• Integrate backend services with Plasma’s blockchain infrastructure using libraries like Web3.js and Ethers.js

• Build services to process blockchain events and maintain application state consistency

• Define and optimize database schemas for transactional throughput and financial data integrity

• Implement caching and indexing strategies for wallet balances and transaction history

• Develop WebSocket services to deliver real-time transaction updates to users and systems

• Create robust error handling and retry logic for blockchain and DeFi protocol interactions

• Set up performance monitoring, tracing, and alerting across backend services

• Collaborate with frontend engineers to define API contracts and support internal tooling development

• Build admin dashboards and internal tools for operations, customer support, and debugging

• Write clear API documentation and maintain backend support for frontend feature development

• Comfortable working across the stack, with experience in React or similar frontend frameworks

• High attention to detail, with strong debugging and problem-solving skills in fast-paced environments

• A bias for action and ownership, capable of driving complex features from design through deployment

• Familiarity with core blockchain concepts including gas optimization, transaction lifecycle, wallet interactions, etc
