About this role
Galaxy Digital is building infrastructure for cryptocurrency and AI workloads at scale, and this role sits at the center of that mission. As a Back-End Software Engineer, you'd design and maintain the systems that power account onboarding and execution across Galaxy's custody, DeFi, and trading platforms—work that directly enables institutions to move into digital assets. You'd own services end-to-end, from design through production support, partnering with a global engineering team to ship features that balance technical rigor with operational impact.
The role demands 5+ years of back-end development experience, with solid proficiency in Java (Spring Boot, Vert.x) or Python (FastAPI), databases, and distributed systems thinking. You'll spend time both architecting medium-to-large initiatives with tech leads and staying hands-on implementing core components. If you've worked in traditional finance or crypto—particularly on trading, middle-office, or back-office systems—that's a meaningful advantage. The company values builders who thrive on transparency, independent decision-making, and a mission-first approach, and they're explicit about wanting people genuinely interested in the crypto industry.
This is an in-office role based in Indiana, full-time, with competitive salary, bonus, and benefits including paid parental leave and professional development through coaching. It's a fit if you want to work on high-scale infrastructure problems in a fast-moving environment where your back-end work has direct business consequence.
