  • Project and Task Management: Oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of engineering projects, ensuring alignment with the product vision and road map. 
  • Cross-Stack Expertise: dive deep with your team on cross functional technical challenges across backend, contracts, bots, and frontend.
  • Crypto-Native Expertise: Stay ahead of trends in DeFi and the interoperability space.

Requirements

  • 4+ years full-time experience in Engineering at a software or financial services technology organization
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to think creatively and innovate within the constraints of the technology stack.
  • 3+ blockchain-based projects, ideally with some experience leading small teams

  • Salaries for this role range from $130-200k (USD),
  • Will pay in stablecoins or fiat
  • Philosophies for a culture that show we care: Take vacation when you need it, family care, training and development (just to name a few)
  • 100% remote, which means we encourage you to create the work environment that you thrive in
  • At least two team wide offsites a year
