Blockchain Core Developer - Golang, Ethereum

Remote Fullstack/Frontend Engineer - Crypto Wallet Start-up

We’re a digital entertainment company creating engaging online platforms people love. Since 2021, we’ve been building something different. Our brands include MetaWin, WOW Vegas, BetZoo Media, Hit.com and Rolla with more to come.

With teams operating from London, Malta, Gibraltar & Miami launching in 2025 each platform is designed to offer unique, engaging, and innovative digital experiences. From immersive betting platforms to exciting casino games and interactive online entertainment, our brands deliver cutting-edge technology and user-focused design.

Arena prioritises the use of innovative technology, decentralised where possible and builds with an AI first mindset to create the highest quality end product for our users. Not challenged by legacy systems, we are blue sky thinkers changing the landscape of digital entertainment.

Overview

We’re looking for an AI-native, product-minded Full Stack Blockchain Engineer to join our core team. You’ll be building and shipping blockchain-powered products end-to-end — from smart contracts and backend infra through to frontend UX. Our work spans gaming, DeFi and other emerging Web3 categories.

This is a hands-on role for someone who lives and breathes Web3, ships fast, and embraces AI-powered development workflows to stay ahead. We’re especially excited about builders who are early in their careers but already have real on-chain projects under their belt and a hunger to grow fast.

Responsibilities

  • Build dApps end-to-end: design and deploy secure, gas-efficient smart contracts; wire up backend infrastructure; and deliver clean frontends that hide blockchain complexity
  • Ship products, not just code: collaborate on design, UX, and incentive mechanics, contributing to product decisions as much as technical implementation
  • Leverage AI daily: use the latest tools to accelerate development and broaden problem-solving approaches
  • Work with blockchain data: build and maintain indexing infrastructure, APIs, and real-time data pipelines
  • Experiment and innovate: stay curious with new standards, chains, and techniques — from cross-chain deployments to tokenomics design
  • Contribute to open source and community: represent the team at hackathons and conferences, and share your work with the ecosystem

Candidate Profile

  • 1–4 years of blockchain/Web3 development with at least one meaningful on-chain deployment (professional, side project, or hackathon)
  • Solid foundation in Solidity and TypeScript, with ability to deliver complete products, not just isolated code
  • AI-native: daily use of modern coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, etc.)
  • Product sense: proven ability to think about usability and user experience, not just code correctness
  • Previous experience at a blue-chip protocol or well-known project highly valued
  • Hackathon experience or open source contributions a strong plus
  • Strong English communication skills for async collaboration

Technical Stack

Core: Solidity, with deep understanding of the EVM, modern standards (ERC20, ERC721, EIP-4337, etc) and tooling (Foundry, Hardhat)

Frontend: TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js and modern React, NextJS, etc

Web3 libraries: viem, wagmi, Privy, Dynamic, Across SDK

Infra: The Graph, Ponder, custom indexers, REST/GraphQL APIs, Cross Chain Bridges, RPCs

Bonus: Rust (Solana/SVM) and Anchor, Move (Aptos/Sui), MEV, ZK

Location

Remote

Async-first culture with overlapping working hours where possible

What We Value

Growth mindset

Curiosity, adaptability, and eagerness to learn

Strong in code, sharp on product

A track record of building — whether shipped protocols, hackathon projects, or ambitious side hustles

Arena Entertainment is an Equal Opportunities Employer.

Why Blockchain Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Blockchain was once a niche technology, associated mostly with Bitcoin & cryptocurrency trading. In the UK today, it’s become a mainstream enabler of decentralised finance, supply chain traceability, identity management, health data sharing & even cultural products like NFTs. As blockchain matures, careers in the sector are expanding beyond developers & cryptographers. A blockchain project doesn’t just need people who can write smart contracts or design consensus mechanisms. It needs lawyers who understand regulation, ethicists who anticipate harm, psychologists who study user behaviour, linguists who simplify complex communication, and designers who build usable, trustworthy interfaces. In this article, we’ll explore why UK blockchain careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design shape the sector, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive.

Blockchain Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Blockchain Department

Blockchain is no longer just about cryptocurrencies. In the UK, financial services, supply chain management, healthcare, gaming, and even government are exploring blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) for secure, transparent, and efficient systems. As adoption grows, organisations must build dedicated blockchain teams. But who does what in a blockchain department? How do roles differ between developers, architects, cryptographers, and compliance officers? And what do UK employers actually look for when hiring blockchain professionals? This guide explains the structure of a modern blockchain team, breaks down each role, discusses collaboration across the product lifecycle, and highlights UK career prospects and salaries.
