Senior Software Engineer (L2)

With millions of wallets created and a global audience, Bitcoin.com is one of the world's leading crypto content and onboarding platforms. We're now starting something new, from a blank repo in Rust, and we're early enough that the architecture is still being decided. Join us in bringing crypto to the next billion users. This is a fully remote position based in Europe.
Key Responsibilities

- Design and build the core services behind the product: APIs, data models, integrations, and make the architectural calls that will shape the system for years

- Own significant pieces of the product end-to-end, from design through production, including on-call ownership and incident response

- Partner directly with Product and Design to shape requirements, pushing back where needed so what gets built holds up under real-world load

- Set the technical standard for the codebase: write code others can maintain, and hold the team to that bar through reviews and mentorship

- Drive architecture and technical decisions while the foundations are still being laid, and bring the judgment to know which decisions are expensive to reverse

- Mentor other engineers and help level up the team's practices around testing, instrumentation, and code quality

What We Are Looking For:
Required

- 5+ years of professional experience, with a track record of owning systems in production, not just shipping features

- Strong Rust, Go, Java or Kotlin; production Rust strongly preferred

- Proven experience designing REST APIs at scale; contracts, versioning strategy, and the judgment to know what will and will not age well

- Deep experience with AWS or equivalent, containers, and CI/CD, including having built or hardened these systems, not just used them

- Fluent with AI coding tools like Claude Code, with strong judgment on when to trust, and when to override, their output

- Experience mentoring engineers and/or leading technical initiatives

- Clear written and verbal English, and a self-driven work style

- BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Nice to Have

- Payment rails (SEPA, SWIFT, ACH) or card issuing

- Regulated fintech: PSD2, KYC/AML, PCI DSS

- Crypto custody, on-chain settlement, stablecoin flows

- Monitoring and analytics tools (Sentry, New Relic)

- Experience setting technical direction or architecture for a product from its earliest stages

- Solid blockchain fundamentals: ERC20, RPC nodes, UTXO vs account models

Why Join Us

- Competitive salary and benefits

- Build a new product from the ground up, not maintain someone else's

- Room to grow in a fast-moving global organization

- Shape the architecture and technical culture of a fast-moving global organization

- One of the most recognized names in crypto

- Flexible, modern, remote-friendly environment
