job summary:
We are hiring a Senior Engineer, Blockchain Platforms to help build and integrate the blockchain infrastructure layer that underpins Cllient's 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. The role works in close partnership with Crypto Custody Lead Engineers and Crypto Security Engineers to ensure blockchain interactions are secure, reliable, observable, and production?ready. This engineer operates at the intersection of blockchain protocol mechanics and institutional custody systems.
What This Engineer Will Do
Layer?1 Blockchain Integration & Platforms
Integrate Cllient's systems with existing Layer?1 blockchains (e.g., Ethereum?based or other enterprise?relevant L1s).
Evaluate and, where appropriate, contribute to building or extending Layer?1 capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs.
Understand chain?level mechanics such as transaction lifecycle, finality, forks, reorgs, and event propagation.
Ensure blockchain integrations are reliable under stress conditions and production loads.
Blockchain Infrastructure Components
Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including:
Indexers and event processors
Block explorers and observability tooling
Chain data services and APIs
Interoperability and cross?chain integration components
Ensure blockchain data pipelines are accurate, performant, and auditable.
Support operational tooling required for troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response.
Wallet Architecture & Development
Contribute to wallet architecture and development, including:
Blockchain?facing wallet services
Transaction creation, signing workflows, and submission pipelines
Integration with custody key management systems (MPC, HSMs, signing services)
Ensure wallet implementations cleanly separate protocol logic, security controls, and business rules.
Partner closely with custody and security engineers to validate end?to?end transaction flows.
Custody?Related Blockchain Workflows
Share responsibility for custody?related blockchain workflows, including:
On?chain transaction execution
Event monitoring and reconciliation
Chain?specific failure handling and recovery patterns
Help define safe patterns for interacting with smart contracts and token standards from custody platforms.
Ensure blockchain workflows align with custody policies, approvals, and risk controls.
Engineering Rigor & AI?Augmented Development
Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, testable, and observable blockchain services.
Leverage GenAI and agentic AI tools to accelerate:
Protocol analysis
Code development and testing
Documentation and knowledge sharing
Maintain engineering rigor-speed without sacrificing correctness or safety.
