Blockchain Developer

🚀 Blockchain Architect | San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid) | 12-Month Contract | Rate: Up to $70 per hour

I'm looking to hire a Blockchain Architect for a 12-month contract role based in the San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid). To help shape enterprise-grade blockchain and digital asset architecture within a complex, regulated financial environment.

🌐 The Role

You will be responsible for defining how blockchain and distributed ledger technologies integrate into existing financial systems, ensuring all solutions remain secure, scalable, resilient, and compliant with enterprise and regulatory standards.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, translating business strategy into robust technical architecture and guiding long-term platform evolution.

🧠 What You’ll Do

  • Lead architectural design for blockchain-enabled initiatives, including tokenized deposits, digital assets, and distributed settlement systems
  • Design hybrid architectures integrating distributed ledger platforms with core banking systems, payments infrastructure, data platforms, and event-driven microservices
  • Define on-chain vs off-chain responsibilities, including smart contracts, orchestration layers, APIs, and operational controls
  • Evaluate permissioned blockchain technologies, identity models, privacy frameworks, and governance structures for regulated environments
  • Treat smart contracts as deterministic business logic, not workflow orchestration
  • Establish architectural guardrails for digital asset platforms, ensuring interoperability, scalability, and avoidance of vendor lock-in

🎯 What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years’ experience in software engineering and/or architecture roles
  • Strong background in large-scale distributed systems and enterprise architecture
  • Experience with cloud-native, microservices, and event-driven architectures
  • Exposure to financial services, payments, trading, or other regulated environments
  • Familiarity with blockchain / DLT concepts and smart contract design principles
  • Strong understanding of security, resiliency, governance, and non-functional requirements
