Responsibilities

  • Develop the engineers on the team. Both tracks should build expertise that compounds - no dead-end paths.
  • Own the platform
  • you own the call within that.
  • Make the build/buy/reuse calls. Decide what gets generalized into shared platform capability versus what stays bespoke to a single engagement.
  • Own production reliability for institutional-grade systems running in production.
  • Coordinate across DIS, client-facing teams, and engagement leads so the right engineers are on the right work at the right time, and commitments to clients are sequenced against platform reality.
  • Major direction is set with the Head of Engineering, Platform and Edge; you own the call within that.
  • Deliver on engagements
  • Once an engagement is greenlit, own the team's execution against it - staffing, sequencing, technical quality, and what gets shipped.
  • Build Dream Teams.

Requirements

  • A track record leading platform, infrastructure, or distributed-systems engineering teams in production-critical environments - financial infrastructure, custody, exchanges, payments, or comparable high-stakes domains.
  • Experience leading small, senior teams.
  • You know how to get leverage from a handful of strong engineers without adding headcount as the answer to every problem.
  • You can hold the whole picture in your head and keep it moving without bureaucracy.
  • Experience operating in or alongside a forward-deployed, embedded, or solutions-engineering model.
  • Comfort being customer-facing when the engagement calls for it.
  • The platform thesis only works if you can tell the difference
  • Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise.

Nice to have

  • Blockchain / protocol experience - staking, validators, MPC, custody, DeFi protocol integration, tokenization infrastructure.
  • Experience with MPC, HSMs, threshold signing, or secure enclaves.
  • Background working with tier-1 financial institutions (banks, asset managers, custodians) as engineering counterparts.

Compensation

  • $200,000 - $260,000 USD

Benefits

  • Step into client conversations at technical inflection points when the engagement benefits from engineering leadership at the table.

  • This is a player-coach role at the leadership end of the spectrum.
  • You'll spend most of your time on people, strategy, operations, and execution - but you should be the kind of engineering leader who still reads the architecture diagrams carefully, pushes back on the right design decisions, and can hold a technical conversation with senior engineers at tier-1 clients.
  • You'll report directly to the Head of Engineering, Platform and Edge, who directs which engagements the team takes on and shapes the partnerships at the top.
