Position: Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or Founding Protocol Engineer (Builder’s Role)

Who We Are

Siddha Privacy, Inc. is building an interoperability hyperstructure—an unstoppable, permissionless protocol that bridges traditional finance and decentralized blockchain networks. Our mission is to maximize human freedom through advanced code and mathematics, focusing on transforming stuck enterprise debt (invoices, receivables, supplier credit) into on‑chain liquidity. We have closed our pre‑seed and seed rounds backed by some of the most influential investors in the United States.

Our core team is small but incredibly strong, combining proven expertise in DeFi, cryptography, and enterprise finance. We have huge ambitions—aiming to reach unicorn status within 24 months and then pursue an IPO. We believe great ideas are priceless, and we are looking for people who have them—individuals who understand that radical change only happens at the extremes.

The Role

You will have full autonomy over technical operations, shaping how traditional finance integrates seamlessly with blockchain‑based lending. From tokenizing corporate receivables to standing up compliance‑ready smart contracts, you will be the lead architect designing and shipping the platform’s decentralized rails. You’ll work with external blockchain partners, own production deployments, and build a technical team that can deliver programmable, real‑time liquidity on‑chain.

Defining and communicating the technical vision.
Ensuring the platform’s scalability, security, and uptime.
Leading development teams to deliver blockchain solutions.

What We’re Building

MASTERPLAN – an interoperability hyperstructure: an unstoppable, permissionless protocol, mathematically resilient and neutrally credible, independent of any single company or entity.

Our Mission

Maximize human freedom through advanced code and mathematics.

Building for AI Agents

AI agents are rapidly becoming influential "users" capable of reading documentation, negotiating deals, and deploying code autonomously. By designing our technology with structured data, robust metadata, and flexible APIs, we ensure these agents can seamlessly interact with Siddha's platform—maximizing efficiency, compliance, and interoperability in the next evolution of decentralized finance.

Key Responsibilities

Protocol Architecture & Smart Contracts

Design and implement upgradeable smart contracts (Solidity, Foundry) to support tokenized debt, RWA lending logic, and permissioned pools.
Ensure compatibility with multi‑chain solutions (e.g., Layer Zero, Wormhole, Axelar) and orchestrate cross‑chain functionality.
Integrate enterprise finance systems (ERP, accounting) with on‑chain contracts for seamless data flow.

Compliance & On‑Chain Identity

Implement KYC/AML‑compliant capital flows, permissioned liquidity pools, and robust identity layers.
Ensure regulated capital movement across various jurisdictions, embedding compliance into core protocol design.

Platform Scalability & Architecture

Oversee the end‑to‑end architecture of an interoperability hyperstructure, leveraging modular, extensible design.
Tokenize multiple asset classes (e.g., receivables, bonds, treasuries) while maintaining composability with existing DeFi ecosystems.
Deploy AI‑driven workflows to automate testing, compliance checks, cross‑chain deployments, and dynamic risk modeling.

Team & Operations Leadership

Build, mentor, and lead an engineering organization that adopts Agile practices, fosters innovation, and ships solutions rapidly.
Own the entire product life cycle—from prototypes to production, ensuring reliability, scalability, and ongoing protocol upgrades.

Strategic & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

Partner with product and business teams to align protocol features (smart contracts, compliance layers) with user requirements.
Engage with the broader DeFi ecosystem—forming key partnerships, driving co‑development initiatives, and evangelizing our hyperstructure.

Required Qualifications

Deep Blockchain & Smart Contract Expertise

Proven track record with Solidity and on‑chain lending frameworks; ideally contributed to protocols such as Goldfinch, Clearpool, Centrifuge, Maple, etc.
Comfortable writing lending logic (issuance, liquidation, dynamic LTV),…
