Backend Engineer (Blockchain Infrastructure)

Tags: Web3 Jobs • Cryptocurrency Developer Jobs • Web3 Infrastructure Jobs • Blockchain Backend Jobs • Cryptocurrency Remote Jobs • Blockchain Full Time JobsSaifuro checks payments that AI agents try to make. An agent asks to spend, we compare the request with a mandate a human approved earlier, and the answer comes back signed so the receiving side can verify it. There's escrow on Base and Solana for trades between agents, and settlement is in USDC, onchain. We never hold customer funds. The docs are public at docs.saifuro.com, and the people who use them are developers building agents and the teams selling APIs to those agents.Every payment Saifuro approves ends onchain, as a USDC transfer or an escrow release on Base or Solana. Your job is to follow it there: watch the chains, record what actually happened, and tie it back to the decision that allowed it. Call it blockchain developer, infrastructure engineer, Go developer or Rust developer if you prefer.What you'd be doing• Settlement. Build and own the service that watches Base and Solana and records every USDC payment and escrow release Saifuro approved, exactly once and only after it's final.• Reconciliation. Match each settled payment to the decision that approved it, so our customers' finance teams can close the month from our records.• Reliability. Keep the records right through RPC provider outages, with nothing missed or counted twice when we switch providers.• Next year, Ethereum, Arbitrum and Polygon join Base and Solana, and our customers' month-end close becomes automatic, built on your records. You'll help shape both from the start.What we need from you• You've built a backend service that reads from a blockchain, on an EVM chain or Solana.• You live in one of the countries we can hire in.Beyond these requirements, we'll support you in learning whatever else the role demands. If your experience is relevant but your title differs, we would still like to hear from you. Work outside a job counts too: open source, hackathons and your own projects.It helps, but isn't required, if you've dealt with finality and reorgs, if you've run your own nodes or worked at an RPC or indexing provider, if you've built payments or a ledger before, if you know Solana's account model or the internals of an EVM client, if you've used Substreams, Geyser or webhook-based indexing, or if you've been on call for something that moved money.Pay and benefits• Salary $160,000 to $205,000. That's the US range. Outside the US we pay in USD, or in USDC if you'd rather, and set the offer against the top of the local market.• Equity: 0.25% of Saifuro, vesting.• Health: 100% of medical, dental and vision premiums for US employees, 75% for dependents. Outside the US, the local plan through our employer of record, or $300 a month toward private cover.• 25 days of paid vacation plus your public holidays, and we close between Christmas and New Year.• 14 weeks of paid parental leave, for any parent.• A laptop and $1,000 toward your workspace.• $1,500 a year for learning, conferences included. That's on top of the events you'll attend for work: six to eight a year, planned a quarter ahead, on the company.Hours are flexible. The one thing we ask is to be online from 14:00 to 17:00 UTC, when the team overlaps for calls and quick questions. That's a window, not the working day. The rest of your hours are yours to arrange. A mainnet incident doesn't keep office hours. If that window is the middle of your night, say so and we'll work something out.You can combine this with a job at another company, as long as the two don't conflict.How to applyEmail with the subject "Backend Engineer (Blockchain Infrastructure)".
