Staff Full-Stack Engineer (TypeScript) Frontend-leaning • Buenos Aires / LATAM

About Rad Hires

Rad Hires connects high-performing engineers with ambitious teams that move fast and build things that matter. We partner with lean, product-driven organizations to find the kind of talent that ships, owns outcomes, and raises the bar — not just fills a seat.

About the Role

Our client is a private custody platform built for long-horizon digital wealth management — focused on secure multi-chain asset custody, portfolio operations, and long-term reliability rather than speculative trading.

The team is migrating to a new solution and needs additional frontend bandwidth, while still expecting strong backend judgment and seamless systems integration. You'll join a small, senior, product-minded team to help build a greenfield v2 platform with new architecture, a new stack, and higher technical standards.

The role touches wallet operations, transaction signing, custody flows, portfolio management, and core product integration across multiple blockchains.

Responsibilities

- Design and build APIs and services for wallet management, transaction signing, asset tracking, and portfolio operations across multiple blockchains.
- Own PostgreSQL schema design for financial and blockchain data, including safe and type-aware migrations.
- Build and maintain blockchain interaction layers spanning EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, and Cosmos.
- Implement webhook handlers, background jobs, and async workflows for transaction monitoring, balance refreshes, and wallet lifecycle events.
- Design systems that correctly handle concurrency, idempotency, and failure recovery in financial workflows.
- Write migration scripts to transition legacy data into the v2 architecture.
- Support frontend integration work and wire React components to production APIs when it accelerates delivery.
- Write automated tests across unit, API, integration, and end-to-end layers.




- Use AI tools as a practical force multiplier across real engineering work — not only for autocomplete.
- Contribute to architecture and engineering culture as a senior technical voice.

Requirements

Core requirements

- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership and system ownership.
- 8+ years of experience with TypeScript across both Node.js and React environments.
- Strong product mindset — able to think beyond implementation and stay aligned with business and user needs.
- Proven experience handling concurrency, idempotency, and failure recovery in financial or payment-like systems.
- Comfortable owning features end-to-end and operating autonomously in a small remote engineering team.
- Clear AI fluency — actively using AI tools for end-to-end engineering work, not just autocomplete.
- English proficiency required for codebases, technical documentation, and professional communication.

Nice to have

- Crypto, Web3, or fintech backend experience.
- Precision handling for balances, decimals, and large-number financial data.
- Deep PostgreSQL expertise across schema design, indexing, optimization, and ORM usage.
- Strong understanding of blockchain fundamentals: transaction lifecycle, gas estimation, RPC providers, signing flows, and multi-chain addressing.
- Background job processing and async systems experience.
- AWS infrastructure experience (EC2, Lambda, ECS, RDS, S3, Terraform, CDK).
- Familiarity with wallet or custody infrastructure providers.
- Redis and caching strategies for high-throughput systems.
- Working knowledge of signing standards, token standards, smart contract integration, and modern Web3 libraries.
- Experience in fintech, private banking, or wealth-management technology.
