We are looking for a hands-on Head of Technology / Tech Lead to lead engineering across our digital assets product suite. You will work closely 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 will directly contribute 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. Set the technical direction while writing production-quality code, conducting reviews, and building prototypes.
- Own the Technology Stack: Design and maintain the architecture for all digital asset services, including wallet infrastructure, custody integration, payment rails, and exchange functionality. 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. Set high standards for code quality, documentation, CI/CD, and testing practices.
- Deliver Core Crypto Features: Own 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. Lead incident management, observability setup, disaster recovery, and audit support.
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.
- Nice to Have: Experience with custody platforms like Fireblocks, familiarity with regulated environments (SCA, FCA, MiCA), and experience scaling systems for real-time transactions.
Join a dynamic and rapidly expanding company that values and rewards talent, initiative, and creativity. Be a key player at the forefront of the digital assets movement, propelling your career to new heights!
