Founding Backend Engineer - Blockchain

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Founding Backend Engineer - Blockchain - this is a hybrid role in San Francisco.

We are a SaaS startup, at the bleeding edge of technology innovation, born in the heart of Silicon Valley! Amongst all other startups out there, what makes us different?

• Live and field-tested product with active, happy customers: Opposed to many other early startups we have a big advantage: a product with happy customers. While many other startups sell candidates on the idea of a product, Guardrail already has it in hand. In just a few short years, we have identified clear PMF that customers are willing to pay for!
• Strong financial position: Backed with significant funding from Haun Ventures and Coinbase, we have made a concerted effort to keep our team small and elite. This has put us in a great position to have already built a product and maintain an extremely healthy runway for the next couple of years.
• Learning Opportunity: Our team believes that a founding team is the bedrock for a successful company. Our team members are experts in their field. Not only will you have the chance to learn from them, you will also have the chance to gain product ownership experience not possible at larger companies and contribute day 1 to the future of our company.
• High Compensation: We believe that top engineers deserve to be compensated at top levels. Quality beats quantity and we're willing to pay for the best people and tools imaginable.

Our philosophy is that an interested and motivated engineer will produce the best work. Therefore, we do our best to put employees in an environment that will help nurture those characteristics.

• Motivation: Our priority is to keep our customers happy. Doing so will increase our odds of success and in turn, maximize the expected value of your equity. We encourage employees to ask “Why am I doing this?” to keep everyone focused on maximizing their own compensation via a successful business with happy customers.
• Interest: Although customers come first, the next priority is to keep engineers interested in the work they are doing. Our team will make sacrifices to ensure that you are working on something that scratches your itch of whatever you’re curious or passionate about.
  

In terms of your day-to-day, we expect you to write code, lots of it. We want employees to be passionate and excited to write software.
