Youll 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

• 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 ambiguitythis 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 / Python (where relevant)

• Infra: Cloud-native (AWS/GCP) containers CI/CD

• Data & Oracles: On-chain off-chain data pipelines

• Security: Formal audits monitoring alerting
