Senior hands-on engineer responsible for production-ready blockchain platform architecture, smart contract development, multi-chain integrations (EVM and non-EVM), secure transaction lifecycles, wallet and RPC integrations, RBAC, audit logging, monitoring, treasury and payout workflows, and compliance/security controls working with the technical lead and founders.

This is a remote position.

Our client is building the infrastructure that enables humanitarian organizations to use stablecoins without requiring blockchain expertise.

Rather than building another wallet or payment application, we're creating an orchestration layer that connects donors, NGOs, compliance providers, blockchain networks, regulated financial institutions, and local payout providers through a single API.

Blockchain is the infrastructure—not the product.

Our platform orchestrates the complete payment workflow, including:

  • Funding and treasury management
  • Compliance and sanctions screening
  • On-chain transactions
  • Reporting and audit trails
  • Beneficiary payouts
  • Local off-ramp integrations

We integrate best-in-class providers for custody, compliance, blockchain connectivity, and financial settlement instead of replacing existing financial infrastructure.

About the Engagement

This role begins as a project-based contract focused on delivering key milestones for an upcoming pilot.

The initial engagement is deliverables-based, with clearly defined objectives and timelines. Upon successful completion of the pilot and continued platform growth, there is a strong opportunity to transition into a long-term full-time engineering role.

You'll work directly with the founding team and Technical Lead, helping shape the architecture and technical direction of the platform.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
