Software Engineer, Control Plane at Conduit

Conduit is an enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure and tooling platform powering the next generation of on-chain applications. Our platform supports many of the most notable teams in crypto, with use cases spanning payments, tokenization, and beyond. Built for security, customization, and scalability, Conduit delivers production-grade reliability paired with deep blockchain expertise—so teams can stay focused on what matters most: their product. Backed by a $37M Series A led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures, Conduit is a remote-first company with offices in San Francisco and New York City for those who prefer a hybrid environment. Our team brings experience from companies like Meta, Amazon, Aave, Compound, and Paradigm. We’re building the infrastructure layer that will power on-chain finance for the next decade.

About the Role Conduit's Control Plane team owns the coordination layer of the Conduit Platform: the services that provision, update, and retire everything customers run on us — rollups, RPC nodes, indexing, and whatever comes next — meter what those products consume, and give both customers and our own team a trustworthy picture of what is actually running. The core of it is a control loop. We're building a lifecycle service that observes what's actually running and reconciles toward the desired state, rather than writing a status field and hoping it stays true. It treats each product as opaque: its shape and configuration come from schema read at runtime, so onboarding a new product type is a description, not a pull request. If you've worked on Kubernetes controllers, provisioning APIs, deployment systems, or any platform where the hard part is keeping many systems consistent with one another, this will feel familiar. It's a web2 stack in service of web3 technology — we don't require blockchain experience, and people on the team picked up the domain here. Three things worth knowing up front: A small, senior team with a large charter. Control Plane is small and entirely senior — this layer is critical enough that everyone on it operates independently. The surface area — lifecycle, usage reporting, the customer-facing API, internal tooling — is wider than the team can build at once, which is why we spent this year defining what it owns and what it doesn't. The upside is unusual influence: your design decisions become the architecture rather than one input among many. The mission is automation. Plenty of platform operations still have a human in the loop. Turning those into automated, self-serve paths is the work — and because the first users of what you build are inside the company, the feedback loop is measured in hours, not quarters. A lot of this work is decoupling before extending. These systems grew organically and carry real coupling. We'd rather pay that down than keep building on top of it. The team optimizes for correctness and reliability first. Performance mat
