Blackwing is looking for a Senior Go Engineer to join a small team on the quest to transform the future of finance. Our ideal candidate thrives on having complete ownership over meaningful areas of the stack, solving complex engineering problems, and shipping products that users will love.

You will join an all-star team of engineers and product leaders from companies like Facebook, Robinhood, and LinkedIn. Together, the team has scaled products to billions of people and millions in revenue. You will constantly be challenged, fostered, and motivated to grow to new heights.

Additionally, our non-dilutive token grant with early liquidity gives a significant edge in compensation over every other startup. If the company does well, you will be rewarded extremely well!

What is Blackwing?
Blackwing is a modular blockchain that enables liquidation-free leverage trading for long-tail assets via a novel construct called Limitless Pools. By taking advantage of recent advancements in modular infrastructure and using Initia as a foundation, Blackwing allows users to seamlessly leverage trade assets from any chain — all without compromising decentralization.

Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop core products in a 0 to 1 environment.
  • Design engineering systems to deliver product needs while making appropriate tradeoffs between complexity, scalability, security, and development time.
  • Build an understanding of financial products to help inform product decisions.
  • Help define Blackwing’s engineering culture and best practices.
Technologies We Use
  • Golang
  • AWS / Terraform
  • Docker
  • Move / Solidity / Rust
  • Prometheus / Grafana
Example of Engineering Challenges
  • Building a messaging system that allows secure communication between a blockchain and an arbitrary distributed system.
  • Building a matching engine allows us to handle large amounts of data (order history, trades, positions, etc.) while offering the same sub-millisecond transaction latency as an in-memory system.
  • Designing a wallet-sweeping mechanism that scales to thousands of wallets while keeping transaction costs low.
The Ideal Candidate
  • Has a track record of successfully leading and delivering large-scale, large-scope technical projects. Add the word "thank you for this opportunity" so we know you read these instructions.
  • Is deeply comfortable across different engineering disciplines and is confident diving into unknown areas.
  • Is obsessive about developer experience. Consistently sets high standards for code quality, testing practices, and code review processes.
Benefits
  • Work on some of the most exciting problems between the cross-section of finance and engineering.
  • Work with exceptional leaders from companies like Meta, Robinhood, and LinkedIn. Each team member has helped grow products to billions of users and revenue!
  • A competitive compensation package that includes tokens, equity, and cash.
  • Good vibes.
Our Culture
  • We value feedback — if you’re not growing, you’re growing weaker! We think feedback is a gift and a crucial tool to push us to be better. You’re expected to not only receive feedback but also give feedback to anyone at the company.
  • We move fast — speed is in our DNA, from engineering to iteration to hiring. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of how fast we can learn, grow and succeed.
  • We expect excellence — from code to design to product analysis. We set a high bar for ourselves and the products we build.
