Overview

We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Software Engineer (Web3) with a strong background in building modern web applications and scalable backend systems. As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and maintaining our Web3 payment infrastructure, including integrating Web3 functionality such as wallet connections, signing flows, and on-chain/off-chain interactions. Mesh is a global company with headquarters in San Francisco, California.

This candidate will work closely with the Engineering and Product teams spread across North America, Europe, and India.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and operate production-grade Web3 systems used by real customers and assets at scale.
• Own features end-to-end across frontend, backend, and on-chain components (with depth aligned to your strengths).
• Lead the design and implementation of complex workflows involving wallets, transactions, settlements, and orchestration.
• Partner closely with product, design, and external teams to turn ambiguous requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Improve system reliability, security, and performance across distributed and on-chain components.
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to engineering best practices, architecture reviews, and technical direction.
• Influence the roadmap, lead large-scale technical initiatives, and amplify impact across teams.

Who You Are

• 3-6 years of professional experience as a Full-stack Web3 Engineer with production experience across frontend, backend, and on-chain components, comfortable owning systems end-to-end.
• Hands-on experience with Web3 building blocks, such as wallet connectivity/integrations, dApp development, blockchain RPCs and indexing, and/or on-chain/off-chain payment & settlement flows.
• Familiar with DeFi primitives (e.g., DEXs, swaps, lending, trading platforms) and how they work in real systems.
• Experience with some combination of:
• Modern frontend frameworks (e.g., Type Script, React, Redux)
• Backend services and APIs (e.g., C#, Node.js, Go, Java, or similar)
• Smart contracts and on-chain interactions (e.g., Solidity)
• Bonus: hands-on experience with Solana Anchor programs, SVM smart contracts, or Solana Web
  3.js.
• Strong understanding of the transaction lifecycle (signing, submission, execution) and a security-first mindset when designing Web3 systems.
• Solid fundamentals in building scalable, reliable, observable distributed systems (monitoring, logging, tracing, performance).
• Frontend-leaning or backend-leaning profiles are welcome, as long as you have shipped Web3-enabled systems in production and want to expand your scope over time.
