Blockchain Engineer (Rust / CKB / Bitcoin / UTXO)

Full time
Remote
About the Role
We’re looking for a Blockchain Engineer to explore and build new possibilities around RGB++, CKB, and Bitcoin.
RGB++ is built around the UTXO model, so this role is particularly suited to engineers who understand Bitcoin, UTXO-based systems, or similar protocol-level architectures and are interested in exploring what new ideas can be built from that foundation.
You’ll start with RGB++ — understanding what exists today, exploring what could come next, and turning promising ideas into tools, prototypes, or infrastructure that other developers can build on.
RGB++ Protocol : https://rgbpp.com/
RGB++ GitHubRGB++ on GitHub : https://github.com/RGBPlusPlus
What You'll Do
Explore new technical and product possibilities around RGB++, CKB and Bitcoin.
Build prototypes, tools, SDKs, integrations or infrastructure to test promising ideas.
Improve the developer experience around RGB++ and related technologies.
Work with external developers, helping them understand and build on what we create.
Contribute to and collaborate with the open-source ecosystem.
Work with existing RGB++ infrastructure and contribute to its ongoing development where needed.
Share your experiments, learnings and technical thinking with the team and developer community.
What We're Looking For
Solid blockchain fundamentals and experience working beyond application-level development.
Strong hands-on engineering ability with Rust and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
Ability to take an idea from exploration to something tangible without needing a detailed specification.
Enjoy figuring out what should be built, not only how to build it.
Strong interest in Bitcoin, blockchain infrastructure, and protocol-level innovation.
An open-source mindset and comfort building things that other developers can use and extend.
Self-driven and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
Comfortable communicating in Chinese, with sufficient written English to read technical documentation and communicate asynchronously
Nice to Have
Hands-on experience with Bitcoin, UTXO-based systems, or other UTXO-based protocols
CKB / RGB++ experience
L1/L2 or blockchain infrastructure development experience
Systems or embedded engineering background
Meaningful open-source contributions or strong public technical projects
Why This Role
This isn't a role where you'll spend your time working through a predefined backlog. You'll start with RGB++, but you'll have room to explore broader possibilities around CKB and Bitcoin, develop your own ideas, and turn the most interesting ones into something real.
You'll be building in the open, with the opportunity to create tools and infrastructure that other developers can use and extend. We care less about titles or years of experience than whether you're curious, self-driven, technically capable, and excited to figure out what should be built next.
How to Apply
Interested? Send your application to join@ckba.build with:
A brief introduction about yourself and why this role interests you
Your resume or LinkedIn profile
Links to your GitHub, open-source contributions, or projects you’ve built
Perks & Work Environment
Remote & Flexible — Work from anywhere with a globally distributed team.
Flexible Time Off — 15 days of time off + public holidays based on your location.
AI & Tooling Support — Budget for AI and productivity tools that help you work better.
In-person Gatherings — Opportunities to meet and build together through team gatherings and ecosystem events.

Operations Assistant

Full time
Remote
About the Role
We're looking for an Operations Assistant to work closely with our VP of Operations and help keep the company organized and running smoothly.
A big part of this role is taking things off the team's plate. You'll be working on documents, organizing files, keeping information up to date, writing and maintaining internal documentation, doing research, following up on tasks, and helping with whatever operational work needs to get done.
We're a lean team, so this is not a role where you'll be given one task and wait for the next one. There will be a lot of different things coming your way. Some will be routine, some will be completely new. We need someone who can figure things out, stay organized, and follow through without needing to be managed every step of the way.
We're also still in the process of bringing in investors, so we're keeping the team lean and being thoughtful about hiring. We're looking for someone who can be genuinely useful across different areas of the business and grow with the company.
Responsibilities
Work directly with the VP of Operations on day-to-day operational tasks
Create, organize, update, and maintain company documents and files
Keep Google Drive and other company folders clean, organized, and easy to navigate
Write and maintain SOPs, process documents, internal guides, and other documentation
Take information from meetings, chats, notes, and conversations and turn it into clear documentation
Maintain spreadsheets, trackers, reports, and other internal records
Help keep tasks, deadlines, and follow-ups organized
Research different topics and put together useful summaries and information
Help coordinate with team members and follow up on things that need to get done
Help improve the way we organize information and run internal processes
Assist with onboarding materials and other internal resources
Take on one-off projects and administrative tasks as needed
Handle confidential company information responsibly
Requirements
1+ years of experience in operations, administration, executive assistance, project coordination, or a similar role
Very organized and detail-oriented
Strong written English and comfortable writing clear documentation
Comfortable working with Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and similar tools
Good at organizing large amounts of information and files
Able to manage multiple tasks without losing track of details
Comfortable working independently and figuring things out
Reliable and good at following through
Comfortable in a remote and fast-moving environment
Willing to do whatever needs to be done to keep things moving
Nice to Have
Experience working directly with a founder, executive, or operations team
Experience writing SOPs or internal documentation
Familiarity with Notion, Slack, ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, or similar tools
Good spreadsheet skills
Experience at a startup or small company
Comfortable using AI tools to help with research, writing, organization, and repetitive work
Experience in crypto, Web3, fintech, trading, or financial services
Who This Is For
This role is a good fit if you're naturally organized and like getting things done.
If someone sends you 20 files and says "please organize these," you should be able to figure out a sensible system and get it done.
If a process keeps coming up but nobody has documented it, you should be comfortable writing it down.
If you notice something is missing or could be done better, we want you to speak up and fix it.
We're looking for someone dependable, practical, and easy to work with. You don't need to know everything coming in. You just need to be willing to learn, take ownership, and get the work done.
