We're partnering with a dynamic startup that's redefining the intersection of security and blockchain technology. Their engineering team is small but mighty, led by seasoned tech veterans who've scaled successful ventures from the ground up.

Why This Role Matters

  • Continuous learning is built into the culture – if you're curious about a new technology, you'll have the freedom to explore it
  • Your equity isn't just a number – the team is laser-focused on customer success to maximize the value of your stake

Technical Environment

  • Frontend: React + TypeScript
  • Backend: Python + FastAPI
  • Infrastructure: Cloud services, Kubernetes, containerized applications
  • Modern development practices with emphasis on scalability and security

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 3-7 years of hands-on development in SaaS (or 2-7 years in crypto/web3)
  • Experience owning projects end-to-end and driving technical decisions
  • Background spanning both established tech companies and high-growth startups
  • Strong academic foundation from a leading university
  • Passion for building secure, scalable systems
  • Desire to work in-person with a collaborative team in San Francisco (North Beach)

Beyond the Code

The founding team has created an environment where:

  • Questions are encouraged, especially the ones that challenge conventional thinking
  • Your learning and growth are prioritized alongside business objectives
  • Team success is valued over individual heroics
  • Work-life balance actually means something – they want you energized, not burned out
