What you'll do:

As a Blockchain Architect based in Taipei City, you will play a pivotal role in designing the backbone of large-scale blockchain platforms. Your daily activities will involve collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to create resilient architectures for trading engines and wallet services that demand both high throughput and uncompromising security. You will be responsible for making critical decisions around technology stacks—ranging from Golang microservices to advanced caching strategies—and ensuring seamless integration between on-chain operations and off-chain data flows. By proactively identifying bottlenecks and proposing effective solutions, you will help drive the evolution of backend systems that underpin millions of transactions per second. Your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly will foster strong connections across teams as you guide projects from conception through deployment. Success in this role means not only delivering robust technical solutions but also contributing positively to a culture of shared learning and continuous improvement.

• Architect and evolve backend infrastructure to ensure high-concurrency and high-availability blockchain services that can scale to millions of users.
• Design and implement core systems including transaction matching engines, custodial and non-custodial wallet services, blockchain integration modules, on-chain/off-chain data synchronisation processes, and smart contract interactions.
• Take ownership of system performance tuning by developing resource orchestration strategies that optimise scalability across all services.
• Investigate complex system issues thoroughly and deliver well-reasoned solutions that are executable within the existing architecture.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, frontend developers, UI/UX designers, and QA engineers throughout the entire development lifecycle to ensure seamless delivery of features.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and make informed architecture decisions with a focus on long-term evolvability, security, maintainability, and performance.
• Drive best practices in API design, service orchestration, data consistency management, and monitoring within high-availability environments.
• Participate actively in code reviews to uphold engineering standards while mentoring junior engineers on architectural principles.
• Contribute to the selection and implementation of tools for monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, containerisation, cloud infrastructure management, and chain indexing.

What you bring:

To excel as a Blockchain Architect in this forward-thinking organisation, you will bring proven experience designing distributed backend infrastructures that prioritise scalability without sacrificing maintainability. Your background should include hands-on involvement with blockchain ecosystems—whether through building secure wallet services or integrating smart contracts into live products—and a track record of optimising system performance at scale. You are adept at leveraging message queues for efficient data flow and implementing caching mechanisms that enhance responsiveness under demanding conditions. Your approach combines deep technical knowledge with strong interpersonal skills; you thrive when collaborating across disciplines to solve intricate challenges together. A commitment to clear communication ensures your architectural insights are accessible to all stakeholders. Above all else, your passion for continuous learning drives you to stay current with evolving technologies while nurturing those around you through mentorship and shared problem-solving.

• Demonstrated experience architecting backend systems with an emphasis on distributed systems that require scalability and maintainability for large user bases.
• Hands-on expertise in blockchain or crypto-related platforms such as wallets, exchanges, or smart contract integrations within production environments.
• Proficiency in designing high-performance systems capable of supporting over 1,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining reliability under heavy load.
• Comprehensive understanding of message queue technologies like Kafka or RabbitMQ alongside advanced caching strategies using Redis or other in-memory solutions.
• Deep familiarity with service orchestration concepts including Kubernetes-based deployments, resource allocation strategies, and robust API design for high-availability applications.
• Ability to independently analyse complex requirements by breaking them down into actionable components while communicating trade-offs effectively to stakeholders.
• Clear communication skills that enable you to articulate architectural decisions logically to both technical peers and non-technical collaborators alike.
• Experience working with modern tech stacks such as Golang (gRPC/RESTful APIs), Ethereum/Solana/EVM-compatible chains for smart contract interaction, PostgreSQL/MongoDB databases, Docker containers, AWS/GCP cloud platforms, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring tools, GitLab CI/CD pipelines, OpenTelemetry tracing frameworks.
