1inch: DeFi Ecosystem Building Financial Freedom
1inch is the DeFi ecosystem building financial freedom for everyone. 1inch products help users and builders trade, hold and track digital assets - with the self-custody, comprehensive security and the intuitive user experience they need to unlock the potential of true crypto ownership. 1inch protocols and APIs provide core infrastructure across the DeFi industry and beyond.
Your Mission
1inch is one of the most widely used DeFi platforms, powering swaps, limit orders and liquidity tools across multiple chains. Our backend systems sit between users and the blockchain — routing transactions, aggregating liquidity, serving APIs at scale, and ensuring every operation is correct in a high-stakes financial environment.
We are building a talent pool of backend engineers at mid and senior level who want to help shape this infrastructure. This is an evergreen posting: there is no single open role tied to it, but when approved positions arise you will already be in our pipeline.
What You'll Do
- Build, extend, and operate backend services and APIs that power 1inch products and internal platforms
- Improve scalability, reliability, maintainability, and developer experience across backend systems
- Design and implement integrations with smart-contract platforms, blockchain data sources, and external services
- Contribute to observability, monitoring, incident response, and post-mortem processes
- Optimise backend services for performance, resilience, and operational efficiency
- Collaborate closely with product, blockchain, and infrastructure teams to deliver reliable distributed systems
- Participate in code reviews, testing workflows, and engineering best practices across the development lifecycle
- At senior level, own services end-to-end, define technical direction, and mentor other engineers
