Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Go, Rust, Java, Python).
Proven experience building distributed systems or backend infrastructure, ideally for blockchain or decentralized applications.
Solid understanding of cryptographic principles, consensus algorithms, or related blockchain components is a strong plus.
Demonstrated ability to lead engineering teams while staying technically hands-on.
Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in Web3, DeFi, or other blockchain-related domains.
Familiarity with containerized microservices (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and CI/CD pipelines.
