- We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President, Application Development Manager – US to join our Digital Assets platform team. This role is in New York city & Pittsburgh.
- Mission of the Role
- Lead the engineering organization responsible for building and maintaining resilient, high-throughput financial systems supporting institutional workflows.
- Drive architecture and execution of platforms that integrate traditional settlement, custody, and ledgering with emerging digital-asset technologies.
- Ensure reliability, performance, and regulatory compliance across all systems, with a focus on operational excellence and production stability.
- Build the bridge between on-chain and off-chain worlds, enabling scalable hybrid architectures that support smart contracts, blockchain event flows, and traditional financial system controls.
- Develop and mentor engineering talent, reinforcing a culture of ownership, velocity, technical rigor, and modern SDLC practice.
-
The ideal candidate has deep experience running high-availability financial applications, understands post-trade workflows (with preference for settlement & clearing), and brings strong engineering leadership. Experience with blockchain, smart contracts, or digital asset infrastructure is a major plus—but we will train the right leader who shows the ability to learn and architect across on-chain and off-chain domains.
In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:
- Lead and mentor a high-performing Agile pod of 4–5 engineers, fostering delivery excellence, collaboration, and engineering best practices.
- Architect and build Java-based microservices (Java 17+, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA/Hibernate) deployed on Kubernetes with a focus on performance, scalability, and enterprise-grade security.
- Design and implement REST APIs with resilience patterns and async messaging; apply enterprise design patterns (CQRS, Saga, Event Sourcing) for robust, scalable solutions.
- Integrate off-chain services with Ethereum smart contracts (Solidity) and Web3, ensuring secure and compliant interactions across on-chain and off-chain systems.
- Own Oracle database schema design, SQL/PLSQL optimization, partitioning, and ensuring transaction consistency and data integrity.
- Establish and mature CI/CD automation (Jenkins, GitLab Pipelines) with strong quality gates (SonarQube, static analysis) and enforce coding standards.
- Lead test strategy and automation across unit, integration, contract, and API testing (JUnit, Mockito, TestNG, REST Assured, Cucumber framework) and embed into regression pipelines
- Implement and operationalize observability practices (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure reliability, proactive monitoring, and rapid incident response.
- Partner closely with product managers, architects, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver compliant, resilient digital asset solutions.
-
Drive adherence to regulatory and risk controls (e.g., AML, KYC, travel rule) in solution design and delivery.
To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
- Expertise in secure software development and cryptography; partner with cryptographers to help build a highly secure and resilient crypto and tokenized assets custody solution.
- Proficiency in secure coding practices (C/C++, Go, Rust) for cryptographic components; experience delivering code resilient to side‑channel and related attacks.
- Experience using or auditing cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, MPC‑specific frameworks) and familiarity with hardware security features (Intel SGX, HSMs), including Trusted Execution Environments and remote attestation.
- Strong threat modeling; perform crypto‑focused code reviews and design tests to identify vulnerabilities (e.g., man‑in‑the‑middle risks in MPC rounds, malicious client applications).
- Practical exposure to cryptographic protocols (implementing or auditing key exchange/signature schemes) and awareness of common pitfalls (insufficient randomness, error handling leaks).
- Integration with blockchain nodes/APIs; understanding of transaction formats (Bitcoin UTXOs, Ethereum RLP); ability to parse, create, and broadcast transactions across multiple networks.
- Knowledge of secure storage and databases (encrypted key shares, audit logs) and strong networking/concurrency fundamentals (sockets, RPC frameworks) to orchestrate communication between signing parties.
- Familiarity with cloud security and containerization best practices to avoid misconfigurations and support secure deployments.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field. - Advanced degree or relevant certifications in Software Engineering or Project Management is preferred.
- Typically, 6-10 years of experience in application development management or a related field; securities/financial services experience is a plus.
