This endeavor is not just about technological advancement but a step towards a more resilient, free, and prosperous global society. Our current team consists of engineers and researchers from companies like Blockstream Research, Palantir, and Nethermind. We invite passionate individuals to join us in navigating this complex, yet rewarding journey towards redefining financial sovereignty.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Partner Integration Engineer to be the technical connective tissue between our protocol and the ecosystem building around it. You’ll work closely with wallets, exchanges, apps, and infrastructure teams to help them integrate and interact with our stack.

This is a hands-on role that blends full-stack engineering with partner enablement. You’ll build SDKs and tooling, improve developer experience, guide external teams through integrations, and help shape the product from direct partner feedback. Think of it as go-to-market engineering meets developer success.

What You’ll Do

• Lead third-party integrations end-to-end—from dApps and infrastructure teams deploying on our EVM chain to consumer-facing partners integrating the full stack.
• Build SDKs, sample apps, and tooling to make development feel as if it’s one seamless stack across different dApps and infrastructure.
• Collaborate with partners’ engineering teams to guide them through integration from start to finish
• Improve internal and external documentation to support our growing ecosystem
• Participate in technical discussions and support calls with external engineering teams
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, infra, and protocol teams to bridge gaps between ecosystem needs and protocol development
• Identify friction points for developers and help solve them through tools or process improvements

You Might Be a Fit If You

• Have full-stack engineering experience and are comfortable building with Rust, TypeScript, or similar
• Have previous experience working with or building consumer facing apps on-top of EVM-compatible chains
• Have worked on or contributed to SDKs, developer tooling, or documentation
• Understand the importance of great documentation and intuitive developer experience
• Enjoy collaborating with partners and improving technical experiences
• Are excited by the idea of being the connective tissue between engineering and ecosystem

What we offer

What we extend to our new hires is an invitation to actively contribute to the evolution of cutting-edge technologies within the blockchain space.
