Senior Backend Engineer
Biconomy
Biconomy empowers Web3 developers to build seamless, user-friendly dApps that work effortlessly across multiple blockchains. Our battle-tested modular account and execution stack eliminates traditional UX friction points, helping projects accelerate user adoption while reducing development costs. By processing over 50 million transactions across the 300+ dApps we've served, we're powering the future of onchain economies.
The Role â Build the Protocol Powering the Future of Web3
As a Senior Backend Engineer on our Modular Execution Environment (MEE) team, youâll help architect and scale the MEE protocol â a modular execution layer for advanced blockchain operations designed to horizontally scale blockchains in a multi-chain world. This is not just application development â youâll be building foundational infrastructure that underpins decentralized, cross-chain supertransactions and smart account interactions.
Youâll work across the entire MEE stack:
MEE Protocol â Develop the decentralized network and cryptoeconomic systems, working on P2P communication, slashing mechanisms, and storage proofs.
MEE Network Infrastructure â Build the foundational infrastructure, from bundlers to validators, supporting the MEE protocolâs decentralization roadmap.
Backend & Indexers â Design complex systems to aggregate, index, and interpret on-chain and off-chain data, powering real-time cross-chain operations.
Implementing Supertransactions - Develop and refine a novel data type that defines cross-chain operations (EVM and non-EVM). Supertransactions aggregate multiple on-chain and off-chain interactions into a Merkle tree, enabling seamless, complex multi-chain execution.
What You Will Be Doing:
Protocol Development â Contribute to core MEE protocol components, including slashing mechanisms, cryptoeconomic design, and validator infrastructure.
Infrastructure Design â Build the backend infrastructure that facilitates MEEâs transition from centralized to fully decentralized P2P execution.
Indexers & Aggregation â Develop and optimize indexing services that process and aggregate data across multiple blockchains into abstract supertransaction models.
Cross-Chain Execution â Design systems to handle seamless cross-chain flows, enabling developers to execute complex, multi-chain transactions with minimal overhead.
Scalable Backend Systems â Implement scalable microservices, APIs, and backend solutions to support high-throughput, low-latency blockchain interactions.
Collaborate on Cutting-Edge Tech â Work with blockchain engineers, cryptographers, and product teams to integrate novel technologies like storage proofs, intent-based bridges, and gossip networks.
