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 prototype and broader system, working across architecture, computation, state, APIs, infrastructure, and system-level prototypes under incomplete specifications.
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
- 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.
