• Lead custody integrations and migrations while maintaining security and transaction continuity
• Develop, deploy, and maintain production-grade smart contracts and DEX integrations
• Build multi-chain transaction infrastructure across EVM-compatible networks, Solana, and other non-EVM ecosystems
• Build and operate RPC integrations, blockchain nodes, indexers, reorg-aware chain listeners, and on-chain data pipelines
• Own the transaction lifecycle from policy checks and signing through confirmation, reconciliation, and recovery
• Establish strong practices for observability, incident response, operational security, and failure recovery
• Work closely with product, security, and engineering teams to deliver reliable financial infrastructure

What You'll Bring

• Strong software engineering experience building and operating critical production systems, ideally in financial services, digital assets, brokerage, or exchange environments
• Hands-on experience with RPC integrations, node operations, indexers, chain listeners, wallets, custody systems, and transaction signing
