We are looking for a hands-on Head of Technology / Tech Lead to lead engineering across our digital assets product suite. In this role, you will closely collaborate with the Digital Assets Product Director to deliver reliable and scalable crypto infrastructure, supporting everything from on-chain wallet flows to fiat conversions and trading execution. This is not a purely managerial role; you’ll be expected to contribute directly to building the platform, especially in the early stages. You will define technical architecture, own key systems, lead by example in code and technical decision-making, and help grow a world-class engineering team.
What You’ll Do:
- Be Hands-On from Day One: Contribute to the development of key digital assets infrastructure and services, setting the technical direction while also writing production-quality code and conducting reviews.
- Own the Technology Stack: Design and maintain the architecture for all digital asset services, including wallet infrastructure, custody integration, and payment rails. Ensure uptime, system integrity, and scalability as user and transaction volume grows.
- Lead the Engineering Team: Build, manage, and mentor an engineering team focused on digital assets products, setting high standards for code quality, documentation, CI/CD, and testing practices.
- Deliver Core Crypto Features: Own the engineering delivery for wallet funding, crypto deposits/withdrawals, real-time asset conversions, staking, and custody-related operations.
- Infrastructure, Security & Ops: Ensure secure architecture for key management, asset segregation, and blockchain interactions. Implement operational controls and monitoring to meet regulatory and internal risk expectations.
What You’ll Bring:
-
Required:
- 8+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years in a leadership role.
- Proven success building and scaling backend platforms, ideally in crypto, fintech, or trading.
- Hands-on expertise with wallet management, custody solutions, key handling, and crypto protocols.
- Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), security best practices, and DevOps workflows.
- Strong communication skills to align business, product, and tech priorities clearly.
-
Nice to Have:
- Experience working with Fireblocks or similar custody platforms.
- Familiarity with regulated environments (SCA, FCA, MiCA).
- Experience scaling systems that handle real-time transactions, settlement, and on-chain operations.
Be a key player at the forefront of the digital assets movement, propelling your career to new heights! Join a dynamic and rapidly expanding company that values and rewards talent, initiative, and creativity. Work alongside one of the most brilliant teams in the industry.
