✨ Silicon Valley-Based Blockchain Payments Startup
💲 $150,000 – 180,000 Base + Equity + Full Benefits
A well-funded blockchain technology startup in Silicon Valley is hiring experienced backend engineers to help build game-changing payment and identity management platforms. They’re working with a global consortium of telecom carriers representing 1.3+ billion mobile users to disrupt the $T mobile payments sector.
They’re specifically looking for engineers who thrive in startup environments – people who can take complete ownership of systems, build scalable distributed architectures, and drive features from concept through production with a strong focus on formal processes and automation.

- Design and build scalable, high-performance backend systems in Java
- Develop and maintain complex distributed services and APIs (REST, gRPC)
- Own CI/CD pipelines and production systems from design through deployment
- Work closely with cross-functional teams and partner ecosystem
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team growth
- Drive architectural decisions around core blockchain platform capabilities
Requirements:
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience (Java expert required)
- Strong proficiency with Spring Boot and microservices architecture
- Deep knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, or GCP preferred) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or related field
- Comfortable being in their Sunnyvale office Monday – Thursday, work from home on Fridays.
