About Us
At Tenderly, we’re not just shaping the future of blockchain technology – we’re defining it. As a full-stack Web3 infrastructure platform, we provide multi-network support and a comprehensive ecosystem that covers every aspect of the blockchain journey, from initial encounters to advanced Node solutions and serverless cloud compute functions.
Our mission is crystal clear: to empower developers worldwide to harness the full potential of blockchain technology for creating innovative products. With our robust Web3 infrastructure platform, we’ve already enabled tens of thousands of developers to work more efficiently with blockchain. We thrive on tackling complex challenges head-on, crafting solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain world. From developing bespoke Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implementations to designing proprietary storage layers optimized for our advanced blockchain node solutions, our team is at the forefront of industry innovation.
About the Role
Do you love the challenge of turning raw machine code and data into clear, human-readable insights, while working at the intersection of blockchain and scalable cloud systems?
As a Technical Lead Backend Engineer on our Debugger team, you’ll play a pivotal role in decoding the complexities of blockchain infrastructure and developing systems that bring real-time insights to life. This is your opportunity to build transformative solutions in the blockchain space while empowering teams and customers alike.

- Build capabilities for real-time transaction processing and automatic validation of source code against deployed system code.
- Create systems that enhance the stability and reliability of critical cloud services.
Collaborate and Innovate
- Partner with cross-functional teams to design features that delight customers and solve complex problems.
- Work on product-driven initiatives that push the boundaries of blockchain infrastructure.
About You
We’re looking for a highly skilled and innovative engineer with a passion for backend development and blockchain technology. You should have:
- Impactful Experience: A track record of delivering scalable solutions for internal and customer-facing systems in dynamic environments.
- Leadership & Ownership: Confidence in leading technical decisions and taking projects from concept to execution.
- Computer Science Foundation: Strong understanding of core principles, with knowledge of compilers and low-level execution as a plus.
- Collaborative Mindset: Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in cross-functional teams.
- Technical Expertise: Proficiency in Go, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms, with experience decoding low-level bytecode, building cloud debugging systems, and enabling real-time transactions.
- Blockchain Curiosity: An interest in blockchain infrastructure; experience is a bonus but not required.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Proven ability to tackle performance, scalability, and reliability challenges, including validating and verifying source code.
