Summary

We are hiring a Senior Engineer, Blockchain Platforms to help build and integrate the blockchain infrastructure layer that underpins our digital asset custody and tokenization platforms.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Layer-1 blockchain integration, core blockchain infrastructure components, wallet engineering, and custody-related blockchain workflows. You will work in close partnership with Crypto Custody Lead Engineers and Crypto Security Engineers to ensure blockchain interactions are secure, reliable, observable, and production ready.
Operating at the intersection of blockchain protocol mechanics and institutional custody systems, you will establish strong foundations for scalable digital-asset custody platforms. Success in this role means blockchain integrations are predictable, wallet pipelines behave correctly across edge-case chain conditions, and custody systems interact with blockchains safely and consistently.
 
Responsibilities
  • Layer-1 Blockchain Integration: Integrate internal systems with existing Layer-1 blockchains. Evaluate, build, or extend capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs while managing chain-level mechanics (e.g., finality, forks, reorgs).
  • Infrastructure Development: Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including indexers, event processors, block explorers, observability tooling, and cross-chain integration components.
  • Wallet Architecture: Build blockchain-facing wallet services, transaction creation and signing pipelines, and integrate with custody key management systems (MPC, HSMs, signing services).
  • Workflow Management: Manage custody-related blockchain workflows, including on-chain transaction execution, event monitoring, reconciliation, and chain-specific failure handling and recovery.
  • Engineering Rigor: Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable and testable services. Leverage GenAI tools to accelerate code development, testing, and documentation without sacrificing safety or correctness.
Minimum qualifications:
  • 7 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Experience building or integrating blockchain or distributed ledger systems.
  • Experience building backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components.
  • Programming experience in one or more general-purpose languages, including Go, Java, Rust, or Python.
  • Experience with Layer-1 blockchain protocols and transaction lifecycles.
 
Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience with blockchain indexers, explorers, or chain analytics systems.
  • Experience with wallet architecture and blockchain signing workflows.
  • Experience working with crypto custody platforms or security-sensitive financial systems.
  • Experience debugging in distributed, asynchronous environments.
  • Experience using Generative AI or agentic AI tooling to support complex software development and protocol analysis.
