Join Chainstack and help power the next generation of blockchain data infrastructure.\nAbout us\nChainstack powers global blockchain applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, analytics, and everything in between. Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with one platform for nodes in the cloud, offered through preferred service providers, or self-hosted. Standardized node management puts reliability on autopilot and keeps performance predictable, giving operators control and transparency while developers get a consistent way to build and scale.\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a Product Engineerto join our data team and build systems for high-scale blockchain data access, indexing, and performance. In this role, you will own problems end to end, from understanding user needs to building, shipping, and improving production systems. You will work on performance-sensitive APIs, large datasets, and distributed systems, while applying AI-first development workflows.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the strategy, technical direction, delivery, and production quality of data infrastructure features from discovery to rollout.\nUnderstand user pain points around blockchain data access, latency, correctness, historical coverage, reliability, and operational visibility.\nTranslate product and platform needs into clear specs, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, implementation slices, and rollout plans.\nBuild backend and data systems in Go and/or Rust, and work across databases, queues, object storage, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure when needed.\nDesign and improve indexing, caching, validation, benchmarking, and repair workflows for large-scale blockchain data systems.\nUse AI-first development practices to accelerate research, specification, implementation, testing, and documentation while maintaining a high verification bar.\nCollaborate with product, infrastructure, support, and customer-facing teams to gather context, make trade-offs, and close the loop after release.\nDefine and analyze technical and product metrics such as latency, throughput, accuracy, freshness, coverage, error rate, reliability, and operational cost.\nCreate internal tools, benchmarks, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks that make system behavior observable and easier to operate.\nReview code, specs, and designs with focus on correctness, simplicity, maintainability, performance, and production ownership.\nConduct technical research and competitor analysis to identify opportunities for improving data products and infrastructure.\nRequirements\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably in backend, data, infrastructure, or distributed systems roles.\nStrong production experience with Go, Rust, or comparable backend or systems languages.\nExperience owning complex engineering work end to end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, release, observability, and iteration.\nStrong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, data modeling, concurrency, queues, storage, caching, failure modes, and reliability trade-offs.\nHands-on experience with databases and SQL, including schema design, query performance, consistency, and data quality.\nExperience with performance-sensitive systems, including benchmarking, profiling, load testing, bottleneck analysis, and capacity planning.\nComfortable working with cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD, containers, observability platforms, and infrastructure-as-code concepts.\nPractical experience using AI coding assistants or agentic development workflows for non-trivial engineering tasks.\nAbility to write high-quality specs, technical proposals, acceptance criteria, runbooks, and concise engineering updates.\nStrong product sense with ability to connect technical work to user impact and measurable outcomes.\nExcellent written and verbal English.\nNice to have\nExperience with blockchain infrastructure, blockchain data, RPC APIs, archive data, indexing, or node operations.\nExperience with high-volume data pipelines, event streaming, workflow orchestration, analytical databases, or object storage.\nExperience with spec-first workflows such as RFCs, ADRs, or similar engineering planning practices.\nExperience building internal tools, diagnostic CLIs, benchmark suites, repair workflows, or operational automation.\nFamiliarity with AI tools for research, documentation, data analysis, code generation, and verification.\nExperience working in infrastructure teams with direct ownership of reliability and performance outcomes.\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive salary in USD- Fair, transparent compensation based on experience and impact.\nStock options- Share in Chainstack's growth and long-term success.\nAI-first environment- Use AI to reduce repetitive work and focus on judgment and shipping.\nCutting-edge tech stack- Work with modern infrastructure and stay close to Web3 innovation.\nFlat structure, no bureaucracy- Take ownership, move fast, and make decisions with real impact.\nFlexible schedule- Work when you are most productive and maintain balance.\nGlobal, fast-growing market- Build in a rapidly evolving industry with real customer demand.\nDiverse, multinational team- Collaborate with people across countries, backgrounds, and functions.\nReady to take your career to the next level?
