GPT is a dynamic blockchain and AI company that prioritizes innovation, transparency, and meaningful impact. Our culture empowers exceptional, self-driven individuals to act decisively, leverage advanced AI tools, and consistently deliver value-driven outcomes. We foster an open, collaborative environment where creative thinking thrives, enabling every team member to take ownership and contribute meaningfully to our ambitious future.

We are looking for a seasoned Blockchain Architect to join our technology leadership team. This role goes beyond engineering and requires visionary architecture design, deep expertise in blockchain Layer 1 & 2 protocols, AI/ML methods, and extensive software development experience. The Blockchain Architect will lead the end-to-end architecture of our blockchain platform and guide its interaction with advanced AI models & workloads, ensuring scalability, performance, and security at every level.

• Architect, design, and guide the implementation of Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain protocols tailored for AI-driven workloads.
• Define the technical roadmap and ensure architectural alignment with business objectives.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, design specifications, and architectural blueprints.
• Mentor and support engineering teams in building EVM-compatible and non-EVM blockchain platforms.
• Ensure enterprise-grade security, scalability, and fault tolerance across blockchain and AI pipelines.
• Mentor and guide development teams on blockchain best practices, patterns, and standards.
• Conduct code reviews and architecture reviews to ensure quality, reliability, and maintainability.
• Stay current with emerging blockchain technologies, standards, and implementation practices to ensure long-term platform relevance.

We are seeking an expert-level professional with 8+ years of software development experience and 5+ years of blockchain architecture and engineering with the following background:

• Proven experience in designing and architecting Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols, with strong contributions to blockchain projects.
• Mastery of programming in Golang, Rust, and/or C++ for low-level protocol development.
• In-depth understanding of blockchain fundamentals (consensus algorithms, peer-to-peer networking, node operation, state management).
• Strong knowledge of cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure protocol design.
• Extensive experience with EVM-compatible blockchains, including writing, auditing, and deploying smart contracts.
• Extensive hands‑on experience of non‑EVM chains such as Solana and Cosmos.
• Hands‑on experience with decentralized storage (IPFS), oracle services, and cross‑chain bridges.
• Expertise in algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and back‑end development.
• Strong exposure to AI/ML frameworks, deep learning, or large language models (LLMs) and their integration with blockchain execution environments.
• Familiarity with Node.js and Python for building supporting services.
• Strong background in CI/CD pipelines, Dev Ops, and containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Demonstrated ability to design for scalability and performance in production‑grade blockchain environments.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline from a reputable institution.
• Additional certifications or research contributions in blockchain, distributed systems, or AI will be considered a strong advantage.

• Visionary mindset to drive innovation in blockchain‑AI convergence.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills.
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities, manage complexity, and enforce technical excellence.
• Excellent communication skills with a collaborative approach to problem‑solving.
