资深软件工程师 - Go & Rust，区块链基础设施
Senior Software Engineer - Go & Rust, Blockchain Infrastructure
Quicknode 是一家基于云的基础设施公司，为区块链生态系统提供支持。
我们的使命是成为不可或缺的实用工具，使全球的企业和创新者能够使用区块链技术构建下一代 Web3 业务和应用。Quicknode 得到了包括 Tiger Global、Y Combinator、SoftBank 和 Seven Seven Six Fund 在内的世界顶级投资机构的支持。Quicknode 团队有超过 110 人，为服务数十亿请求的优秀客户维护高性能的全球数据基础设施。
我们是一家全球远程办公的公司，在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡和葡萄牙里斯本设有办公室。
职级描述
Quicknode 为在链上构建的团队在 80 多个区块链网络上部署了机构级别的基础设施——Core RPC API、Streams、Webhooks、Clusters 和开发者工具。支撑这些基础设施的工程团队需要一位高级个人贡献者，能够设计、构建和改进可大规模处理和提供区块链数据的分布式系统，同时在 Go 和 Rust 中工作。
这是一个注重实践的工程和技术领导角色，适合能够在高吞吐量的 Go 服务和性能与安全关键的 Rust 组件之间自如切换的人。你将从设计到生产全程负责复杂系统，并提升可靠性、性能、安全性和运维质量的工程标准。
该职位向区块链基础设施团队的工程领导汇报，目前不直接管理下属。随着职责范围的扩大，你将承担更大的系统责任，指导其他工程师，并帮助制定跨团队采用的工程标准——这是迈向资深工程师或首席工程师的自然路径。
你将负责
- 在 Go 和 Rust 中设计、构建和优化高吞吐、低延迟的后端服务、API 和数据处理系统，用于生产环境的区块链基础设施。
- 负责生产环境的 Go 服务和 Rust 组件，包括其架构、接口、并发模型、内存和资源效率、测试、可观测性、部署和运维。
- 设计分布式系统，用于摄取、处理、验证和提供区块链数据，并确保一致性、容错性、可扩展性和可用性的强保证。
- 全程负责技术工作，包括需求、架构、实现、测试、部署、可观测性、事件响应和持续改进。
- 参与技术决策和架构设计，推动团队的技术发展和最佳实践。

Quicknode is a cloud-based infrastructure company that powers the blockchain ecosystem.
Our mission is to be the indispensable utility that empowers companies and innovators globally to build next-generation, Web3 enabled businesses & applications using blockchain technology. Quicknode is backed by some of the world's best investors including Tiger Global, Y Combinator, SoftBank, and the Seven Seven Six Fund. The Quicknode team has over 110 people maintaining high performance global data infrastructure for amazing customers serving billions of requests daily.
We are a global remote company with offices in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Lisbon, Portugal.
THE ROLE
Quicknode deploys institutional-grade infrastructure - Core RPC API, Streams, Webhooks, Clusters, and developer tooling - across 80+ blockchain networks for teams building onchain. The Engineering team behind this infrastructure needs a senior individual contributor who can design, build, and improve the distributed systems that ingest, process, and serve blockchain data at scale, working across both Go and Rust.
This is a hands-on engineering and technical-leadership role for someone who moves comfortably between high-throughput Go services and performance- and security-critical Rust components. You will own complex systems from design through production and raise the engineering bar on reliability, performance, security, and operational quality.
This role reports into Engineering leadership for the Blockchain Infrastructure team and carries no direct reports at this level. As scope grows, you will take on larger system ownership, mentor other engineers, and help set engineering standards adopted across teams - a natural path toward Staff or Principal Engineer.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design, build, and optimize high-throughput, low-latency backend services, APIs, and data-processing systems in both Go and Rust for production blockchain infrastructure.
- Own production Go services and Rust components, including their architecture, interfaces, concurrency models, memory and resource efficiency, testing, observability, deployment, and operation.
- Architect distributed systems that ingest, process, validate, and serve blockchain data with strong guarantees around consistency, fault tolerance, scalability, and availability.
- Own technical work end to end, including requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, observability, incident response, and continuous improvement.
- Profile and benchmark production systems, identify bottlenecks, and improve throughput, latency, resource efficiency, resilience, and correctness under load.
- Assess security risks in blockchain and distributed-system components and design or review controls that protect transactions, data, credentials, and system integrity.
- Debug complex failures across services, databases, streaming systems, networks, and blockchain nodes, then drive durable root-cause fixes.
- Partner with Product, Infrastructure, Security, and Developer Experience teams to translate customer and protocol requirements into maintainable systems.
- Lead design and code reviews, mentor engineers, document important decisions, and establish engineering standards that improve quality across teams.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
Minimum Qualifications:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial experience building and operating backend or distributed systems in high-scale production environments.
- Advanced professional proficiency in both Go and Rust, with demonstrated experience shipping and operating production software in each language. Go and Rust are both core requirements for this role, not interchangeable alternatives.
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems, algorithms and data structures, concurrency, memory safety and ownership, databases, networking, operating systems, and production software architecture.
- A record of delivering reliable, scalable systems with measurable improvements in performance, availability, correctness, or developer experience.
- Experience with blockchain infrastructure, high-throughput APIs, node or RPC infrastructure, data-streaming pipelines, or similarly demanding distributed platforms.
- Experience applying secure-design principles, threat modeling, and disciplined testing to systems where correctness and availability are critical.
- Strong written and verbal communication, sound technical judgment, and the ability to lead ambiguous, cross-team projects without constant direction.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Ethereum, Solana, or other major blockchain protocols and their node, RPC, indexing, or transaction-processing architecture.
- Experience designing clean interfaces between Go services and Rust systems, libraries, or performance-sensitive components.
- Experience designing or reviewing cryptographic, wallet, signing, custody, or other security-sensitive systems.
- Experience with streaming and data infrastructure such as Kafka, queues, event-driven services, distributed databases, or large-scale observability systems.
- Demonstrated technical leadership through architecture ownership, mentorship, incident leadership, or engineering standards adopted by multiple teams.
