Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead initiatives to design, build, and optimize backend services and platform infrastructure for the Aptos blockchain. Additionally, you will develop scalable APIs, indexing services, and data pipelines to support trading data access.
Candidates must have 5+ years of experience building and shipping scalable backend systems using languages like Rust, Go, C++, Java, or Python. A deep understanding of systems programming, distributed systems, and API design is required.
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.
