The ideal candidate is a self-driven engineering lead with strong ownership instincts and a bias for action, equally comfortable in EVM and non-EVM environments, who brings substantial expertise across blockchain applications and infrastructure and thrives in fast-paced settings. ### **Key Responsibilities** - Build and lead a high-caliber engineering team delivering on-chain programs and backend services. - Architect and ship smart contracts across EVM and non-EVM chains (Solana and others) with a high bar for precision and safety. - Mentor engineers and set the technical direction for the issuance stack. - Drive code and design reviews, raising the quality bar across the team. - Prepare codebases for third-party audits with comprehensive tests, invariants, AI-assisted review, and fuzz testing harnesses. ### **Qualifications** - 7+ years of software engineering experience shipping production DeFi and backend systems. - 2+ years leading engineering teams, or a clear track record suggesting you'll pick it up quickly. - Proven history of deploying and maintaining complex, high-precision on-chain systems in production. - Production experience writing backend systems in Rust. - Solid Solidity and EVM development experience, combined with strong familiarity with the SPL Token program, Token-2022, and Associated Token Accounts. - Experience with cross-chain messaging and bridging protocols — Wormhole NTT, LayerZero, Hyperlane, or Chainlink CCIP. ### **Nice to Have** - Prior experience at a high-growth digital assets company or DeFi protocol — ideally one handling stablecoin issuance, lending, or RWAs. - Experience with security tooling and audit workflows for EVM and non-EVM chains (Solana and others). - AI-curious and fluent — uses modern AI tooling to move faster and ship better. - Open-source contributions to on-chain programs, SDKs, or developer tooling. - Degree in computer science or a related field. ### **Compensation** - Competitive compensation (base salary with equity/token grant) commensurate with experience. ### **Benefits** - **Global team and flexibility:** Join a truly global team with the flexibility to work remotely or from one of our hubs in NYC or Berlin. - **Health and wellness:** Enjoy comprehensive healthcare insurance coverage as well as a wellbeing allowance and gym membership to support your physical and mental health. - **Customizable IT setup:** Tailor your workspace with access to top-notch IT equipment. - **Professional development:** Benefit from an annual development budget to enhance your skills and grow professionally, including opportunities to participate in conferences and on-site company events worldwide.
