Job description

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Senior Core Systems Engineer - Crypto - this is a fully remote role for candidates based in US / EU.

Join a stellar team of leaders and experts in blockchain technology, cryptography, infrastructure, and security to build the backbone of blockchain wallet infrastructure for the next financial era. We're hiring a Core Systems Engineer to design, build and scale the systems at the heart of our platform : MPC, HSMs, TEEs, and the middleware that ties them together. You'll work deep in the stack, building reliable distributed services and integrating them with cloud, hardware, and blockchain environments. This is a low-level, high-impact role where performance, security, and correctness are non-negotiable. You'll design protocols, optimize databases, and harden workflows that power financial applications at scale. You'll collaborate across product, research, and security to turn advanced cryptography into Rust-based, production-ready infrastructure that is fast, resilient, and trusted.

Preferred experience

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and operate MPC signers, HSMs, and TEEs (e.g. AWS Nitro).
  • Build low-level services and middleware in Rust and other systems languages.
  • Architect distributed databases and stateful services for performance and reliability.
  • Develop secure APIs and networking between core systems and high-level services.
  • Optimize resource usage, latency, and throughput across critical workflows.
  • Collaborate with cryptography, infra, and product to bring new protocols into production.
  • Document core systems, share knowledge, and support client and partner discussions.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of systems engineering experience with focus on security, infra, or backend.
  • Deep expertise in Rust, with strong low-level systems programming skills.
  • Proven experience building distributed systems, consensus mechanisms, or networks.
  • Hands-on experience with HSMs, MPC, TEEs, and cryptographic key management.
  • Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases in high-availability environments.
  • Familiarity with secure networking, applied cryptography, and defense-in-depth models.
  • Skilled in observability, debugging, and optimizing performance at scale.
  • Clear communicator, able to translate complex systems into practical solutions.
  • Compensation & Package

  • Title : Senior Core Systems Engineer.
  • Salary : $180,000-260,000 per year (full-time).
  • Equity : 100-200 stock options vested over 4 years.
  • Benefits : Healthcare, 401K, and travel expenses.
  • Location : US or EU (remote-first, office optional).
  • Equipment : MacBook Pro + essentials.
