About Midas

Midas is pioneering the future of asset tokenization by offering exposure to institutional-grade securities and structured products onchain - accessible, global, and compliant. Co-founded by former investment professional Dennis Dinkelmeyer and seasoned serial entrepreneur Fabrice Grinda, Midas aims to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance. Since launching in October 2024, Midas has grown to over $1b in total value locked (TVL) across its range of investment products, reflecting strong market fit and demand. The company raised a $9m seed round from top-tier investors including BlockTower, Framework Ventures, and Coinbase Ventures and others – now Midas is looking for outstanding talents to scale and execute on its vision of a more open and efficient financial system.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Early Engineering Ownership
  
  Operate as a core contributor in a lean, high-signal team, shaping system design, security posture, and engineering standards from first principles.

• Distributed System & Backend Architecture
  
  Design and maintain high-throughput, fault-tolerant backend systems handling onchain/offchain data flows (indexers, event processors, transaction pipelines).
  
  Strong focus on idempotency, consistency, and observability.

• API & Service Layer Design
  
  Build and evolve typed, versioned APIs (REST/GraphQL) with clear contracts, enabling reliable integrations across internal services and external partners.
  
  Emphasis on performance, caching strategies, and rate limiting.

• Fullstack Development (TypeScript-first)
  
  Develop end-to-end features using NestJS (backend) and React (frontend) within a monorepo architecture (Nx/Yarn workspaces).
  
  Maintain strong typing, modularity, and DX standards.

• Blockchain & Web3 Integration
  
  Integrate with EVM networks using libraries such as viem / wagmi / ethers, handling:

  • Smart contract interactions (reads/writes)
  • Transaction lifecycle management (simulation, signing, submission, monitoring)
  • Wallet connectivity (EOA + smart wallets / MPC / Safe)

• Security & Reliability
  
  Apply security best practices across the stack:

  • Auth (OAuth, JWT, API keys)
  • Infra security (WAF, rate limiting, isolation)
  • Smart contract interaction safety (simulation, validation)

Contribute to a security-first culture with strong review processes.

• CI/CD & Developer Experience
  Maintain fast iteration cycles with automated testing, GitHub Actions, and continuous deployment.
  Optimize for high deployment frequency with minimal risk.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience
  
  6+ years of experience building production-grade systems, with strong expertise in:

  • TypeScript / Node.js (NestJS preferred)
  • React (or similar modern frontend frameworks)
  • PostgreSQL (query optimization, indexing, migrations)

• Web3 / DeFi Expertise
  
  Strong understanding of:

  • EVM architecture and transaction lifecycle
    
  • DeFi primitives (AMMs, vaults, yield strategies)
    
  • Smart contract interaction patterns
    

Bonus: experience with Solidity, Foundry/Hardhat, or auditing

• Systems Thinking
  
  Ability to design systems that handle:

  • High data throughput (onchain events, logs)
  • Distributed components
  • Failure scenarios (RPC issues, reorgs, partial failures)

• Security Mindset
  
  Deep understanding of application and infrastructure security, including:

  • Secure API design
  • Secrets management
  • Attack surface reduction in Web3 contexts

• Ownership & Autonomy
  
  Comfortable operating in a low-process, high-ownership environment, making pragmatic trade-offs and driving projects end-to-end.

• Communication & Collaboration
  
  Strong ability to work asynchronously in a remote-first, globally distributed team, with clear written and verbal communication.

• Timezone
  
  Ability to overlap with EST / GMT working hours.
