About the Team & Role

At Moomoo, we’re not just launching products—we’re evolving a digital‑first ecosystem that redefines investing for a new generation. Our Crypto Operations team is the backbone behind our innovative crypto offerings, responsible for building and scaling operational processes from the ground up. We’re seeking a forward‑thinking Crypto Wallet Operations Specialist who will:

• Take ownership of critical custody and wallet operational functions as we advance from a simple product launch to a broader, more dynamic product suite.
• Leverage data‑driven insights and Python‑based tool/bot development to optimize wallet movements, settlement reliability, and on‑chain operational health.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Security, Product, Compliance, and Finance to ensure our wallet operations are robust, secure, and customer‑focused.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to combine strategic insight with technical expertise, helping us shape a future‑proof custody and wallet operational infrastructure.

Office Location

Jersey City, NJ or Dallas, TX

This role must be based on the office locations specified in the job description, in line with our in‑office work philosophy. Remote work is not available for this position. For more details about our in‑office approach and expectations, please reach out to the recruiter.

What You’ll Do

Build & Scale Processes

• Design, implement, and continuously improve custody and wallet operations (hot/warm/cold), including transaction authorization policies, withdrawal controls, and address/wallet lifecycle management.
• Establish runbooks for deposits/withdrawals, internal transfers, rebalancing, emergency procedures (stuck tx, fee spikes, chain halts), and weekend/holiday settlements.
• Document and refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistency, auditability, and clarity as the team expands.

Settlements, Reconciliations & Treasury

• Run end‑of‑day (EOD) trade/cash/coin reconciliations; investigate and resolve breaks across venues, books & records, and custody ledgers with crisp root‑cause analysis.
• Coordinate wallet liquidity and treasury positioning to ensure the right asset is in the right place at the right time for settlement cut‑offs; manage buffer sizing and thresholds.
• Partner with internal teams to support month‑end close, evidence gathering, and audit‑ready documentation.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the technical subject‑matter partner for wallet operations across Product, Legal/Compliance, Security, Engineering, and Finance.
• Communicate operational insights and optimization opportunities in a clear, actionable manner (short memos, dashboards, incident summaries).
• Participate in cross‑departmental projects that align with our mission to democratize digital investing, including chain integrations and custody feature rollouts.

Risk Management & Compliance

• Ensure wallet procedures meet regulatory standards and mitigate risks (price bands/fat‑finger, velocity caps, maker‑checker approvals, whitelist‑only flows for high‑risk routes).
• Maintain robust controls and quality assurance processes (access reviews, change management, policy evidence, chain‑specific guardrails).
• Support audits and regulator requests with up‑to‑date documentation, diagrams, and control matrices; contribute to blameless post‑mortems and durable fixes.

What You Bring

Educational Background & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years preferred (2+ considered) in operations, custody/wallet operations, data analytics, or engineering—ideally in crypto or financial infrastructure.
• Hands‑on familiarity with cryptocurrency markets, on‑chain transactions (confirmations/reorgs, fee dynamics), and wallet concepts.

Technical & Analytical Expertise

• Strong SQL for joins, grouping, and validation; comfort working with REST/WebSocket APIs and schedulers.
• Ability to turn operational metrics into dashboards and clear narratives that inform decisions.

Core Competencies

• Entrepreneurial: Self‑starter who builds from the ground up and iterates from v1 to vN.
• Communication: Translates complex technical processes for non‑technical stakeholders; crisp incident write‑ups.
• Initiative: Anticipates challenges, automates repetitive work, and drives continuous improvement.
• Critical/Strategic Thinking: Connects custody controls to broader business goals and customer trust.
• Analytical Thinking: Uses data to prioritize, measure, and learn.
• Technical Proficiency: Comfortable in a technical environment focused on automation and tool development.
• Security Mindset: Integrity‑first judgment with least‑privilege and auditable changes.

Bonus Points

• Experience scaling wallet operations in a fast‑paced environment.
• Knowledge of cryptographic and custody concepts (e.g., MPC thresholds/quorum, evidence capture, approvals).
• Proficiency with observability/visualization tools (Looker, Grafana) and basic Git workflows.

What We Offer

• Innovative Culture: A forward‑thinking, digital‑first approach to redefining investing.
• Growth Opportunities: Your ideas directly shape the future of finance at Moomoo.
• Competitive Benefits: Comprehensive benefits, competitive compensation, and equity opportunities.
• Collaborative Environment: Work across Product, Engineering, Security, Compliance, and Finance with open communication and continuous learning.
