Senior Staff Backend Engineer Location: Manhattan, New York Onsite | Full-time We are hiring on behalf of our client who is the development powerhouse behind one of the largest and most high-traffic platforms in the digital asset space. Currently processing ~$1B in daily volume, their technology stack handles low-latency, high-throughput, and constant load at a scale few companies ever reach. The Role In this role, you will act as a technical anchor, overseeing the integrity and evolution of their core backend systems. You will balance high-level architectural governance with deep-tier execution, driving technical excellence from the front. Your primary focus will be the proactive mitigation of scaling risks and the design of durable, fault-tolerant systems capable of sustaining high-throughput workloads. What You’ll Do: Own & Execute: Directly write and ship production code across core services, owning the design and implementation of high-scale distributed systems. Architect for Scale: Make principled decisions that balance rapid iteration with long-term scalability and maintainability. Drive Initiatives: Lead multi-service projects spanning storage, compute, APIs, and blockchain infrastructure. Set the Standard: Establish patterns for observability, reliability, and performance tuning while raising the engineering bar through design reviews and RFCs. Technical Leadership: Act as a technical anchor during incidents and mentor senior peers through technical depth and clarity of thought. Optimize Velocity: Improve internal developer experience by evolving tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and service abstractions. They are looking for a high-agency engineer who shapes direction by building. This role requires a rare blend of deep technical intuition and the ability to thrive in a high-intensity environment. Experience: 10+ years of backend engineering experience, having navigated multiple cycles of building and operating distributed systems in production. Technical Depth: Expertise in Rust, Go, or TypeScript , paired with a strong intuition for systems-level engineering. Systems Design: Mastery of distributed systems (consensus, failure modes, replication, consistency models) and complex data modeling. Problem Solving: Proven ability to own ambiguous, cross-cutting problems that span multiple teams and services. Leadership: Recognized as a technical authority by peers; you lead through execution and technical excellence rather than just management. Culture Fit: You thrive in an in-person, high-intensity environment with unconventional hours and high expectations. Bonus: Direct experience within the crypto/blockchain ecosystem.
