About The Role
We're looking for a talented, driven Senior Software Engineer to build the critical infrastructure that powers the Aptos blockchain ecosystem.

- Developing scalable APIs, indexing services, and data pipelines to support blockchain data access
- Building and maintaining infrastructure for node operations, monitoring, and observability
- Building and maintaining SDKs, libraries, and developer tools
- Writing clean, performant, well-tested, and production-ready code
- Collaborating closely with protocol engineers, infrastructure teams, and product engineers
What you bring:
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping scalable backend systems
- Strong experience building backend systems in languages such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Python, or similar
- Deep understanding of systems programming concepts
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, databases, and API design
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with blockchain infrastructure, indexing, or node operations (a plus)
- Web3 experience or familiarity (a plus)
- Background in payments, DeFi, or TradFi (a plus)
