Описание

Consensys is looking for a Software / Systems Architect.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build distributed systems
  • Hold a large system in their head and identify inconsistencies, failure modes, coupling, and scaling issues, effectively communicating these to colleagues
  • Write clear design documents and diagrams for both external and internal use, providing clear artifacts for engineers on what to build, why, and what success looks like
  • Stay technical in discussions with institutional architects on resilience, key custody, finality, and privacy
  • Be pragmatic, knowing when to choose a boring architecture
  • Be decisive under ambiguity when Product, client requirements, and protocol constraints disagree

Requirements

  • Recent, hands-on experience designing and building distributed systems in Kotlin, Go, Rust, Solidity, TypeScript, or Zig
  • Strong hands-on background in Software Development/Engineering, 8+ years
  • Ethereum and EVM knowledge, or demonstrated ability to learn quickly from adjacent distributed-systems work
  • Experience architecting for secure mission-critical systems

Nice to have

  • ZK proof systems knowledge (cost, latency, trust assumptions)
  • Privacy technologies: privacy pools, MPC, trusted execution, tokenisation frameworks
  • Regulated financial infrastructure: payments, clearing, settlement, custody
  • Understanding of governance dynamics and key stakeholders within the Ethereum ecosystem
  • Experience of cloud and infrastructure deployments and topologies
  • Experience in Fintech/Banking/Trading or similar domains

We offer

  • This is an individual contributor position with real technical authority
  • This is not a PowerPoint architect role, a pre-sales function, or a people-management role

Hiring process

  • The interview will assess hands-on experience and technical depth
