Job description
About the Role
Professionals are sought to design systems that keep global money running on Bitcoin principles. The role involves owning complex workflows from first contact to final delivery. You will help create tools that businesses use to handle value securely and ensure continuity in a decentralized environment. This position requires a deep commitment to protocol integrity and the long term health of the Bitcoin network above all else. You will translate ambiguous requirements into concrete technical designs while maintaining strict operational discipline. The hire will act as a primary owner for critical features that touch sensitive financial logic and user facing interfaces. Success in this role is measured by the reliability and correctness of the systems you ship over time.
Key Facts
-
Location: Remote (GH)
-
Engagement: Full-time
-
Compensation: 140000-160000 USD
What you'll do
- Design intake steps that organize messy financial information into clear, executable paths for automated processing.
- Build core components using specific products such as Liquid, Core Lightning, Green interface, and Jade systems to ensure compatibility.
- Review transaction logic to enforce strict adherence to financial rules and prevent edge case failures in production.
- Ship features that enable secure transfers, leveraging the robustness of Blockstream products like Jade for signing and broadcasting.
- Partner with cryptography experts to align implementation details with protocol standards and avoid consensus level defects.
- Coordinate testing routines that validate performance across multiple environments, operating systems, and network conditions.
- Document configurations and procedures so operations teams can manage deployments independently without constant oversight.
- Improve pipelines by observing real world usage metrics and adapting interface behaviors to reduce friction for end users.
- Collaborate with product teams to refine user stories and ensure that the technical solutions match business objectives.
- Implement monitoring and alerting strategies to detect anomalies in transaction flows or system health as early as possible.
- Maintain high standards for code quality through rigorous review processes that catch subtle bugs before they reach mainnet.
- Support the maintenance of existing integrations while new capabilities are developed, ensuring continuity for all customers.
- Engage with community feedback to identify pain points and drive improvements in the overall user experience.
- Act as a technical liaison between engineering, security, and operations to keep all stakeholders aligned on priorities.
Requirements
- Three years of professional experience with financial systems is mandatory to understand the complexity of the domain.
- Hands on familiarity with Bitcoin protocols and related software is required for effective contribution to the codebase.
- Understanding of how to work with security sensitive codebases is essential to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain trust.
- Strict respect for legal boundaries and avoidance of shipping restricted features is required in every jurisdiction.
- Proven ability to read and interpret technical specifications without ambiguity is necessary for precise execution.
- Strong attention to detail is required when dealing with cryptographic keys, transaction IDs, and monetary values.
- Experience working in a remote setting with asynchronous communication is expected for smooth collaboration.
- Commitment to following established processes and procedures without cutting corners on quality or compliance.
Nice to have
- Experience contributing to open source projects in a collaborative setting is valued for community alignment.
Skills & Tools
- Software names include Liquid, Core Lightning, Green, and Jade, which are central to the stack.
- Familiarity with version control workflows, issue trackers, and continuous integration systems is expected.
- Knowledge of networking protocols and peer to peer communication patterns is beneficial for deeper work.
- Experience with scripting and automation reduces manual effort and increases reliability of repetitive tasks.
- Understanding of security best practices such as key management and secure coding standards is strongly encouraged.
