## About the Role

* 12+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years operating at a staff-plus level designing and scaling high-throughput transaction systems requiring strong auditability, idempotency, and financial precision.
 * Hands-on experience with one or more blockchain protocols at the node or protocol level (e.g., EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, L2s), with demonstrated depth in staking infrastructure, bridging protocols, or tokenization systems.
 * Proven track record of leading large-scale, multi-team architectural initiatives from design through production at a company operating critical infrastructure at global scale.
 * Experience applying AI or agent-based automation to reduce operational toil in platform or infrastructure contexts, with measurable results in efficiency or reliability gains.
 * Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

## Description

* Define and drive the multi-quarter technical strategy for Blockchain Platform, spanning nodes, wallets, indexing, and asset lifecycle, to support new chain integrations, new products, and significant growth in on-chain transaction volume.
 * Architect and evolve core platform infrastructure, including nodes, indexers, wallet systems, and liquidity primitives, for high availability, low latency, cost efficiency, and security at global scale.
 * Lead end-to-end design and rollout of large, cross-team architectural initiatives (e.g., wallet stack rearchitecture, indexing stack redesign, asset identifier system), breaking high ambiguity into clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
 * Drive engineering standards for correctness, security, reliability, testing, and observability across all crypto asset operations, including transaction finality, key management, reconciliation, and failure-mode handling.
 * Own data-driven reliability improvements by using observability signals (transaction success rates, node reliability, indexing latency, on-call burden) to identify structural platform gaps and lead systematic remediation.
 * Represent Blockchain Platform in executive and cross-org forums, communicating trade-offs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy-in for high-impact technical bets in areas like Yield and Stablecoins.
