What you'll do
- Design, build and maintain secure, scalable backend services and APIs for stablecoin issuance, including mint and burn flows, supply management and token configuration
- Build the controls that regulated issuers need, such as freeze and unfreeze, seizure into quarantine, pause and resume, and maker-checker approvals
- Integrate backend services with smart contracts on EVM-compatible networks, making sure blockchain interactions are reliable, idempotent and observable, and safe under failure
- Build event-driven services and signed webhooks that keep issuers, internal systems and ledgers in sync
- Make sure every issuance action has a complete, tamper-evident audit trail and reconciles accurately with downstream accounting systems
- Work with digital assets, ledger, identity and access, financial crime and security teams to deliver features end to end
- Contribute to architecture decisions, review code, mentor other engineers and champion engineering best practice within the squad
- Own your services in production, including monitoring, alerting, incident response and continuous improvement of reliability and performance
What we're looking for
- Strong, proven experience as a backend engineer building production systems, ideally in Java (Kotlin also welcome) with Spring Boot
- Hands-on experience designing microservices and event-driven architectures, ideally with Kafka or similar messaging platforms
- Experience building high-integrity transactional systems where correctness, idempotency, consistency and auditability are critical
- Experience designing clean, well-documented REST APIs and secure webhook integrations for external customers
- Experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS), containerisation and CI/CD pipelines
- A solid grasp of secure coding practices, access control and role-based permissions in regulated environments
- You take ownership of outcomes, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and do well in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
- You use AI tools and agentic workflows to speed up delivery and improve quality
Nice to have
- Experience with EVM-compatible networks, ERC-20 tokens, smart contract interaction (e.g. Web3j, ethers.js) or Solidity
- Previous experience with stablecoin issuance, tokenisation, custody or wallet infrastructure
- Familiarity with sanctions screening, Travel Rule or other regulatory controls for digital assets
- Experience in payments, banking or other regulated financial services
