Job description

We are a Bitcoin Layer 2 project dedicated to unlocking the utility of the world’s premier digital asset. As we scale our ecosystem, we need a Finance Lead to serve as the backbone of our fiscal operations. You will bridge the gap between traditional financial rigor and the fast-paced world of Bitcoin-native finance, ensuring our accounting is airtight and our global team is supported by seamless payroll systems.

Your Core Responsibilities

Manage the full-cycle accounting process, including accounts payable/receivable, general ledger maintenance, and month‑end closing for both fiat and BTC‑denominated transactions.

Oversee global crypto‑to‑fiat payroll for a distributed team, managing the complexities of multi‑currency distributions (stablecoins, BTC and local fiat).

Monitor and manage the project’s liquid assets, ensuring secure storage, efficient gas management for on‑chain movements, and timely fiat off‑ramping for operational expenses.

Implement and optimize crypto‑native accounting software (e.g., Cryptio, Bitwave) to automate transaction reconciliation and reporting.

Work with external partners to ensure all financial activities comply with international tax laws and reporting requirements specific to digital asset holdings.

Who You Are

You understand the unique technical and cultural significance of the Bitcoin ecosystem and are excited to build on a Layer 2.

You have an eye for detail and a passion for clean ledgers, especially when dealing with the volatility and complexity of crypto‑to‑fiat conversions.

You can navigate the friction points between traditional banking and the crypto industry, finding reliable solutions for off‑ramping and international transfers.

You are comfortable working in a high‑growth environment where financial processes need to be built and refined from the ground up.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in finance or accounting roles.
• Proven proficiency in crypto accounting tools (e.g., Bitwave, Cryptio, Tres) and traditional platforms (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero).
• Direct experience managing international payroll involving both digital assets and fiat.
• Strong understanding of Bitcoin‑native concepts (UTXOs, Lightning Network, or L2 scaling solutions).
• Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; professional certification (CPA/ACCA) is a plus.
