What you’ll do:

• Own end-to-end delivery of complex token and wrapped asset initiatives, from smart contract deployment through API design, SLOs, and production rollout across multiple chains.

• Build and operate the Go services and smart contracts that mint, burn, bridge, and reconcile wrapped assets, ensuring correctness across on-chain and off-chain systems.

• Drive improvements to the asset transformation and migration pipeline, making it dramatically faster and safer to launch, upgrade, and migrate tokens at scale.

• Partner across Trading, Custody, USDC, Compliance, and the broader crypto stack to ship customer- and revenue-impacting work that advances onchain innovation.

• Lead on-call ownership for team services, building observability, runbooks, and operational improvements that keep Tier-0 systems reliable.

• Strengthen team engineering quality by onboarding and coaching junior engineers, contributing to design reviews, and establishing patterns that raise the technical bar.

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering with proficiency in at least one backend language (Go preferred), including designing, building, and operating production backend services at scale.

• Hands-on blockchain experience, either from smart contract development (Solidity/EVM), onchain integrations, or building services that transact onchain.

• Demonstrated experience with distributed systems patterns including APIs, event-driven architectures, data reconciliation, and on-call ownership.

• Track record of owning complex projects with autonomy in fast-moving, multi-chain or multi-system environments.
