About Helius
Helius is building the core infrastructure for Solana - empowering developers to create the next generation of crypto-powered applications. Our mission is to accelerate the development of internet capital markets by making it easier, faster, and more intuitive to build on-chain.
Thousands of teams - from early-stage startups to industry leaders like Coinbase, Phantom, and Jupiter - rely on Helius APIs, webhooks, and indexing tools to power their products. Backed by Haun Ventures, Founders Fund, and Foundation Capital, we’re a small, senior team obsessed with performance, simplicity, and scalability in decentralized systems.
Read our Helius Manifesto to learn how we build, make decisions, and operate as a team.
About the Role We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to own the systems that determine how customers adopt, upgrade, and pay for Helius. This work sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and revenue. You’ll design clean, reliable foundations for billing, metering, pricing, and entitlements, then build the flows that make them intuitive for customers. The role is broad, high-ownership, and requires strong technical depth paired with sharp product instincts.
What You'll Do
Design and build monetization-critical systems, including billing, metering, and entitlements
Own backend logic powering free trials, upgrades, usage-based pricing, quotas, and upsell flows
Collaborate with the Full-Stack team on features that directly impact revenue and adoption
Ensure correctness, reliability, and auditability across pricing and billing systems
Drive long-term architecture for metering, quota enforcement, and product enablement
Move quickly, make strong product calls, and keep systems simple and resilient
What You'll Bring
8+ years of backend/full-stack engineering experience with scalable APIs or distributed systems
Experience building & maintaining billing systems in high-growth environments
Proficient with database design, microservice architecture, and strongly-typed programming languages (e.g. Golang)
Strong instincts around correctness, data integrity, and operational reliability
Ability to connect engineering decisions to real revenue outcomes
Comfort owning broad, ambiguous problem areas and driving clarity
Even Better...
Frontend development experience (React, TypeScript, and Next.js preferred)
Prior startup and/or web3 experience
Solana development experience
Understanding of web security best practices
Why Helius?
High-impact work:
Your code will power applications used by millions across the Solana ecosystem, including Coinbase, Jupiter, and Phantom
Serious engineering:
Build fast, reliable systems and user experiences across distributed infra, high-throughput backends, and modern frontend stacks
Ownership & growth:
Lead critical initiatives, influence architecture and product direction, and take on more responsibility as the company scales
Remote-first flexibility:
Work where you’re most effective with a flexible, fully distributed team
Competitive comp & perks:
Market-leading salary, meaningful equity, generous vacation, wellness budgets, and support for learning and travel
Mission-driven team:
Join ambitious builders who move fast, take ownership, and are shaping the future of decentralized apps.
