Your role

Your main focus will be on designing, building, and scaling our NFT infrastructure backend which handles writing/minting NFTs at scale across different chains. This means designing, developing, and shipping end-to-end new and exciting smart contract features that other developers can use with REST APIs, scaling nonce handling to thousands of transactions per second, ensuring reliability even when a single chain goes down, etc. We are still a relatively small team (but growing fast) meaning there's a wide variety of really hard technical challenges you can solve - from writing smart contracts end to end to scaling our real-time and low-latency NFT infrastructure which will span all the L1 top blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Flow, and layers 2's.
