D3, Inc.
Overview
We are building the worlds first purpose-built blockchain for DomainFi, bringing domain tokenization and DeFi primitives to a massive real-world asset class. Our elite team includes industry veterans who have shaped the internet for decades, from domain name monetization to launching major TLDs. We recently closed a $25M Series A led by Paradigm and are based in Los Angeles with team members worldwide. We are looking for driven, talented builders to help build a trillion-dollar DomainFi economy. Job Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Solana Blockchain Engineer to design and implement the D3 Protocol connecting traditional DNS and web3 naming technologies to create a unified naming system compatible across the Internet and all blockchains. You will develop and maintain core platform APIs and smart contract integrations with the Solana blockchain. Familiarity with Solana smart contracts and standards such as SPL Token, Metaplex, and Token-2022 is essential. Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with the product team to translate requirements into technical specifications and features. Lead the research, design, implementation, deployment and monitoring of the D3 Protocol enabling tokenization of domains as Real World Assets (RWAs) onto the Solana blockchain. Research, implement and maintain Solana programs to enable DomainFi applications across the Solana ecosystem, including tokenization, name resolution, secondary trading, and lending/borrowing. Implement backend services to interface with the Solana blockchain and traditional DNS Registry/Registrar infrastructure. Ensure the scalability, performance, and security of the protocol and application. Maintain code quality through code reviews, testing, and debugging. Maintain and optimize the performance of the existing codebase and address bugs or issues as they arise. Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, frameworks, and best practices in web development, blockchain, and smart contract development. Qualifications
Strong passion for blockchain technologies and protocols. Extensive knowledge and experience in Solana blockchain including smart contract development and deployment, blockchain bridges, oracles, indexers, DeFi, and NFT marketplaces. Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field (relevant certifications and coursework are a plus). Minimum 5 years of professional backend development experience with Node.js and MySQL/Postgres. Minimum 3 years of blockchain development experience using Solidity/Rust, with strong understanding of distributed systems, consensus algorithms, and storage subsystems. Familiarity with Git and Agile methodologies for collaborative development. Strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a self-motivated attitude with a willingness to learn new technologies in a fast-paced startup environment. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently and with cross-functional teams to achieve business goals. Pluses
DevOps experience with Kubernetes, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, AWS, and Linux environments. Familiarity with NestJS and GraphQL. Experience maintaining or creating blockchain oracles. Why D3, Why Now?
