Responsibilities

Lead and grow your team. Own hiring, onboarding, performance management, and the professional development of your engineers. Run regular 1:1s, support career growth, and build a high-performing, engaged team.
Drive technical delivery. Own the team’s roadmap and PI planning commitments. Ensure on-time, high-quality delivery across the team’s service portfolio and ongoing architectural initiatives while coordinating across dependencies with Coin Integration, Ledger Enterprise, Ledger Live, and Infrastructure teams.
Maintain operational excellence. Own SLIs/SLOs for team services. Lead incident response posture, on-call culture, and observability standards for production-critical systems.
Architect for scale and reliability. Partner with tech leads and staff engineers to drive sound technical decisions on a polyglot stack (TypeScript, Scala) handling high throughput, multi-chain complexity, and strict reliability requirements. Review ADRs and ensure architectural coherence.
Champion engineering practices. Drive strong standards on CI/CD, testing (including end-to-end on testnets), code review quality, technical debt management, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Contribute to org-level initiatives. Participate in cross-BU architectural working groups, PI planning, and engineering efficiency programs.

Requirements

Proven experience (3+ years) managing backend engineering teams in a product-driven, distributed environment
Strong technical background in backend systems. You can credibly challenge architectural decisions, review design documents, and unblock engineers on hard technical problems
Experience operating services at scale and familiarity with high-availability architectures, event-driven systems, and observability tooling (RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Flink, NATS, Datadog or equivalent)
Comfortable with polyglot stacks. The team works across TypeScript and Scala; you don’t need to be an expert in both but need enough depth to lead effectively
Track record of navigating complex multi-team dependencies and influencing across organizational boundaries without direct authority
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
Bonus points: exposure to blockchain or crypto infrastructure (account indexing, transaction lifecycle, UTXO vs account-based models), and a genuine interest in the Web3 space

We Offer

Competitive salary range: $1,000 - $1,000,000 per year
Comprehensive benefits and wellness programs
Opportunity to work in a dynamic, innovative, and global environment
Collaborative culture with a diverse team of over 50 nationalities
Commitment to professional growth and development
