Job description

About Blox Space

Blox Space works at the heart of the Bitcoin economy, partnering with a network of more than 70 companies across fintech, cybersecurity and Freedom Technologies worldwide, all building the infrastructure, products and services behind the digital economy, data protection and the future of money.

We help connect talent with the Bitcoin ecosystem, acting as a Talent Bridge between ambitious professionals and the companies shaping it. Right now we're working with one of our partner companies hire a Solutions Architect, and if you think you're the right profile, we'd love to meet you.

The Role

The company is one of the foundational names in Bitcoin infrastructure, founded in 2014 and today a market leader in Bitcoin security and Layer-2 technologies, serving financial institutions with custody, tokenization and treasury products. This is a senior architect role inside the in-house development team, building an own product from scratch: a middle layer where different systems talk to each other, with heavy integration of external systems and APIs at its core. You design the architecture, holding both the latest architectural principles and the hard realities of financial-industry integration.

We're not looking for the perfect CV, we're looking for the right mind, and this is a genuinely hard profile to find: it takes real finance experience, because you don't improvise this kind of system.

The responsibilities of a Solutions Architect here can range from designing the architecture of a new middleware product end to end, to integrating diverse systems and APIs into one coherent layer, to choosing architectural patterns and the right modern tech, to ensuring the platform is scalable and robust enough for financial-grade use, working closely with the in-house engineering team.

The skills that make the difference

• Senior solutions or software architect who has built from scratch: you've owned architecture end to end, not just contributed to it.


• Deep systems integration: wiring disparate systems and APIs into a coherent middle layer is your bread and butter.


• Financial-industry experience is close to non-negotiable: this domain doesn't forgive improvisation, however strong the architect.


• Fluent in modern architectural principles and the latest tech in the space.

Working arrangements

This role is based in Switzerland and can sit in Zurich or Lugano. Candidates should already be based in Switzerland or hold a European visa.Working arrangements are flexible and defined together with the reference team.
