About the Role:
We’re building a next-generation Real World Assets (RWA) DeFi protocol that brings institutional-grade assets on-chain—securely, compliantly, and at scale. You’ll be the technical owner of the protocol, leading a team of ~5 engineers across smart contracts, backend infrastructure, and integrations. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will architect, code, review, and ship. If you enjoy designing systems where capital, risk, and code collide, this role is for you.
What You Can Expect To Work On:
Technical Leadership
Own the end-to-end technical architecture of the RWA protocol across on-chain and off-chain systems
Lead, mentor, and unblock a small, high-impact team (~5 engineers)
Set and uphold engineering standards for code quality, security, testing, and documentation
Make pragmatic build vs. buy decisions across protocols, infrastructure, and vendors
Protocol & Smart Contracts
Design and implement production-grade smart contracts for:
Tokenized real-world assets (e.g. private credit, receivables, loans)
Capital deployment, redemptions, and yield distribution
Risk controls, liquidation logic, and circuit breakers
Ensure contracts are audit-ready, secure, and battle-tested
Work closely with auditors before mainnet deployments
Backend & Infrastructure
Architect off-chain systems supporting:
Asset lifecycle management
Oracle ingestion and verification
Compliance, reporting, and risk monitoring
Integrate with wallets, custodians, stablecoins, and on-chain liquidity venues
Design for reliability, observability, and graceful failure
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner directly with founders on product direction and technical roadmap
Translate legal and compliance constraints into robust, enforceable code
Collaborate with product and design to deliver developer- and user-friendly flows
What You Need to Succeed:
7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in crypto / DeFi
Strong hands-on experience with Solidity (or equivalent EVM languages)
Deep understanding of:
DeFi primitives (lending, AMMs, liquidations, yield mechanics)
Smart contract security patterns and common exploits
Proven experience leading engineers and shipping complex systems
Comfort operating in ambiguity—this is a build-from-zero role
Nice-to-Have (Strong Plus)
Experience with RWA, TradFi, or fintech systems (credit, payments, custody)
Familiarity with:
Oracles (e.g. Chainlink-style architectures
Account abstraction, permissioned DeFi, or compliance-aware protocols
Experience running or participating in protocol audits
Background in system design for high-value financial infrastructure
Tech Stack (Indicative)
Smart Contracts: Solidity, Foundry / Hardhat
Backend: TypeScript / Node.js, Python (where relevant)
Infra: Cloud-native (AWS/GCP), containers, CI/CD
Data & Oracles: On-chain + off-chain data pipelines
Security: Formal audits, monitoring, alerting
Why Join Us
Work on real money, real assets, real impact—not testnet vaporware
Significant ownership and influence over architecture and roadmap
Competitive compensation + meaningful upside
Build at the intersection of DeFi, private credit, and institutional finance
