Superform - Software Engineer, Backend

Superform is the user-owned neobank that lets anyone save, earn, swap, and spend capital directly onchain , without custodians, opaque intermediaries, or traditional banks. The platform includes: the Superform Protocol (permissionless smart account layer), the Superform App (desktop, iOS, Android), and SuperVaults (institutional-grade, validator-secured vaults for yield optimization).

Superform has $130M+ in TVL and 160,000+ depositors, with over two years of production uptime and no exploits. Role Overview You’ll be a core backend engineer working across production-grade microservices, APIs, and services that power Superform’s onchain financial products. You will help build scalable backend systems that interact with onchain infrastructure and support strategies and vaults used by real users and institutions.

Responsibilities

Build systems for institutions to create and manage SuperVaults. Design and implement backend APIs, services, and real-time data pipelines connecting apps to onchain systems. Collaborate with researchers to improve strategy performance, automate rebalancing, and implement account abstraction flows (ERC-4337 / ERC-7579).

Maintain high standards for reliability, monitoring, alerting, and incident response. Contribute to code reviews, architecture decisions, and engineering practices.

Who You Are

Live and breathe DeFi. ERC-4626 vaults, ERC-7540, ERC‑4337 bundlers, ERC‑7579 smart accounts, ERC-7683 bridges, these are all things you’ve already had direct experience with. Self-starter. You thrive in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments. Design systems that scale 0→1 and 1→10 and know when to kill a proof of concept.

Treat tests, monitoring, and post-mortems as first-class engineering work. Communicate early, often, and clearly.

Minimum Qualifications

Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics , or equivalent mastery. Production experience with Go . Experience with SQL & scalable data stores like Postgres, ClickHouse, or Dagster. Fluent with blockchain concepts — vault products, subgraphs, JSON-RPC/Web3, and basic Solidity understanding. Availability to overlap 09:00–13:00 ET (13:00–17:00 UTC) for standups and pair sessions.

Ability to meet SLA standards , including 24×7 uptime expectations.

Nice to Have

Asset management or other traditional finance experience. Deep expertise in on-chain data indexing or real-time market data feeds. Prior work with account abstraction (ERC-4337) or smart-contract wallets. Experience scaling high-volume financial exchanges, HFT systems, or DeFi protocols. Belief in aliens
