Description:
THE ROLE: As a Senior Technical Lead specializing in Web3 and Backend systems, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of enterprise-scale, blockchain-integrated platforms. This position requires a strong blend of backend development expertise in Node.js, extensive Web3/blockchain experience (NFT marketplaces, launchpads, DeFi protocols), modern DevOps practices, and enterprise architecture design.
You will be responsible for overseeing technical lifecycles from prototyping to production while also actively participating in coding, architectural decision-making, and team leadership. The role demands hands-on technical leadership and a proven track record of delivering scalable, secure, and innovative enterprise solutions.
