Files H-1B transfers
3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- You won't be writing production code day to day, but you will go deep on architecture, reliability and hard technical decisions alongside your teams.
- You'll tackle hard problems in issuing and moving assets across blockchains, customers and jurisdictions, working with strong engineers and limited existing structure.
- Our engineers work on distributed systems and blockchain infrastructure where reliability, security and correctness are non-negotiable, and they work in close partnership with Product, Security and Compliance.
Responsibilities
- Stay close to the code and the architecture: review designs, pressure-test tradeoffs, and lead by example in hard technical decisions.
- Build and grow the team as needed: hire senior engineers and managers, develop emerging leaders, and shape an engineering culture centered on ownership, craft and bias to action.
- Lead through incidents: set the standard for on-call, incident response, root-cause analysis and follow-through, and drive down operational risk over time.
- Partner with Product, Security, Compliance and other control functions to design systems that are secure and auditable by construction, with controls built into the software rather than layered on afterward.
- Drive the architecture of systems such as wallets and key management, ledgers, settlement and blockchain integrations, depending on team charter.
- Build an engineering organization that uses AI and modern tools to fundamentally improve how software is built, tested and operated, with just enough process to scale without slowing down.
- A track record of building teams, not just inheriting them, with experience leading a sizable engineering organization, including managers, and growing it as the business scaled.
