Job summary

TokenBrickLabs, a Seattle-based blockchain studio, seeks a Tech Lead to own the technical direction for a squad delivering issuance, identity, and operator products. You’ll still write code, guide architecture, and unblock ICs while ensuring high-quality delivery.

You’ll mentor engineers, drive design reviews, and manage risks across contracts, APIs, and workflows, reporting to Engineering Managers. This is a full-time role in a fast-moving, security-conscious environment.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering experience.
• Track record leading work across more than one engineer.
• Depth in at least two: TypeScript/Node, Solidity/smart contracts, cloud backends, or frontend systems.
• Excellent written communication; explain designs to engineers, product, and counsel.
• Experience shipping in fintech, infrastructure, or high-stakes domains.

Responsibilities

• Set technical direction for a squad: architecture, sequencing, and the production quality bar.
• Design and implement high-risk paths — contracts, APIs, identity, or operator workflows.
• Lead design reviews, RFCs, and code reviews to keep ICs moving.
• Break tokenization work into auditable, testable slices.
• Partner with Product, Architecture, and Engineering Managers on scope, risk, and launch readiness.
• Mentor engineers through pairing, feedback, and incident reviews.
• Own incident response for your domain and drive durable fixes.

Job description

TokenBrickLabs is a Seattle-based blockchain studio that designs, audits, and ships production Real-World Asset tokenization — issuance, identity, custody, and settlement rails for funds, fintechs, and operators. We hire globally and build for institutional security, compliance, and day-two operations, not slide-deck prototypes.

As a Tech Lead, you will own technical direction for a squad shipping issuance, identity, and operator products. You still write code — architecture, critical paths, reviews — while unblocking ICs, tightening the design, and keeping delivery honest. This is a full-time role.

Reports to

At TokenBrickLabs, we are engineering the institutional standard for Real-World Asset tokenization. Our mission is to ship platforms centered on security and compliance, requiring a commitment to technical excellence that extends beyond simply delivering code. As a global organization, we set a high bar for those driven to do their best work alongside world-class peers.We value engineers who treat development as a craft and own the outcome from concept to deployment. We expect our teams to bring structure to ambiguity and shape the frameworks that support our studio. We refuse to compromise on quality and seek problem solvers who thrive on high-impact technical challenges.

The Team: Product & Protocol Squads

Tech Leads at TokenBrickLabs sit inside the squad, not above it. You translate tokenization constraints into sequenced engineering work, hold the review bar, and stay close enough to Solidity, TypeScript, and APIs to make the call when architecture and product disagree. People management sits with Engineering Managers; you own the technical outcome.

What you’ll do

• Set technical direction for a squad: architecture, sequencing, and the quality bar for production issuances.
• Design and implement high-risk paths — contracts, APIs, identity, or operator workflows — yourself when the risk warrants it.
• Lead design reviews, RFCs, and code review so ICs ship without waiting on a bottleneck.
• Break ambiguous tokenization work into slices that can be audited, tested, and operated.
• Partner with Product, Architecture, and Engineering Managers on scope, risk, and launch readiness.
• Mentor engineers through pairing, written feedback, and incident reviews.
• Own technical incident response for your domain and drive durable fixes, not heroics.

What we’re looking for

• 6+ years of software engineering, including time as a senior or staff IC on production systems.
• Track record leading technical work across more than one engineer without formal people management.
• Depth in at least two of: TypeScript/Node, Solidity/smart contracts, cloud backends, or frontend systems.
• Excellent written communication; you can explain a design to engineers, product, and counsel.
• Experience shipping in fintech, infrastructure, or similarly high-stakes domains.

Nice to have

• Prior Tech Lead or Staff Engineer role on a blockchain, custody, or payments platform.
• Familiarity with ERC-3643 / T-REX, permissioned tokens, or RWA issuance stacks.
• Experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or audit-driven engineering practices.
• Opportunity to work at the bleeding edge of Web3 / crypto / DeFi.
• Flexible working conditions.
• Offer token/equity packages.
• Sponsored global events and travel.
• Annual global 2-week offsite.
• Signing and performance bonuses.
• Competitive remuneration (attractive salary, benefits, and incentives, including tokens and bonus opportunities).
