Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer at Asula Labs, you'll join a bitcoin company building the next generation of financial products at the intersection of bitcoin, blockchains, stablecoins and finance. You'll work across the backend stack as a generalist to bring products like Dawn, our mobile interface for saving and growing assets, to life, alongside onchain protocols for bitcoin swaps and credit.

What you'll do

• Design and implement backend systems that power both user-facing applications like Dawn and core protocol components.
• Architect scalable and resilient services including APIs, stateful services, and blockchain data pipelines that can handle real-world demand.
• Drive large-scale architectural improvements to the codebase and develop best practices in a nascent organization.
• Mentor the rest of the team to improve long-term architecture and code quality.

What you bring

• 3+ years of experience as a systems engineer who has designed and operated production services with real traffic, ideally in finance, trading, or blockchain environments.
• A deep understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, and network architecture, thinking in terms of latency, throughput, and fault tolerance.
• Fluency in at least one strongly-typed backend language such as Rust, Go or C++, and comfort working across frameworks, APIs, and infrastructure.
• An interest in bitcoin, blockchains and onchain finance.

Nice to have

• Prior experience using stablecoins and/or bitcoin in your daily life.
• Prior experience building low-latency systems for trading.
