Noricum | Senior Backend Engineer, Payments, Ledger & Provable Fairness | REMOTE (2h overlap with US Pacific) | Contract to permanent | $120-160/hr | Start by 14 Sep
I'm the founder of Noricum where we build platforms – currently the money infrastructure, ledger, engine and payment rails behind a pre-launch wagering platform with a Steam skins economy. The games, a cashier and a bet ledger are built and live as a front end, with written specs for the server contract: ledger schema, refusal table, round lifecycle, every game's arithmetic. Processing and licensing are secured. The server does not exist. That is the job. You would own:
- A server-authoritative game engine - seeds, nonces, outcome computation
- A double-entry ledger where balance is derived and no client write can change it
- Server-side enforcement of every limit and refusal
- Payment rails idempotent under duplicated webhooks
- Seed custody and the provably-fair lifecycle
- An affiliate system with referral attribution and commission payouts
Must have shipped: a double-entry ledger or equivalent money system in production, a payment integration including webhook idempotency, auth and sessions you built and operated, and infrastructure you owned end to end. Provably-fair systems, settlement-side gaming or trading infra, or Steam trade automation all stand out.
Email [email protected] with your start date and a few lines on the last money system you shipped - what it guaranteed, and how you knew it held.
