We help investors intelligently capture returns across the full spectrum of permissionless on-chain markets.

In just three years, we’ve achieved $20M in revenue, placing us among the fastest-growing private companies globally. Our culture is disciplined, high-performance, and built to deliver measurable value to every client.

Implement DevOps, audit, and compliance frameworks for high-trust execution

Build repeatable security and penetration-testing processes

Partner with leadership to shape the long-term technical roadmap and product vision

What You Bring

4+ years in software or systems engineering, including 3+ years in technical leadership

Solidity (required) and Rust (required) development experience

Proven track record building and scaling blockchain or cloud-native systems

Deep understanding of wallet infrastructure, smart-contract security, and cross-chain protocols

Mastery of infrastructure automation, DevOps, and secure deployment practices

Crypto-native mindset with uncompromising rigor around reliability and auditability

Who You Are

You’re a strategic technologist who builds for scale, security, and precision.

You think deeply about user trust, communicate clearly, and lead calmly under pressure.

You value high accountability, excellence, and integrity in execution.

Our Culture

We hire for Hunger, Honesty, High Energy, and Humility.

You’ll be joining a disciplined, results-driven team that values direct feedback, ownership, and clarity.

Compensation
