Architect, build and maintain a sustainable backend server infrastructure. Taking responsibility for improving and maintaining existing projects. Interfacing with and supporting our front-ends decentralized applications. A previous blockchain experience is not necessarily required but candidates should be able to demonstrate a blockchain interest (read blog posts / scientific articles, tried dapps on mainnets or testnets).
