Backend Engineer - New Grad

D3 is building the world’s first purpose-built blockchain for Domain Fi — bringing domain tokenization and DeFi primitives to a massive, rapidly growing $350B+ real-world asset class. We’re revolutionizing how domain names are owned, traded, and leveraged in the digital economy.

This is a hybrid role in Los Angeles where you’ll help build the next generation of backend systems that power our Web2/Web3 domain registrar and marketplaces. As a Backend Engineer (Entry Level), you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to design and implement backend services, learn modern web and blockchain technologies, and contribute to real products that bridge traditional and decentralized internet infrastructure.

This role is a great fit for recent graduates or early-career engineers who want to grow quickly in a fast‑paced startup environment.

• Work with the product and engineering teams to understand requirements and turn them into backend features.
• Help design, implement, and maintain backend services that power our registrar platform and domain marketplace.
• Contribute to backend systems that connect with blockchain protocols.
• Assist in building payment integrations that support both traditional and crypto payments.
• Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews.
• Debug, fix, and improve existing codebases with mentorship from senior engineers.
• Stay curious and learn about new tools, frameworks, and best practices in web and blockchain development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 0–2 years of professional experience in backend development (internships, projects, or open‑source contributions count).
• Familiarity with at least one backend programming language (e.g., JavaScript/Node.js, Python, or similar).
• Basic knowledge of databases such as MySQL or Postgre
  
  SQL.
• Understanding of version control (Git) and collaborative development.
• Problem‑solving mindset, eagerness to learn, and ability to work in a team.
• Interest in Web3/blockchain technologies is a plus, but not required—you’ll learn here!

• Familiarity with frameworks like NestJS or Graph
  
  QL.
• Previous projects or coursework involving blockchain, distributed systems, or domain registries.
