[Hiring] Senior Backend Engineer @Veda Tech Labs Inc

Role Description

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to be a key design partner in our next-generation platform infrastructure. You’ll own the systems architecture that sits behind billions in assets, event indexing, data pipelines, risk engines, multi-chain orchestration, the infrastructure that has to be right because real money depends on it.

You won’t be handed a spec. You’ll look at what we have, understand where we’re going, and figure out what needs to be built, rebuilt, or thrown away. Then you’ll build it.

THE ROLE:

• Designing and building the services that power our vault infrastructure, event indexing across 15+ chains, data platforms for risk calculation engines, real-time position tracking, and the orchestration layer that ties it all together.
• Owning the cloud architecture end to end. We run on AWS. You’ll make decisions about how our services are deployed, how they scale, how they fail gracefully, and how we maintain them without hero culture.
• Building data pipelines that are fast, correct, and auditable. Our vaults execute complex DeFi strategies across multiple protocols, Aave, Morpho, Uniswap, and more. The data infrastructure needs to keep pace with on-chain state across every network we operate on.
• Making our systems observable and operable. Monitoring, alerting, runbooks, oncall-friendly architecture. You’ll help us move from “one person knows how this works” to “anyone on the team can diagnose this at 3am.”
• Working across the boundary between on-chain and off-chain. Vault state lives on-chain. Risk calculations, indexing, caching, and API serving happen off-chain. You’ll design where that boundary sits and how data flows across it.
• Communicating clearly about technical decisions. Writing design docs that the team can actually follow. Explaining tradeoffs to non-engineers. Turning ambiguity into shared understanding. This matters as much as the code.

Qualifications

• Deep cloud architecture chops.
• Significant experience with AWS in production at scale.
• Strong systems engineering fundamentals.
• IaC fluency.
• Excellent communication skills.
• You’ve seen production at scale.
• Strong opinions, loosely held.

Requirements

• You’ve designed and operated systems where uptime matters, not “we should have five nines” slide decks, but actual production systems handling real load with real consequences when they break.
• You’ve built event-driven architectures, data pipelines, caching layers, and API services that handle high throughput. You know the difference between a system that works in a demo and one that works during a bull market.
• Terraform, CI/CD, containerization, Infrastructure as Code. You believe infrastructure should be reproducible, version-controlled, and reviewable.
• You can write clear design documents, explain architectural decisions to teammates with different backgrounds, and have productive disagreements about technical direction. You make the people around you better by making complex things understandable.
• You’ve lived through systems that scaled past their original design. You know what breaks first, what compromises are temporary, and what shortcuts become permanent regret.
• You’ve formed strong views through experience and you’re willing to defend them, but you change your mind when presented with better information. You care about getting it right, not about being right.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary plus equity.
• We’re a Series A company heading toward Series B — early enough that your equity is meaningful, late enough that the business is real.
• We’re not building a prototype. We’re running production infrastructure that manages billions of dollars across dozens of blockchain networks for some of the biggest names in crypto.

Company Description

We’re a 35-person team that’s raised $18M at Series A. The infrastructure works, it’s running in production handling billions in TVL, but it was built for the company we were, not the company we’re becoming. We’re transitioning from founder-dependent operations to scalable engineering practices. You’ll be a key part of making that real.

Current stack includes AWS, Python, Rust, microservices architecture, and smart contracts across 15+ EVM and non-EVM chains. We’re actively investing in Infrastructure as Code, containerization, CI/CD, and proper oncall rotations.
