI Integrations

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years building production-grade backend systems

  • Strong TypeScript / Node.js expertise (non-negotiable)

  • Advanced SQL + relational data modeling (PostgreSQL preferred)

  • Experience building data pipelines with third-party APIs

  • Proficiency in at least one: Python, Go, Rust, or Java

  • Proven ability to lead technical projects end-to-end

Bonus:

  • AI/ML or agent-based systems

  • DeFi / blockchain experience

  • Event sourcing / complex system design

  • Open-source contributions

Compensation & Benefits

  • $250,000 – $315,000 base

  • Token-based incentives

  • Performance bonuses

  • Work on systems with real-world financial impact

Location & Eligibility

Remote (United States only)

  • Must be US-based & authorized to work

  • Fully distributed, async-first environment

Why This Role

  • Operate at the intersection of AI + DeFi + data infrastructure
  • Build AI-augmented tools for knowledge work and governance
  • Work on systems with real economic and protocol-level impact
  • Join at a early stage / transformation phase with high ownership
  • Fully remote, high-autonomy environment
