- Monitoring: Experience with observability tools such as Sentry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
- Soft Skills: Clear, proactive communication skills suited for a distributed, async-first team and a strong ownership mindset.
- Web3 Knowledge: Hands-on experience with blockchain systems, dApps, or smart contracts is highly preferred.
- Bonus Qualifications: Knowledge of Golang, prior experience in a high-autonomy startup environment, and location within time zones close to Europe (CET/EET).
Benefits
- Competitive Compensation: A market-leading salary and stock options, allowing team members to contribute to and share in the organization’s long-term success.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical insurance and a flexible work schedule.
