“Permissionless blockchain for permissioned applications”
MANTRA holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange and provide broker-dealer, management, and investment services.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. Here’s the deal: we need hardcore builders, grinders who live for the hustle, ready to put in 60+ hours a week to make MANTRA industry-leading.
We are a winning team, and have high expectations for performance and delivering results. If you’re the type who thrives in driving innovation with relentless focus, this is your shot.
Join us, grind with us, and let’s build the future of crypto.
What You’ll Do
- Architect & Build: Design and lead the development of highly scalable, secure, and resilient systems across our entire stack; from our Rust (Axum) / Nest.js backend services to Next.js webapps and Subgraphs indexer.
- On-Chain Development: Design, write, deploy, and maintain secure, gas-efficient, and upgradeable smart contracts in both Solidity or CosmWasm.
- Infrastructure Ownership: Work closely with our DevOps team in managing and scaling our Kubernetes infrastructure, optimizing our CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring robust monitoring and observability.
- Technical Strategy: Collaborate closely with product and leadership to translate business goals into a concrete technical roadmap, make key architectural decisions, and drive technical innovation within the company.
- Problem Solving: Tackle the most complex, cross-functional technical challenges, from optimizing L1 performance to designing secure cross-chain communication protocols.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: 6+ years of professional software engineering experience in high-performance, high-stakes environments.
- Polyglot Expertise: Deep, hands-on mastery of both Rust, TypeScript/Node.js, and Subgraphs. Experience with Substreams is an advantage.
- Web Framework Mastery: Proven experience building and scaling complex applications using Next.js and Cloudflare Workers.
- Smart Contract Veteran: You have shipped and secured production-grade smart contracts in Solidity (with wagmi and foundry) or CosmWasm (with cosmjs). Experience with both is a massive advantage.
- Infrastructure Expert: Expert-level understanding of Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native architecture. You don't just use k8s; you understand it.
- Degen: Strong blockchain knowledge, including nodes, consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS), web3 wallets and dapp development
- Proven Mentor: A genuine passion for mentorship with a track record of elevating the technical skills of your peers.
Nice-to-Haves
- Direct experience with the Cosmos SDK and/or Ethereum.
- A deep understanding of RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization or the TradFi ecosystem.
- Experience in designing and implementing on-chain governance or complex DeFi protocols.
- Active contributions to open-source Web3 or systems-level projects.
