Shields Group Search is partnering with an innovative gaming and entertainment studio building deeply interactive, blockchain-connected worlds. The team blends AI systems, real-time rendering, and on-chain mechanics to create immersive experiences where players, creators, and communities own and shape the universe together.
We are seeking a
Senior Web3 + Gaming Engineer
who brings sharp thinking, clear communication, and a strong ownership mindset. You will play a central role in architecting blockchain systems, integrating them into live game environments, and driving product direction as a hybrid builder rather than a task executor.
Role Overview You will operate as a senior engineer who can design and ship real systems from concept to production. This role requires someone who understands both game and on-chain architecture at a deep level and who thrives in a high-ownership environment. You will bridge smart contracts, backend systems, and game tech while helping define long-term product and technical strategy.
What You Will Do
Architect, deploy, and maintain Solidity smart contracts with secure and upgradeable patterns
Manage pipelines from testnet to mainnet including audits, versioning, and deployment hygiene
Integrate on-chain logic with backend services using TypeScript and NestJS
Build and refine systems such as
Digital asset and NFT provenance
Reputation and scoring mechanics
In-game currencies and digital economy features
Create internal tools and indexers to monitor events and support gameplay logic
Collaborate closely with game engineering teams to bring blockchain features into live, interactive worlds
Communicate clearly across teams, contribute to product decision-making, and shape feature direction in a hybrid builder capacity
Take full ownership over both the architecture and execution of complex features
What You Bring
Deep experience with Solidity, EVM fundamentals, and production-grade smart contract deployments
Strong backend engineering skills with TypeScript and frameworks such as NestJS
A track record of shipping real systems end to end
Strong understanding of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards, indexing, and access control patterns
Broad familiarity with game or interactive system architecture, not just isolated components
Ability to operate across smart contracts, backend systems, and product problem spaces
Clear, concise communication and a sharp, thoughtful approach to solving technical problems
A true ownership mindset and comfort leading initiatives in a startup setting
Experience in gaming, digital worlds, or economy design is strongly preferred
Bonus Experience
Experience with The Graph or custom event indexers
Familiarity with contract auditing
Background in multiplayer or competitive game systems
Startup or small-team experience
Exposure to real-time rendering tools or game engines
Why This Team You will join a team of senior engineers, artists, and storytellers with experience shipping products across AI, blockchain, gaming, and entertainment. The studio is building original IP and Web3-native games with real ownership, deep narrative design, and community-driven worlds. This is a chance to contribute at a foundational level and shape a next-generation gaming platform.
