About the Role
We are building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who obsesses over correctness/efficiency and likes to get involved across backend/distributed systems. Help us build our test harness so we can build faster with confidence by owning and building internal tools, dev infrastructure, and automation.
Responsibilities
- Own the test harness for our core systems: integration tests, formal verification, and chaos testing across the ledger, netting algorithm, money movement, and payment ordering.
- Build correctness guarantees that let the rest of the team ship faster.
- Design and build internal tools that amplify our productivity.
- Own CI/CD pipelines, dev environments, and deployment infrastructure.
- Instrument our systems with observability like logging, tracing, alerting.
- Help shape how we responsibly bring AI-assisted development into core financial infrastructure, without giving up correctness guarantees.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in platform engineering, developer tooling, infrastructure, or reliability engineering.
- Comfortable with AWS or GCP, Kubernetes, and TypeScript.
- You've built test infrastructure for systems where correctness actually matters: payments, trading, ledgers, or platforms with similar requirements.
- You reason naturally about state, ordering, idempotency, failure modes, and consistency in distributed systems.
- Experience with formal verification, property-based testing, or chaos engineering is a big plus, especially if you've spent time mastering tools like Temporal or TigerBeetle.
- You have strong opinions about what good internal tooling looks like, and you build it proactively.
- You thrive in ambiguity, viewing a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.
