- Deep understanding of PostgreSQL data modeling and performance
- Experience designing APIs and explaining tradeoffs clearly
- Experience building or evolving systems that had to scale
- Ability to reason about architecture without hiding behind buzzwords
- 4+ years of experience working in Rust in production environments, ideally on scalable web or blockchain-native backends
- Strong experience designing modern, scalable backend architectures from scratch — including authentication, real-time messaging, microservices, APIs, caching, and database design
- Proficiency with Rust frameworks like Actix, Axum, Tokio, or Rocket
- Experience with WebAssembly, gRPC, or GraphQL is a plus
- Passion for decentralization, crypto, Web3, and building products that empower users
- Comfortable working without product managers, defining scope, and leading engineering direction
