Who We Are
Yieldschool is a crypto investment consultancy serving high-net-worth individuals.
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.
Our Mission
To be the global standard for onchain investment strategies.
We implement non-custodial frameworks across the full scope of the onchain economy, empowering investors to grow, protect, and optimize their crypto portfolios.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Fractional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to architect and lead the next evolution of Yieldschool’s non-custodial asset management systems.
You’ll design and scale secure infrastructure for portfolio execution, wallet connectivity, and cross-chain integration, building the backbone of how clients interact with the on-chain economy.

Deliver secure, scalable on-chain infrastructure supporting $10M+ monthly throughput
Architect systems that achieve 99.99% uptime and institutional-grade reliability
Lead architecture for Solidity and Rust codebases (both required)
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
$75–$200/hr (≈ $4.5K–$12K/month · 15 hrs/week) depending on experience and scope.
