We’re building a next-generation Real World Assets (RWA) DeFi protocol that brings institutional-grade assets on-chain—securely, compliantly, and at scale. You’ll be the technical owner of the protocol, leading a team of ~5 engineers across smart contracts, backend infrastructure, and integrations. This is a hands‑on leadership role: you will architect, code, review, and ship. If you enjoy designing systems where capital, risk, and code collide, this role is for you.
- Own the end-to-end technical architecture of the RWA protocol across on-chain and off-chain systems
- Lead, mentor, and unblock a small, high-impact team (~5 engineers)
- Set and uphold engineering standards for code quality, security, testing, and documentation
- Make pragmatic build vs. buy decisions across protocols, infrastructure, and vendors
- Design and implement production-grade smart contracts for:
- Tokenized real-world assets (e.g. private credit, receivables, loans)
- Capital deployment, redemptions, and yield distribution
- Risk controls, liquidation logic, and circuit breakers
- Ensure contracts are audit-ready, secure, and battle-tested
- Work closely with auditors before mainnet deployments
- Architect off-chain systems supporting:
- Asset lifecycle management
- Oracle ingestion and verification
- Compliance, reporting, and risk monitoring
- Integrate with wallets, custodians, stablecoins, and on-chain liquidity venues
- Design for reliability, observability, and graceful failure
- Partner directly with founders on product direction and technical roadmap
- Translate legal and compliance constraints into robust, enforceable code
- Collaborate with product and design to deliver developer- and user-friendly flows
- 7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in crypto / DeFi
- Strong hands‑on experience with Solidity (or equivalent EVM languages)
- Deep understanding of:
- DeFi primitives (lending, AMMs, liquidations, yield mechanics)
- Smart contract security patterns and common exploits
- Proven experience leading engineers and shipping complex systems
- Comfort operating in ambiguity—this is a build-from-zero role
- Experience with RWA, TradFi, or fintech systems (credit, payments, custody)
- Familiarity with:
- Oracles (e.g. Chainlink-style architectures
- Account abstraction, permissioned DeFi, or compliance‑aware protocols
- Experience running or participating in protocol audits
- Background in system design for high-value financial infrastructure
- Smart Contracts: Solidity, Foundry / Hardhat
- Backend: TypeScript / Node.js, Python (where relevant)
- Infra: Cloud-native (AWS/GCP), containers, CI/CD
- Data & Oracles: On-chain + off-chain data pipelines
- Security: Formal audits, monitoring, alerting
- Work on real money, real assets, real impact—not testnet vaporware
- Significant ownership and influence over architecture and roadmap
- Competitive compensation + meaningful upside
- Build at the intersection of DeFi, private credit, and institutional finance
- We Listen. Your voice, ideas, and suggestions matters to us, as we continuously evolve
- Our People. You'll be working with a diverse, multicultural, international, talented, fun, supportive, and innovative people and teams. We are people you can be proud to work with
- On The Edge of Innovation. Working on the latest technological, social and financial trends that is web3 and blockchain
- Flat Organisation. Our team is a community, we work together as a team from all levels in true decentralised spirit
