About the Client

Our client is pioneering the transformation of property ownership through decentralized technologies. Their platform enables tokenization, investment, and seamless blockchain-based transactions in the real estate sector. Backed by industry-leading experts, the organization is reconstructing the ownership infrastructure using next-generation decentralized tools and is committed to global adoption, low-cost, high-speed transactions, and regulatory compliance.

The goal is to help individuals gain more access to home ownership by helping them get access to international investments.

Role Summary

As a Senior Blockchain Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and maintaining the core blockchain components of a real estate tokenization platform. You will collaborate closely with infrastructure, product, and compliance teams to deliver secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions that support global, retail-focused adoption. Your expertise will directly influence the platforms technical direction, security posture, and cross-chain capabilities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design and develop full-stack solutions with a focus on smart contracts for real estate tokenization, ownership transfers, compliance automation, and income distribution, primarily using Solidity and EVM-compatible standards.
• Bring physical assets on-chain by leveraging experience from successful blockchain product launches involving real-world asset tokenization.
• Architect and implement cross-chain interoperability solutions, including bridges and Layer 2 integrations (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism), to ensure low-cost, high-speed global transactions.
• Develop and maintain backend systems for blockchain data processing, asset management, and integration with oracles and off-chain services.
• Develop a robust infrastructure to ensure robust deployment, high-availability (HA) node management (Ethereum, Infura, Algorand), continuous integration, and secure operation of blockchain nodes and validators.
• Integrate oracles for real-time, secure off-chain data feeds.
• Contribute to technical documentation, including API references, protocol specifications, and developer onboarding guides.
• Participate in code reviews, security audits, and troubleshooting to ensure code quality, reliability, and adherence to best practices.
• Implement advanced security practices, including zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), to ensure privacy and compliance.
• Stay current with emerging trends, technologies, and regulatory requirements in blockchain, DeFi, and real estate tokenization.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of relevant experience as a full-stack developer with hands-on blockchain engineering, including smart contract and protocol development.
• Proven experience bringing physical assets on-chain through successful blockchain product launches.
• Expertise in Solidity and EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.).
• Experience with multi-chain or cross-chain protocol design, including integrating oracles.
• Strong programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, or Python for backend and integration logic.
• Deep understanding of cryptographic principles, decentralized security best practices, and privacy techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs.
• Experience designing and deploying scalable, production-grade blockchain infrastructure with high-availability node management (Ethereum, Infura, Algorand, etc.).
• **Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative, and globally distributed team environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document and explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• Business knowledge of AML/KYC regulations is not required but highly sought after.

Preferred Experience

• Prior work with real-world asset tokenization, especially in property or financial markets.
• Experience with cross-chain bridges, oracles (e.g., Chainlink), and multi-chain asset management.
• Familiarity with privacy-preserving cryptography (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs), account abstraction, and advanced wallet integrations.
• Open-source contributions or technical advocacy in the Web3 ecosystem.
• Knowledge of regulatory and compliance frameworks relevant to global tokenized assets.

Cultural Fit

• Comfortable working remotely and based in the United States.
• Able to collaborate effectively across Pacific and Central time zones.
• Adaptable, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced, innovative, and mission-driven environment.

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive salary plus up to 20% performance-based bonus.
• Executive-level token/equity participation.
• Remote-first culture with flexible scheduling.
• Opportunity to shape a decentralized platform disrupting a legacy industry.
• Access to a global network of blockchain pioneers, investors, and technologists.
