You'll own the technical architecture and roadmap for a distributed MPC custody platform built for institutional scale.
You'll work closely with Product, Security, Business Development, and executive stakeholders to align technology with customer and regulatory needs.
As a hands‑on leader, you'll shape engineering practices, manage critical incidents, and develop high‑performing engineering leaders.
The role offers the opportunity to influence a highly secure platform operating at the intersection of Web3 and institutional finance.

Accountabilities

• Lead multiple engineering teams delivering custody, transaction authorization, key management, wallet infrastructure, and blockchain integration capabilities.
• Own the architecture, technical strategy, and roadmap for a distributed MPC custody platform, including disaster recovery, governance, transaction policies, and security controls.
• Partner with Product, Security, Business Development, and executive leadership to prioritize engineering investments based on customer, regulatory, security, and business requirements.
• Support multiple product deployment models, including managed‑platform and licensed‑software environments.
