Job description

We are seeking a Senior Engineer, Blockchain Platforms to help build and integrate the blockchain infrastructure layer that underpins our organization's digital asset custody and tokenization platforms. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Layer-1 blockchain integration, core blockchain infrastructure components, wallet engineering, and custody-related blockchain workflows. The engineer will operate at the intersection of blockchain protocol mechanics and institutional custody systems, working effectively across custody, security, and platform teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate company systems with existing Layer-1 blockchains.
• Evaluate and, where appropriate, contribute to building or extending Layer-1 capabilities to meet custody, scalability, or resiliency needs.
• Understand chain-level mechanics such as transaction lifecycle, finality, forks, reorgs, and event propagation.
• Design and build core blockchain infrastructure services, including indexers, event processors, block explorers, and chain data services.
• Contribute to wallet architecture and development, including blockchain-facing wallet services and transaction creation and signing workflows.
• Share responsibility for custody-related blockchain workflows, including on-chain transaction execution and event monitoring.
• Help define safe patterns for interacting with smart contracts and token standards from custody platforms.
• Apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, testable, and observable blockchain services.
• Collaborate effectively across custody, security, and platform teams to support blockchain infrastructure and custody-related capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating blockchain or distributed ledger systems.
• Strong understanding of Layer-1 blockchain protocols and transaction lifecycles.
• Experience building backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Go, Java, Rust, or Python.
• Ability to work effectively across custody, security, and platform teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with blockchain indexers, explorers, or chain analytics systems.
• Familiarity with wallet architecture and blockchain signing workflows.
• Exposure to crypto custody platforms or security-sensitive financial systems.
• Strong debugging instincts in distributed, asynchronous environments.
• Experience using AI tooling to support complex software development.

What Success Looks Like

• Blockchain integrations are predictable, observable, and resilient.
• Wallet and transaction pipelines behave correctly across normal and edge-case chain conditions.
• Custody systems interact with blockchains safely and consistently.
• Incidents related to blockchain dependencies are well understood and quickly diagnosed.
