Full-Stack Blockchain Engineer

We're building a Web3 platform with a clear mission: making digital ownership mean something tangible in the real world. We're at the MVP stage, and we need a full-stack blockchain developer who's equally comfortable in solidity to come aboard and take the lead. You'll own the blockchain integration, architect the smart contracts, and shape the Web3 experience. Your Mission - Ship secure, gas-efficient smart contracts for minting and payments, and own the testing process. - Breathe life into our Next.js frontend by integrating wallet connections, minting flows, and payment rails that feel buttery smooth. - Build the backend muscle (Node/Express) to handle metadata, file uploads, and keep our off-chain data perfectly in sync with the chain. - Orchestrate the whole stack to ensure seamless communication between our Express server, IPFS, and the blockchain. - Keep gas fees lean and the UX friendly. What you bring to the table - 5+ years of full-stack experience, with a knack for shipping clean, maintainable code. - Deployed production-grade smart contracts on an EVM-compatible chain. - Deep comfort with the modern Web3 toolkit: wagmi, viem, ethers.js, and IPFS are your bread and butter. - Solid footing on both sides of the stack; you're just as sharp with React/Next on the frontend as you are with Node/Express on the backend. - A strong grasp of NFT standards, minting flows, and token transfers; you know the nuances and the pitfalls. - Experience with MongoDB or similar NoSQL databases to keep our data layer flexible. Bonus points if you have - A background in education tech or marketplace platforms (we love domain-specific insights). - Solid experience with CI/CD and deployment pipelines; automation is always a win.
