• Strong background in software engineering and system design.
• Proven experience working on blockchain, cryptocurrency, or Web3 products.
• Ability to lead both technical discussions and people-related decisions.
• Experience building and scaling engineering teams in fast-moving environments.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving and decision-making.

Nice to Have

• Work on innovative blockchain and AI products with global clients and partners.
• Help shape the future direction of our engineering organization.
• Lead talented teams solving challenging technical problems.
