We’re looking for a Backend Tech Lead to lead one of our core engineering teams working on critical crypto operations. This role combines technical leadership, delivery ownership, and hands-on backend engineering in a correctness-critical environment.
You’ll work close to the product and infrastructure backbone of the exchange, where reliability, predictability, and engineering judgment matter more than buzzwords.
What you’ll do * Lead a backend team: set clear goals, run regular 1:1s, give feedback, and support hiring and team growth * Own delivery end-to-end: planning, prioritization, execution, and delivery transparency * Take responsibility for backend architecture of core operational flows and integrations * Drive evolution of existing systems toward a more scalable and maintainable architecture * Ensure correctness and reliability of critical backend processes * Stay hands-on where it matters: design APIs, review code, and contribute to core backend logic (Go) * Support and gradually improve legacy components where required
Requirements * 3+ years in a Tech Lead / Team Lead / Engineering Lead role with real ownership of delivery * Strong backend engineering experience with Go in production environments * Experience working with high-load or correctness-critical systems * Solid understanding of distributed systems and failure scenarios * Practical experience working with monoliths and evolving them over time * Strong delivery mindset: prioritization, clear communication, ownership of outcomes * Engineering best practices: clean APIs, testing, CI/CD, observability * Ability to work pragmatically with legacy codebases (including PHP when needed) * Reliability and security-first mindset
Nice to have * Experience in crypto, fintech, or financial infrastructure * Familiarity with wallets, transactions, or ledger-like systems * Experience with incident response or on-call rotations * Exposure to risk controls, monitoring, or antifraud systems
