Our culture shapes our way of working and gets us where we want to be.

• Be Selective To Be Effective.
• Be Highly Aligned, Loosely Coupled.
• Disagree Transparently.
• Build Dream Teams.

Who You Are:

The Solutions Architect is the specialist who has actually built and scaled TradFi systems, and who can carry that hard‑won architectural judgment into the design of digital asset platforms. This is not a generalist solutions‑architect role — it requires true fluency in the concepts of system design and architecture as they apply to both worlds: how a custody ledger is structured, how settlement systems are architected for resilience and finality, and how those same principles translate (or don’t) when assets move on‑chain.

You understand tokenization at a mechanical level — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled — and you can architect a full digital asset platform end to end: custody, tokenization, settlement, and trading, not just one component of it.

This is a client‑facing role. You will sit across the table from Tier‑1 institutional engineers and executives, defend design decisions under real scrutiny, and make the hard architectural calls when there is no obvious right answer.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the technical architecture for custom build engagements spanning custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading infrastructure
• Design and articulate how a full digital asset platform is architected end to end — from asset issuance and tokenization through custody, settlement, trading, and reporting
• Bring deep TradFi systems experience into digital asset architecture decisions — identifying where legacy patterns transfer directly and where they need to be reinvented
• Serve as the primary technical and architectural point of contact for Tier‑1 institutional stakeholders, running technical discovery and defending design decisions with client engineers and executives
• Partner with the Product partners to translate requirements into sound architecture, and with engineering to set the technical bar and make hard design calls
• Explain and defend tokenization mechanics — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled on‑chain versus off‑chain — to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Stay hands‑on: review designs and code, prototype where it de‑risks a decision, and remain credible with the engineers doing the build
• Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI tools to improve team performance, decision‑making, and output quality

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven track record building and scaling TradFi systems at meaningful scale — at a bank, exchange, custodian, or major financial infrastructure provider
• Deep, applied understanding of system design and architecture principles as they apply to both TradFi and digital asset systems
• True fluency in tokenization — able to explain and design how it works mechanically, and how it fits into a broader institutional platform
• Experience architecting a full digital asset platform (custody, settlement, tokenization, trading), not just a single component
• Specialist‑level technical depth; comfortable being the senior‑most technical voice in the room on architecture
• Client‑facing experience with Tier‑1 institutions, fluent from a whiteboard session with engineers to a C‑suite briefing
• Founder‑grade agency and low ego — comfortable making hard design calls in ambiguous, high‑stakes settings

Bonus Points:

• Hands‑on experience building blockchain infrastructure or tokenization platforms
• Prior architecture leadership at a custodian, exchange, clearinghouse, or Tier‑1 bank
• Hands‑on production LLM or AI agent experience

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus
• Hybrid/Flexible Working Arrangements
• Flexible Time Off (paid)
• 3% 401(k) company contribution
• Company‑paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and other dependents
• Competitive family planning benefits for US employees
• Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry
• Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues
• Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts/lunches
• Employee Resource Groups
• Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace

The base salary ranges included below will be commensurate with candidate experience, expertise and local market. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise. At Galaxy, we maintain a total compensation philosophy which consists of a competitive base salary, annual bonus, and equity incentives.
