  • Support other teams in efficiently using the software you develop.
  • Collaborate with team members and across the organization on technical plans and architectural decisions.
  • Mentor colleagues, sharing your problem-solving approach and expertise.
  • Make complex decisions based on sound judgment.
  • Develop business analysis skills to bridge technical delivery with product needs.
  • Cultivate a customer-focused mindset to anticipate and fulfill internal and external customer demands.
  • Contribute to shaping the technical direction of Corda engineering.

Skills & Qualifications:

  • Proficient in problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making.
  • Experience in software engineering roles, preferably focusing on complex distributed systems, platforms, or Solana-based products.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-disciplinary team environments.
  • Expertise in high-level programming languages (Java/Kotlin/Rust) and hands-on experience in supporting, investigating, diagnosing, and resolving system issues.
  • Proficiency in designing and developing Distributed Systems.
  • Positive and proactive attitude towards solving challenges.

Nice to Haves:

  • Knowledge and experience with Java libraries and ecosystems.
  • Familiarity with the Solana ecosystem and the Rust programming language.

  • Experience with ZK Compression.
  • Proficiency with message brokers and relational databases.
  • In-depth knowledge of JVM (garbage collection, performance tuning, memory profiling).
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts and networking.
  • Experience in Kotlin is a plus but Java engineers without Kotlin experience are welcome.
  • Knowledge of PKI and cryptographic principles.
  • Experience supporting systems in production and troubleshooting issues for internal or external users.
