About this role

▸about BitGo — company background

BitGo is the leading infrastructure provider of digital asset solutions, delivering custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, and settlement services from regulated cold storage. Since our founding in 2013, we have focused on enabling our clients to securely navigate the digital asset space. With a global presence and multiple Trust companies, BitGo serves thousands of institutions, including many of the industry's top brands, exchanges, and platforms, and millions of retail investors worldwide. As the operational backbone of the digital economy, BitGo handles a significant portion of Bitcoin network transactions and is the largest independent digital asset custodian, and staking provider, in the world. For more information, visit www.bitgo.com.

BitGo spent a decade building the infrastructure the digital asset industry runs on. Custody, settlement, wallets, a national trust bank charter. Rails that institutions trust with hundreds of billions of dollars.

Custody is the operating system. BitGo Labs builds the apps.

We are looking for an engineer who wants to ship more real products in one year than most engineers ship in a career.

What BitGo Labs is

Most corporate innovation labs are where ideas go to be studied. Decks get made. Pilots get piloted. Nothing ever meets a customer.

We built Labs to be the opposite of that. We push out real, live, revenue-generating products, and every one has to clear the same two-part bar:

A value proposition or economics only possible because of crypto. If a normal company could build it on normal rails, it fails the test. We only build things where owning the infrastructure is the unfair advantage.

Only buildable this fast because of AI. Three months from blank page to live product. Not a prototype, not a beta behind a waitlist. Live.

Responsibilities:

The first product is already out in the world, built and launched inside ninety days. More are coming. Some will become businesses. Some will be shut down on schedule, without ceremony, because the numbers said so. Both outcomes are the system working.

You'll be the engineering backbone of a product from its first commit to its first customer, working in a tiny team alongside a senior PM, the Head of Labs, and BitGo's CEO.

There is no separate frontend team, backend team, or infra team waiting to take tickets from you. You are the team. That's not a staffing gap. It's the design: one engineer who owns the whole stack moves faster than five who own slices of it, especially with AI doing the heavy lifting.

A cycle looks like this:

Take a spec that's still warm and make the architecture calls that let it ship in ninety days. Choose boring technology on purpose. The innovation budget is spent on the product, not the stack.

Build the whole thing. Frontend, backend, data, deployment. Integrate BitGo's custody, wallet, stablecoin, and settlement rails where the product needs them, and third-party vendors where buying beats building.
