About Stellar
Stellar is a decentralized, public blockchain that gives developers the tools to create experiences that are more like cash than crypto. The network is faster, cheaper, and far more energy-efficient than most blockchain-based systems.

- Investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks to ensure API services scale effectively
- Author detailed technical specifications (RFCs) to contribute to our design process
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience developing software as part of a collaborative team
- Strong computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and information retrieval
- Proficiency in server application development in Go, Python, Rust, C#, Java, or C++, with willingness to work across languages
Bonus Skills
- Solid grasp of software design patterns and ability to build reusable, extensible, modular components
- Experience with blockchain technology
- Experience building data pipelines
- Experience contributing to open-source projects
