Open role
[Remote] Founding Engineer (Soft Offer)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vanamonde Technology is a research-driven infrastructure startup building AI agent-native software abstraction infrastructure. The Founding Engineer will help define and implement the CSTG computational architecture, develop system-level prototypes, and contribute to the broader technical foundations of the system.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement system-level logic involving state, computation, data flow, and modular capabilities
- Work directly on the CSTG minimum viable prototype and its underlying computational logic
- Design APIs, services, and supporting infrastructure that interact with blockchain and stateful system components
- Translate architectural concepts into working technical prototypes and production-oriented system components
- Contribute across backend, infrastructure, protocol, and frontend layers when required by the system
- Establish engineering standards for code quality, testing, reliability, and maintainability
- Investigate technical questions where the correct architecture is not yet known
- Work closely with the founding team to refine system definitions and evaluate architectural trade-offs
Skills
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and solid system design ability
- Experience building and maintaining non-trivial software systems
- Ability to reason about system architecture, state, data flow, and component interactions
- Ability to work independently in environments where requirements and implementation paths are not fully defined
- Strong ownership and willingness to take responsibility for problems beyond a narrowly defined task
- Ability to understand unfamiliar technical concepts quickly and turn them into working implementations
- Backend or infrastructure engineering
- Distributed systems
- Protocol or blockchain engineering
- Stateful or event-driven systems
- APIs, services, and data-intensive systems
- Smart contracts, Ethereum, L2s, Cosmos, or related ecosystems
- AI systems, agent infrastructure, or tool integration
- Other systems-oriented or research-driven engineering work
