Asula is a bitcoin company focused on building the next generation of financial products at the intersection of bitcoin, blockchains, stablecoins and finance.
Currently we’re working on Dawn, our mobile interface that allows users to save and grow their assets through bitcoin and stablecoins. Beyond Dawn, we're working on making bitcoin swaps and credit available to holders of all sizes through onchain protocols.
For this role we're seeking a generalist who can work across the backend stack to bring our products to life. A candidate in this role would be expected to:
Design and implement backend systems that power both user-facing applications (like Dawn) and core protocol components.
Architect scalable and resilient services: APIs, stateful services, and blockchain data pipelines that can handle real-world demand.
Drive large-scale architectural improvements to the codebase and develop best practices in a nascent organization.
Mentor the rest of the team to improve long-term architecture and code quality.
3+ years of experience as a systems engineer who has designed and operated production services with real traffic, ideally in finance, trading, or blockchain environments.
A deep understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, and network architecture — you think in terms of latency, throughput, and fault tolerance.
Fluent in at least one strongly-typed backend language (Rust, Go or C++) and comfortable working across frameworks, APIs, and infrastructure.
An interest in bitcoin, blockchains and onchain finance.
Prior experience using stablecoins and/or bitcoin in your daily life.
Prior experience building low-latency systems for trading.
