Role overview

We're looking for an incredible senior engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability. This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who is already passionate about tackling problems in blockchain scalability, or looking to break into the blockchain engineering space. If you're looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you. We're backed by some of the best investors across Silicon Valley and the global blockchain ecosystem and offer competitive pay, an equity + token grant in the company, and full benefits. Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dApps deployed to general-purpose blockchains compete with thousands of other applications for network space, leading to congestion, high fees, or outages. We're building software that makes it easy for innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience.
