What they need
Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer to build and operate two critical BNB Smart Chain infrastructure systems: MegaNode , our high-performance RPC platform, and BSC Builder , our block-building and MEV execution platform.
You will work on low-latency transaction processing, block construction, RPC reliability, full-node integrations, hardfork compatibility, and production incident resolution. This role is ideal for an engineer who can move comfortably between blockchain client internals and high-scale distributed systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize BSC Builder capabilities, including transaction and bundle ingestion, block building, bid submission, payment flows, and builder-to-validator integrations.
- Improve backrun and block-construction performance through pathfinding, parallel transaction optimization, EVM simulation, and execution deduplication.
- Build systems for bid, transaction, bundle, and backrun tracking; improve the observability and storage efficiency of the builder pipeline.
- Implement and maintain BSC protocol and hardfork upgrades in Builder and MegaNode, including client/API compatibility and downstream-service adaptation.
- Develop MegaNode components for high-throughput RPC, block/state-diff collection, trace/debug APIs, and lightweight-node infrastructure.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues involving Kafka message ordering, node/block-tree stalls, RPC panics, long-tail EVM simulations, and multi-region releases.
- Improve reliability, latency, capacity, monitoring, and incident-response processes for critical RPC and builder services.
- Work closely with protocol, DevOps, and QA teams to design, test, release, and operate production-grade infrastructure.
Requirements
- 4+ years of backend, infrastructure, distributed-systems, or blockchain engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in Go. Solid experience with Rust, C++, or Java is a plus.
- Strong understanding of concurrent programming, distributed systems, Linux, networking, and production debugging.
- Hands-on experience with EVM-compatible blockchains, including transactions, mempools, EVM execution, JSON-RPC, and full-node operations.
- Familiarity with blockchain client internals such as go-ethereum, BSC, Reth, or comparable node implementations.
- Experience designing and operating high-availability, low-latency services in production.
- Strong ownership mindset: able to investigate ambiguous issues, identify root causes, and deliver robust fixes independently.
- Comfortable collaborating across engineering, QA, and operations in a fast-moving environment.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with BNB Smart Chain, BSC Builder, PBS, MEV, block bidding, transaction bundles, or backrun strategies.
- Experience with gRPC, Kafka, S3/object storage, Prometheus, Grafana, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure.
- Experience optimizing EVM simulation, transaction execution, RPC trace APIs, or state-diff/indexing pipelines.
- Experience with hardfork upgrades and compatibility work across blockchain clients and downstream infrastructure.
- Experience building public RPC products or developer-facing blockchain APIs.
- Contributions to open-source blockchain infrastructure projects.
What We Offer
- Ownership of production infrastructure at the core of the BNB Chain ecosystem.
- Deep technical work spanning RPC platforms, blockchain clients, MEV, and distributed systems.
- High autonomy, fast feedback loops, and direct impact on platform reliability and performance.
- Competitive compensation and flexible working arrangements.
