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
