Job description

As a Senior Engineer, you will be a hands-on contributor, operating at the intersection of blockchain protocol mechanics and institutional custody systems. You will work closely with lead engineers and security experts to ensure all blockchain interactions are secure, reliable, observable, and production-ready. Your contributions will establish strong foundations for scalable digital-asset custody and tokenization platforms, ensuring predictable, observable, and resilient integrations.

  • Integrate institutional systems with existing Layer-1 blockchains, evaluating and extending capabilities to meet custody, scalability, and resiliency needs.
  • Deeply understand chain-level mechanics such as transaction lifecycle, finality, forks, reorgs, and event propagation to ensure reliable integrations under stress and production loads.
  • Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including indexers, event processors, block explorers, observability tooling, chain data services, APIs, and interoperability components.
  • Ensure blockchain data pipelines are accurate, performant, and auditable, supporting operational tooling for troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Contribute to wallet architecture and development, focusing on blockchain-facing wallet services, transaction creation, signing workflows, and submission pipelines.
  • Integrate with custody key management systems (MPC, HSMs, signing services), ensuring clean separation of protocol logic, security controls, and business rules.
  • Partner closely with custody and security engineers to validate end-to-end transaction flows and ensure wallet and transaction pipelines behave correctly across normal and edge-case chain conditions.
  • Share responsibility for custody-related blockchain workflows, including on-chain transaction execution, event monitoring, reconciliation, and chain-specific failure handling and recovery patterns.
  • Help define safe patterns for interacting with smart contracts and token standards from custody platforms, ensuring workflows align with custody policies, approvals, and risk controls.
  • Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, testable, and observable blockchain services, leveraging AI tools to accelerate protocol analysis, code development, testing, documentation, and knowledge sharing while maintaining engineering rigor., * Wallet and transaction pipelines behave correctly across normal and edge-case chain conditions.
  • Custody systems interact with blockchains safely and consistently.
  • Incidents related to blockchain dependencies are well understood and quickly diagnosed.
