Location: Goa, India

Remote: Yes (async-first, 5 years experience working remotely)

Willing to relocate: Yes(after a remote trial period)

Technologies: Python, Go, TypeScript, relational/nosql databases, smart contracts, AWS/GCP, Terraform, Docker, Prometheus/Grafana, Airflow, MCP, Cursor/Claude Code, Langchain, Pipecat

Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rz_DqdTB4pYJg3FgEnxQgoxmRPv...

Email: sgshubham@gmail.com

Technologies: Python, Go, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, NoSQL databases, Solidity, Aptos Move, AWS, GCP, Terraform, Docker, Prometheus/Grafana, EVM, MCP, Airflow, Cursor/Claude code

10+ years building backend services, data pipelines, and on-chain infrastructure.

Most recently founding engineer at Moar Market (leveraged farming on Aptos, ~$7.5M peak TVL) — owned the full stack: Move contracts, indexers, off-chain liquidation engine, DB design, and infra end-to-end.

Before that, tech lead at Hubble Exchange — built a custom EVM-forked L1 for orderbook perps that scaled to 50,000 TPS and 30M+ transactions, including the matching engine, indexing stack, and an SDK for market makers. Earlier: backend at Zomato (Hyperpure greenfield) and Delhivery (WMS, marketplace integrations with Amazon/Paytm).

Recent side project: Deploy Terminal — an MCP-based trading terminal exposing Hyperliquid execution to LLM agents (Claude Code, openclaw etc.) with non-custodial wallet signing via Privy TEE.

Looking for: senior/lead engineer roles. I'm interested in web3, fintech, quant infra, and agentic solutions. Comfortable owning systems end-to-end; prefer small teams shipping fast over large orgs.

Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to do a trial via part time / fixed duration project, that would be even better for a start. My last 3 full time roles started like that.

Yes, down for me in India. Can't send and receive emails. It just fails silently without any errors.

Request the posters of remote jobs to also mention the working hours. I live in India, can I work from 9 to 6 Indian time, or do I have to work according to US time zone?

Serious question - do blind people play video games? How does it work?

Sounds like a typical "about us" page. I find most of the intro pages very ambiguous as what they do. They're just studded with industrial terms(buzzwords). My reaction is always - "looks amazing, but I don't know anything about them"

Perhaps that's the intent here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> They manage to deliver in rural India where there are no proper addresses and infrastructure.

'They' here means the transportation, not the marketplace. It comes down to the transportation to make sense of improper addresses and provide wide coverage.

Also, Ekart has a very limited serviceability and flipkart has to rely on third party logistics.

Delhi is not really an intellectual city. Also, forget Delhi if you're a girl.
