ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a Middle/Senior Backend Engineer who is passionate about building scalable blockchain infrastructure and Web3 services to join our Xsolla ZK team. The best candidate will be someone who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative, and exceptionally dynamic setting and is excited to develop backend systems that power NFT marketplaces, smart wallets, and blockchain-based gaming infrastructure.

Strong backend development skills in Go are essential, along with experience in building high-load distributed systems and working with databases. The ability to design resilient microservices architecture and integrate with blockchain networks will be key to your success in this role.

If you're passionate about building the infrastructure layer for next-generation gaming and love working on cutting-edge blockchain technology that enables gamers to truly own their digital assets, we would love to hear from you!

  • Smart Contract Interaction: Generating Go bindings via abigen, handling factory dependencies for contract deployment, implementing EIP-712 transaction signing and ERC-1271 signature verification
  • Session Keys & Delegated Permissions: Supporting scoped, time-limited, contract-allowlisted authority (ERC-7710 / ERC-7715) for gasless, prompt-free gameplay transactions
  • Event Processing: Building blockchain event scanners for multiple chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Xsolla ZK), implementing reorg handling and transaction finality tracking
  • High-Availability Architecture: Designing resilient microservices for NFT marketplace and wallet backends with real-time WebSocket updates

Responsibilities

  • Develop backend services using Go with ethkit and go-ethereum for Ethereum interactions and RPC integration
  • Integrate with ZK Stack infrastructure: work with EraVM, system contracts, and L1↔L2 messaging

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
