Location: Remote
Work Modality: 100% Remote (Europe & Latin America)
About the Opportunity At 5411 Hub, a headhunting firm specialized in senior and expert-level technology roles across LATAM, the U.S., and Europe, we are partnering with a leading global company in blockchain infrastructure and decentralized technologies to recruit a Software Engineer Expert.
This is a core engineering role, focused on the evolution of a blockchain client (node/client software) that supports EVM compatibility, consensus improvements, and secure, high-performance protocol features.
The Role This is not a typical Web3 application or dApp development role. It is a deep engineering position, centered on:
- Core blockchain client development
- EVM compatibility at the protocol level
- Consensus, execution, and performance improvements
- Backend, low-level engineering in Java
You will work alongside highly experienced blockchain engineers in a fast-paced, research-driven environment, building Web3 infrastructure at the foundation level, where architectural and implementation decisions directly impact network security, stability, and scalability.
Key Responsibilities - Develop new features for the blockchain client using Java as the primary language.
- Analyze complex technical requirements, which may include: Ethereum consensus changes, Bitcoin scripts, internal research papers, and protocol proposals.
- Design and implement features following best practices for security, scalability, and performance.
- Write clean, modular, well-tested code using solid object-oriented design principles.
- Actively participate in peer reviews and technical discussions to continuously improve code quality and development processes.
- Write simple Solidity smart contracts to validate and test client features at the EVM level (testing purposes only, not production dApp development).
- Share research outcomes and technical insights with distributed, global teams.
- Maintain and expand CI/CD automation, including GitHub Actions pipelines.
What You Bring Strong Technical Background
- 5+ years of professional experience in Java, or equivalent experience with JVM-based languages (Kotlin, Scala, Gradle) or C++.
- 3+ years of experience working on core blockchain components, such as: Node or client development; Consensus or execution layers; Protocol-level infrastructure.
- Solid understanding of Ethereum or Bitcoin architecture, including: Smart contract execution models; Consensus mechanisms; Core protocol design.
- Ability to reason deeply about security, performance, and edge cases in complex distributed systems.
- Strong command of data structures (trees, graphs, etc.) and their practical application in system design.
- Basic experience with Solidity, with a clear understanding of how to interact with smart contracts (primarily for testing and validation).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as GitHub Actions.
- When the role refers to “core blockchain components”, it means critical infrastructure, not surface-level application development.
Professional Profile & Collaboration - Hands‑on engineer with strong ownership and accountability.
- Clear technical communicator and collaborative team player.
- High standards for code quality, security, and documentation.
- Comfortable working in a fully remote, global, and diverse environment.
- Fluent English (spoken and written) is required.
What’s Offered - Competitive compensation aligned with expert-level seniority.
- 100% remote work from Europe or Latin America.
- Access to general coworking spaces.
- Strong work‑life balance, including generous vacation, sick leave, and parental leave policies.
- Annual learning budget for training, certifications, and language courses.
- Opportunity to work on mission‑critical blockchain infrastructure with global impact.
- Monthly allowance for contractors to support connectivity and well‑being.
