Mirror is hiring an engineer to construct and maintain backend infrastructure for APIs. This candidate will collaborate with the team on deployment operations, telemetry, and data pipelines to support our growing suite of products. Examples of projects include improving our blockchain data pipelines — so that we have access to accurate Ethereum data in real time — and improving our infrastructure optics so that our products always experience uptime.
Eventually, Mirror wants to further decentralize our API services, which will be an exciting project to build something new in the world of community-owned, decentralized (rather than merely distributed) backend architecture. Mirror also plans to support robust APIs for external developers to build on top of the Mirror protocol and ecosystem to empower crypto-native creators and communities.
