Director of Engineering, Assets & Issuance

About the role

As our Director of Engineering, you will build and lead the engineering organization responsible for Assets & Issuance, shaping the architecture, growing the team and setting the direction as we scale. As our Director of Engineering, you will lead teams of engineers, directly and through engineering managers, responsible for Assets & Issuance. This is a leadership role for someone who has built money-moving infrastructure in the past and can shape how systems get designed and built. You won't be writing production code day to day, but you will go deep on architecture, reliability and hard technical decisions alongside your teams. You'll tackle hard problems in issuing and moving assets across blockchains, customers and jurisdictions, working with strong engineers and limited existing structure. You'll be expected to set technical direction, build the team and deliver.

Success looks like a team that ships quickly without compromising correctness, systems that are resilient and well understood, a strong bench of engineering managers and senior ICs, and a trusted partnership with Security, Compliance and Product that accelerates delivery rather than slowing it down.

What you’ll do

• Own the technical strategy, roadmap and delivery for Assets & Issuance, balancing speed to market with the reliability and controls our regulated, institutional customers expect.

• Stay close to the code and the architecture: review designs, pressure-test tradeoffs, and lead by example in hard technical decisions.

• Build and grow the team as needed: hire senior engineers and managers, develop emerging leaders, and shape an engineering culture centered on ownership, craft and bias to action.
