About the Role:

We're building a next-generation Real World Assets (RWA) DeFi protocol that brings institutional-grade assets on-chain—securely, compliantly, and at scale. You'll 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

  • Architect off-chain systems supporting:
  • Asset lifecycle management
  • Oracle ingestion and verification
  • Compliance, reporting, and risk monitoring
  • Integrate with wallets, custodians, stablecoins, and on-chain liquidity venues
  • Design for reliability, observability, and graceful failure

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner directly with founders on product direction and technical roadmap
  • Translate legal and compliance constraints into robust, enforceable code
  • Collaborate with product and design to deliver developer- and user-friendly flows

What You Need to Succeed:

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in crypto / DeFi
  • Strong hands-on experience with Solidity (or equivalent EVM languages)
  • Deep understanding of:
  • 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 ambiguity—this 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 / Node.js, Python (where relevant)
  • Infra: Cloud-native (AWS/GCP), containers, CI/CD
  • Data & Oracles: On-chain + off-chain data pipelines
  • Security: Formal audits, monitoring, alerting

Why Join Us

  • Work on real money, real assets, real impact—not testnet vaporware
  • Significant ownership and influence over architecture and roadmap
  • Competitive compensation + meaningful upside
  • Build at the intersection of DeFi, private credit, and institutional finance

Benefits and Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • We Listen. Your voice, ideas, and suggestions matters to us, as we continuously evolve
  • Our People. You'll be working with a diverse, multicultural, international, talented, fun, supportive, and innovative people and teams. We are people you can be proud to work with
  • On The Edge of Innovation. Working on the latest technological, social and financial trends that is web3 and blockchain
  • Flat Organisation. Our team is a community, we work together as a team from all levels in true decentralised spirit
