- - Financial and cosmetic economy. Take point on implementing currencies, balances, drops, crafting, cosmetics and entitlements, including reconciliation with on-chain assets and commerce. Every transaction must be idempotent, auditable and reversible.
- - Social product. Chat, timelines, feeds and notifications, built as reusable backend capabilities rather than one-off features. rather than one-off features.
- - API model. Implement contract-first, versioned APIs, and help evolve the contracts with the architect so frontends, mobile and third-party clients can build on them.
- - Raise the bar. Bring hard-won experience to design reviews, testing and code review, and mentor others on the team.

You'll work with our lead architect on the data model and API contracts, and frontend team builds on what you ship.
- Our stack is intentionally boring technology and a minimal-dependency monorepo: Go, SQLite, TypeScript/React. We'd rather have one well-structured service than ten fragile ones.
