Software Engineer, Blockchain

Founded in 2018, Fireblocks is the platform of choice for major financial institutions, banks, and globally recognized companies looking to scale their digital asset operations. We combine MPC-based wallet infrastructure with a best-in-class custody and settlement network, and we're trusted to secure hundreds of billions in assets. With offices in New York, London, Tel Aviv, and Singapore, we're growing our engineering teams to support customers at a global scale.

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Implement modern backend applications and infrastructure in a microservices architecture, using the latest technologies and development practices.
• Deep dive into the latest blockchain technology and become an expert in the fundamentals, protocols, and features of the chains we support.
• Collaborate effectively with developers, engineers, and other roles while demonstrating strong independent problem-solving abilities.
• Contribute to production reliability through on-call participation, incident response, and post-incident follow-ups.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of backend development experience in modern languages (Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript)
• 3+ years of hands-on blockchain development experience
• Experience working on high-scale distributed systems
• Understanding of microservices architecture and API design
• Knowledge of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, and distributed systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Preferred

• Experience building blockchain solutions for enterprise or institutional use cases
• Understanding of security best practices for smart contracts and blockchain systems
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI tools in day-to-day development
• Understanding of MPC, multi-signature wallets, or other advanced cryptographic techniques
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
