Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vanamonde Technology is a research-driven infrastructure startup building AI agent-native software abstraction-layer infrastructure at the computational layer. The Founding Engineer will help define and implement the technical foundations of the CSTG system, designing system-level logic, APIs, services, and infrastructure across backend, protocol, infrastructure, and frontend layers.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement system-level logic involving state, computation, data flow, and modular capabilities
- Work directly on the CSTG minimum viable prototype and its underlying computational logic
- Design APIs, services, and supporting infrastructure that interact with blockchain and stateful system components
- Translate architectural concepts into working technical prototypes and production-oriented system components
- Contribute across backend, infrastructure, protocol, and frontend layers when required by the system
- Establish engineering standards for code quality, testing, reliability, and maintainability
- Investigate technical questions where the correct architecture is not yet known
- Work closely with the founding team to refine system definitions and evaluate architectural trade-offs
Skills
- • Strong software engineering fundamentals and solid system design ability
- • Experience building and maintaining non-trivial software systems
- • Ability to reason about system architecture, state, data flow, and component interactions
- • Ability to work independently in environments where requirements and implementation paths are not fully defined
- • Strong ownership and willingness to take responsibility for problems beyond a narrowly defined task
- • Ability to understand unfamiliar technical concepts quickly and turn them into working implementations
- • Backend or infrastructure engineering
- • Distributed systems
- • Protocol or blockchain engineering
- • Stateful or event-driven systems
- • APIs, services, and data-intensive systems
- • Smart contracts, Ethereum, L2s, Cosmos, or related ecosystems
- • AI systems, agent infrastructure, or tool integration
- • Other systems-oriented or research-driven engineering work
- Experience in other technically demanding environments may also be relevant. We care more about engineering depth, systems thinking, and the ability to learn than about matching a specific technology checklist
Benefits
- Upon funding, the intended transition is to a full-time paid engineering role with competitive compensation.
- Eligible founding engineers may also enter formal equity discussions and agreements after financing, subject to company approval and applicable legal terms.
- Remote work, PTO, and holidays will apply under the formal employment arrangement established after funding.
