About Fireblocks
Fireblocks is an enterprise-grade platform that provides a secure infrastructure for moving, storing, and issuing digital assets. It enables financial institutions like exchanges, custodians, banks, trading desks, and hedge funds to securely scale their digital asset operations. The company was founded by Michael Shaulov, Idan Ofrat, and Pavel Berengoltz after they investigated a major cyber breach. Fireblocks utilizes breakthrough Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and patent-pending chip isolation technology to secure private keys and API credentials. The platform supports various use cases including treasury management, wallet as a service, tokenization, payments, and DeFi, and provides a complete development platform with APIs, SDKs, and tutorials for building on the blockchain.
Skills
About the Role
You'll design and build robust, scalable backend services that support high-volume on-chain transaction flows across multiple blockchain networks, both EVM and non-EVM. You'll own end-to-end development of backend components and APIs, from architecture decisions through production deployment. You'll lead integrations with DeFi protocols, on-chain data sources, and blockchain nodes across a wide range of chains and ecosystems. You'll research and evaluate emerging blockchain technologies, protocols, and standards to keep your work at the cutting edge. You'll optimize existing production systems for performance, reliability, and security, reducing latency and increasing throughput. You'll collaborate closely with product, protocol research, and platform engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions on time, and you'll drive features from inception through delivery at scale, taking full ownership of the product lifecycle.
