Blockchain Engineer

We're looking for a Blockchain Engineer to join our team and help build the next generation of Ctrl Alt's tokenization and governance infrastructure. You'll work at the intersection of finance and distributed ledger technology, designing secure and reliable on-chain components that power a platform trusted by asset managers, fund administrators, and institutional investors.

You'll collaborate closely with our product team and other engineers to integrate blockchain networks into our systems, develop and test on-chain logic for tokenized assets, and build tools that make interacting with those networks seamless. Bringing both initiative and deep technical expertise, you'll play a key role in ensuring our blockchain integrations are robust, auditable, and ready to scale as adoption grows. You'll be the key player in Ctrl Alt's multi-chain architecture and help us to take our blockchain technology to the next level.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement secure, auditable smart contract logic for tokenization, asset management, and governance
• Work with a queue-based architecture to create transactions, send them to the blockchain node, and manage the responses to keep track of the ledger
• Integrate blockchain and distributed ledger technologies into our backend systems
• Evaluate, test, and deploy blockchain logic on networks such as Cosmos, Liquid, and other Layer 1s
• Build tools for interacting with on-chain infrastructure (transaction monitoring, wallet integrations, etc.)
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver robust blockchain-based solutions for financial institutions
• Stay up to date on developments in blockchain infrastructure, standards, and regulatory frameworks
• Promote best practices in blockchain security and operational resilience

Requirements

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 1+ years working with blockchain or distributed ledger technologies
• Experience using TypeScript/JavaScript to build integrations with blockchains
• Familiarising with a queue-based architecture
• Experience developing and deploying smart contract logic or similar on Layer 1 networks
• Familiarity with token standards and asset representation on-chain
• Understanding of cryptographic primitives (e.g. signatures, hashes, multisig) and transaction flows
• Experience integrating blockchain infrastructure into backend applications, ideally in a TypeScript/JavaScript based environment
• Knowledge of blockchain tools, APIs, and development environments (e.g. Cosmos SDK, Elements for Liquid, etc.)

Nice to Have

• Exposure to finance or fintech environments, particularly involving digital assets or tokenization
• Hands-on experience with Cosmos SDK, Liquid Network, or other modular blockchain frameworks
• Understanding of consensus mechanisms and interoperability protocols
• Familiarity with regulated tokenization platforms or compliance-first blockchain use cases
• Experience working with custodial and non-custodial wallet systems
• Strong communication skills for writing documentation and technical specs
