Senior Software Engineer (Golang)

Are you a backend engineer who enjoys building resilient distributed systems and automating infrastructure at scale? Join Chainstack and help power the next generation of Web3 infrastructure.

About us

Chainstack powers global blockchain applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, analytics, and everything in between. Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with one platform for nodes in the cloud, offered through preferred service providers, or self-hosted. Standardized node management puts reliability on autopilot and keeps performance predictable, giving operators control and transparency while developers get a consistent way to build and scale.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong Go experience to help build and operate the systems that automate and manage blockchain infrastructure at scale. In this role, you will design backend services, improve reliability and deployment workflows, and contribute to the core infrastructure powering Chainstack’s platform.

You will work closely with infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering teams to build highly scalable, event-driven systems that support distributed blockchain workloads globally.

Our stack

• Go 1.24
• Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform/Terragrunt
• Redis, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, NATS, S3-compatible storage
• GitHub and CircleCI
• VictoriaMetrics and Grafana

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services that automate provisioning, orchestration, and lifecycle management of blockchain infrastructure.
• Build resilient distributed systems and event-driven workflows to support scalable platform operations.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, self-healing, and observability mechanisms across backend services and infrastructure.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to support fast, reliable, and repeatable deployments.
• Optimize system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency across Kubernetes-based environments.
• Work with infrastructure automation tooling including Terraform, Helm, and container orchestration platforms.
• Contribute to architecture decisions around asynchronous communication, service coordination, and platform reliability.
• Collaborate with platform, DevOps, and product engineering teams to ship infrastructure improvements with high ownership and execution velocity.
• Proactively identify bottlenecks, operational risks, and scaling challenges, then implement durable solutions.

Requirements

• Strong programming experience in Go.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous communication, and event-driven architecture patterns.
• Hands-on experience with message brokers and streaming systems such as NATS, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.
• Experience designing and operating services in Kubernetes and containerized environments.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and automation tooling such as Terraform, Terragrunt, and Helm.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling such as GitHub Actions or CircleCI.
• Good understanding of observability, monitoring, logging, and production operations.
• Ability to work independently in a remote-first environment with strong ownership and execution skills.
• Strong English communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Experience integrating with blockchain networks through RPC or related APIs.
• Experience operating or maintaining blockchain client nodes.
• Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure and platform engineering practices.
• Experience with databases and distributed storage systems such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or object storage.
• Understanding of Web3 infrastructure, validator operations, indexing, or node orchestration systems.
