Backend Software Engineer

As an engineer focused on backend systems at Alchemy, you'll be working with one of the most sophisticated and high-throughput distributed systems in the blockchain world. You'll focus on architecting and building new systems as well as improving existing ones for a platform that supports millions of users globally. You'll have the autonomy to shape technical solutions, influence architectural decisions, and own services throughout their lifecycle.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain backend infrastructure, APIs, and services at scale.

• Own the architecture and implementation of distributed systems behind high-volume, low-latency APIs.

• Solve hard scalability, latency, and performance problems in live production systems.

• Lead system design discussions and shape the direction of our backend architecture.

• Set the best practices for backend development—throughput, reliability, and latency.
