Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and optimize backend services, platform infrastructure, and scalable APIs to support the Aptos blockchain ecosystem. Build and maintain node infrastructure, indexing services, SDKs, and developer tools to enable network growth.
Requires over 5 years of experience building scalable backend systems using languages like Rust, Go, or C++. Candidates must have a deep understanding of distributed systems, API design, and systems programming.
Aptos is a people-first blockchain on a mission to help billions of people achieve universal and fair access to decentralized assets in a safe and scalable way.
Founded by some of the original creators and maintainers that researched, designed, and built the Diem blockchain to serve this purpose, we have dedicated several years toward this mission. We believe the open-source Diem technology we have developed is an important foundation of a safe and scalable web3 world where everyone has more equitable opportunities to grow and access financial assets with lower fees and fewer intermediaries.
Aptos (Ohlone for "The People") encompasses our mission and ethos for why we build.
We're looking for a talented, driven Senior Software Engineer to build the critical infrastructure that powers the Aptos blockchain ecosystem.
This role will have significant impact and visibility - the systems you build will directly enable thousands of developers to build on Aptos. You'll work on APIs, indexers, node infrastructure, SDKs, and developer tools that form the foundation of the network. You'll help shape technical direction and may grow into leading other engineers as the team scales.
You should love solving hard distributed systems problems and have a passion for building robust, scalable infrastructure. You will be joining a lean team with a lot of autonomy – you should be a self-starter and thrive on self-directed work in a fast-paced environment.
This role sits in our Palo Alto, CA or New York, NY office.
