Engineering Manager, API Integrations

About the Role

Zero Hash is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with a passion for digital assets and blockchain products to lead the development of our AUTH product. We’re looking for a true technologist with a love of programming and a drive for technical excellence. We believe that the best managers are technologists first with a product mindset who seek to make a larger impact in their organizations.

What is Auth

ZH integrates with other exchange APIs to do actions on behalf of our customers. A lot of APIs are not public, so this person will need to work directly with the exchanges on APIs that we can integrate to. Our goal is to get to hundreds of connections and each connection would be maintained by a different partner org with its own engineering team.

This EM would be responsible for a lot of the back and forth required to align on an API that is able to adhere to our AUTH product. Some of these partner orgs will probably have to develop custom for us.

Note this is a fully remote role, but the ideal candidate will be based in San Francisco/Bay Area
