About us
Company context from the listing:
Chainstack powers global blockchain applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, analytics, and everything in between. Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with one platform for nodes in the cloud, offered through preferred service providers, or self-hosted.
About the role
The listing frames the Product Engineer (Platform) at Chainstack as a hands-on product role. You'll work across backend services, infrastructure workflows, developer experience, and customer-facing product, partnering with product, platform, DevOps, support, and sales to turn real customer and operational needs into simple, scalable products.
This is a product-first role. Strong product judgment and end-to-end backend ownership are the core.
Responsibilities
Day-to-day scope for the Product Engineer (Platform) as described in the posting:
- Own product initiatives end to end: from problem definition through spec, build, rollout, measurement, and iteration.
- Turn ambiguous customer and operational problems (provisioning, reliability, scalability, observability, deployment, pricing, usage) into clear plans and measurable outcomes.
- Build backend services, APIs, internal tools, and customer-facing capabilities that make blockchain infrastructure easier to provision, operate, and scale.
- Spot friction, reliability risks, scaling limits, and missed opportunities, then drive practical fixes from concept to production.
- Define and improve the metrics that matter: activation, adoption, provisioning time, deployment success rate, operational cost, incident frequency, support volume, retention.
- Use AI across the workflow (research, specs, implementation, testing, analysis) to move faster, with a high bar for verifying what it produces.
- Work across product, engineering, DevOps, support, and sales, and communicate decisions, trade-offs, and risks clearly in writing.
Requirements
Experience and skills the team lists as required:
- 5+ years of software engineering, ideally in backend, product, platform, or distributed systems roles.
- A track record of owning projects end to end: discovery, design, build, test, deploy, measure, iterate.
- Strong product sense. You connect technical work to customer value, commercial impact, and measurable outcomes.
- Solid backend experience building production services, APIs, and integrations in a modern language.
- Real understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous and event-driven architecture, and the reliability trade-offs.
- Hands-on with at least one message broker or event-streaming tool (NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
- Experience designing, deploying, and operating services in Kubernetes and containerized environments.
- Comfortable operating what you ship: CI/CD, observability, and basic production ownership.
- A practical AI-native workflow. You use coding and research agents and debugging assistants to speed up design, implementation, testing, and analysis, without dropping your bar for correctness.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
Nice to have
- Go in production.
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Terragrunt, Helm, or similar).
- Blockchain integration via RPC APIs, or operating blockchain client nodes.
- Web3 infrastructure: validators, indexing, node orchestration.
- Building self-service products, internal tooling, or deployment and automation systems.
- Planning practices (RFCs, ADRs, PRDs, spec-driven development) and the writing to back them: proposals, runbooks, briefs.
- Working directly with customers, support, or sales to turn friction into product improvements.
- Usage-based products, infrastructure pricing, or B2B SaaS metrics.
