[Hiring] Senior Java Engineer @Revive It Recruitment

Role Description

This role is for a senior Java engineer who enjoys solving deep technical problems and building low-level, high-throughput systems. You’ll join a small, elite engineering team working on core protocol and platform components that must be fast, efficient, and mathematically correct. This is a hands-on role where you’ll design and build systems from scratch and influence the architecture of a publicly visible ledger.

• Design and build low-latency, high-throughput Java systems from scratch
• Invent new data structures, algorithms, and protocols for novel technical problems
• Optimise memory usage and performance at a very low level
• Build core infrastructure such as parsers, interpreters, and internal tooling
• Create performance tooling, profilers, and testing harnesses
• Drive architectural decisions that impact correctness and system integrity
• Mentor senior engineers and contribute to technical leadership

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Deep expertise in Java & JVM internals (GC, memory model, threading, profiling)
• Strong computer science fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, concurrency)
• Proven experience building high-performance, correctness-critical systems
• Comfortable building production systems from first principles
• Strong focus on clean, maintainable, long-lived code

Requirements

• Experience with distributed systems, blockchain, or Web3 infrastructure
• Knowledge of cryptography fundamentals
• Exposure to event-driven systems or low-latency trading platforms
• Experience with performance tooling (e.g. profilers, benchmarking frameworks)

Benefits

• Work on deeply technical, long-term infrastructure
• High autonomy in a small, elite engineering team
• Remote working with US-based collaboration (EST hours)
• Opportunity to build systems that underpin real financial value

Hiring Process

• Introductory call
• Hiring manager discussion
• Technical interview
• Final stage interview
