Our team is responsible for the entire custody experience, this includes the management and transferring of coins and NFTs, staking assets, interacting with onchain smart contracts, and much more!

Technical Skills:
  • Understand the principles of various blockchain and how to abstract them into features for our customers
  • Implement participatory features that clients need such as staking, governance, vesting, etc.
  • Develop abstractions for features that scale and apply across all crypto-networks
  • Contribute with and review code across the code base and engineering organization.

    • Complexity and Impact of Work:
  • Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).
  • Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt and bureaucracy.
  • Work on the front lines of the blockchain/crypto movement and SecOps innovation.
  • Ship code that will impact the global economy.

    • Organizational Knowledge:
  • Influence architecture/product roadmap - have a seat at the table.
  • Help scale the team.

    • Communication and Influence:
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with everyone.

    • You may be a fit for this role, if you:
  • Have real world experience building complex distributed systems. We mostly use Go, however languages can be learned. We really care about your engineering skills more than any specific language or framework.
  • Enjoy building resilient services that can handle different volumes of work without manual intervention
  • Genuinely care about code quality and test infrastructure.
  • You feel comfortable diving down the stack and into open source projects to root cause a bug.
  • Prioritize end-user experience and business value over “cool tech.”
  • Have developed “computer science fundamentals”, i.e. concurrency, algorithms, and data structures (Formal CS degree NOT required).
  • Self describe as some combination of the following: creative, humble, ambitious, detail oriented, hard working, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action oriented, and tenacious.

    • Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
  • You have experience with applied cryptography.
  • In your mind the word “crypto” stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency.
  • You read blockchain protocol white papers for fun, and stay up to date with the proliferation of cryptoasset innovations.
  • You have a background in the finance industry.
