About the Role

The Blockchain Backend Engineer will build the backend architecture that connects VistralNova's game systems with blockchain networks, smart contracts, digital assets, and player-facing applications. This role focuses on APIs, microservices, indexing, transaction handling, wallet-connected workflows, and real-time platform services. You will help create the bridge between traditional game infrastructure and decentralized systems. This means building reliable backend services that can support gameplay, asset ownership, blockchain events, user accounts, rewards, and marketplace features without making the user experience feel slow or complicated.
