Senior Backend Engineer — Trading & Web3 Platform

Location: Melbourne (Office-first, 4 days onsite)

At Magic Eden, we're building the next evolution of Web3 — making digital ownership intuitive, accessible, and, yes, magical. As the #1 Bitcoin dApp and the leading NFT marketplace, we're now expanding into a new frontier: a platform that sits at the intersection of sports, trading, and Web3. Backed by top tier investors from Sequoia, Paradigm, Electric Capital, and Lightspeed we're building what comes next.

This platform will power high-volume data streams, real-time odds, market-making mechanics, and financial-grade reliability — built from the ground up. You'll be part of a small, high-performing team building the technical core that will define how millions of users interact with on-chain markets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architect and develop scalable, event-driven backend systems using , TypeScript, and AWS
  • Design and optimize real-time data pipelines leveraging Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent streaming technologies
  • Lead end-to-end delivery from architecture and implementation to deployment and monitoring in production
  • Collaborate closely with Infrastructure, Product, and Data teams to solve complex challenges and accelerate delivery
  • Set the technical vision for backend architecture, contributing to design reviews and mentoring other engineers
Qualifications & Skills
  • 4+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems in production
  • Proven success with high-throughput, low-latency services in fintech, trading, or entertainment offerings
  • Strong foundation in distributed systems design, cloud infrastructure, and data streaming
  • Experience leading large projects or small teams, balancing shipping speed with long-term system integrity
  • A collaborative, hands-on mindset — someone who takes ownership, moves fast, and builds for scale
  • Strong preference for gaming / entertainment industry experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Impact from day one: Join at the ground floor — your code will shape the future of the platform
  • Learn fast: Build alongside founders who scaled Magic Eden from idea to unicorn in just nine months
  • Innovate at scale: Contribute to high-velocity systems that blend sports, markets, and Web3 innovation
  • Culture built on accountability: Engineers here are self-directed, empowered, and own their outcomes end-to-end

    Competitive compensation and equity: Be rewarded for the impact you drive at one of the fastest-scaling Web3 companies globally

If you're passionate about 0-to-1 builds, high-impact, and working with exceptional engineers – we'd love to talk.
