What You'll Do

• Design and develop scalable, secure, and reliable blockchain infrastructure that handles real users and real money
• Own the architecture and full lifecycle of blockchain transactions, from initiation and signing to execution, confirmation, reconciliation, and recovery
• Build and evolve wallet, custody, key management, and transaction infrastructure across on-chain and off-chain systems
• Design integrations across different blockchain networks, architectures, consensus models, and transaction models
• Develop and integrate smart contracts where applicable, including EVM-compatible ecosystems
• Build production-grade solutions for DeFi use cases such as staking, liquidity pools, DEX integrations, and other on-chain financial workflows
• Take end-to-end ownership of complex blockchain systems, including security, resiliency, observability, incident response, and operational excellence
• Drive architectural decisions and technical direction by balancing security, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and development velocity
• Identify technical risks early and design systems that remain safe and recoverable under failure scenarios
• Collaborate closely with product, business, security, and engineering teams to turn ambiguous requirements into robust technical solutions
• Lead technical discussions, design reviews, and architectural decisions within the team
• Mentor engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, feedback, and knowledge sharing
• Leverage modern engineering tools, including AI-assisted development, while maintaining high standards for code quality, security, and engineering rigor

What You'll Bring

• Strong software engineering experience with a proven track record of designing and operating complex production systems
• Deep hands-on experience building and operating production-grade blockchain infrastructure
• Strong understanding of blockchain architecture across different ecosystems, including consensus mechanisms, transaction models, finality, reorgs, fees, and network-specific behavior
• Experience working with multiple blockchain networks and protocol models rather than a single ecosystem or virtual machine
• Strong understanding of wallet architecture, custody models, key management, transaction signing, and blockchain transaction lifecycles
• Hands-on experience with HSMs and secure key management infrastructure
• Experience with MPC-based custody systems or custody platforms such as Fireblocks is a strong plus
• Strong understanding of cryptographic signing workflows, key security, access controls, and security boundaries in production systems
• Experience developing, deploying, and operating smart contracts; Solidity experience is a strong plus
• Experience with DeFi protocols or use cases such as staking, liquidity pools, DEXs, or similar on-chain financial systems
• Strong understanding of both on-chain and off-chain architectures and the trade-offs between them
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems, asynchronous processing, idempotency, failure recovery, and data consistency
• Experience operating critical production systems with monitoring, alerting, observability, incident response, and post-incident improvement practices
• Ability to make sound architectural decisions and reason clearly about trade-offs across security, scalability, reliability, operational complexity, and delivery speed
• Ability to independently navigate high-ambiguity problems and drive them from initial concept through production
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and responsibility for production outcomes
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical decisions across teams
• Willingness to mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar of the team
• Ability to use AI-assisted development tools effectively while maintaining sound engineering judgment and security standards

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
