Senior Software Engineer - Cross-chain Systems

Everclear is the cross-chain clearing and settlement protocol that solves liquidity fragmentation for blockchains and digital assets. Our novel clearing system allows solvers to net flows against each other in their rebalancing operations which improves profitability and helps to expand the intent-based ecosystem.

The first half of 2025 has marked a period of rapid growth for Everclear where 25 networks were added including Solana and Tron. Volume was scaled 100x between January and July, surpassing $500m monthly volume and $2bn cumulative volume. The protocol was integrated by major Defi protocols and solvers including Across, LiFi, Relay, Rhino, Tokka, Exponential, plus many more.

Everclear is now gearing up for more growth as we accelerate chain expansion, roll-out complimentary services for our solver network, and launch with new key partners. We’re now looking for an experienced engineer who is passionate about Defi/interop and excited to help us achieve our mission of becoming the clearing layer for the global financial system.

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer to develop and maintain critical services in a cross-chain intent system. You'll work on sophisticated blockchain infrastructure that handles cross-chain liquidity, settlement, and rebalancing operations across multiple blockchain networks.
