Brasil Nexus Tempo inteiro US$60.000 - US$120.000 por ano

About Nexus

Nexus is building the foundation for verifiable finance, an economic system where every transaction, order, and settlement can be proven on-chain with cryptographic assurance. To do this we're developing a DEX Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the AI economy, powered by idle compute from millions of people around the world, and verified with zero-knowledge proofs. This is finance rebuilt for the future: verifiable, scalable, and open to all.

Nexus has raised $25M in Series A funding from Lightspeed, Pantera, Dragonfly, SV Angel, and more.

Location: Remote (Brazil)
Type: Contract

Duration: 12 months with potential for extension

  • Build and maintain blockchain infrastructure components (RPC endpoints, explorers, dev tools).

  • Optimize performance and scalability across distributed systems.

  • Collaborate with frontend engineers to define data contracts and API interfaces.

  • Write clean, well-tested code that supports verifiable financial applications.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience developing backend systems in , Rust, or similar languages.

  • Proficiency with PostgreSQL, Prisma, or equivalent data stores.

  • Understanding of API design, authentication flows, and performance optimization.

  • Experience with distributed systems, financial infrastructure, or blockchain.

  • Excellent communication skills in Business English (spoken & written).

Bonus Points For

  • Experience building or scaling financial systems (exchanges, payments, clearing).

  • Familiarity with blockchain architectures, smart contracts, or consensus protocols.

  • Exposure to DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS).

  • Experience in high-performance or low-latency system design.

Why Join Us

  • Build the backend systems powering the Layer 1 for Verifiable Finance.

  • Collaborate with experts across blockchain, AI, and financial infrastructure.
