Mesh connects 300+ exchanges and wallets to companies like Pay Pal, Revolut, and Kalshi so their users can move crypto and money seamlessly. As Head of Off-Chain Engineering, you'll own the exchange and fiat integrations that power those flows. You'll set the strategy, build the org, and stay close enough to the code to make reliability our competitive advantage.

• Own off-chain engineering across Exchanges (US/EU) and Fiat (India): reliability, velocity, roadmap, and org.
• Define the off-chain strategy and present it to the exec team; translate it into clear charters, metrics, and plans.
• Stay hands-on: review designs, dig into code, and lead from the front in major incidents.
• Define and hit SLOs for connection and transfer success across the world's largest exchanges.
• Build the integration platform, observability, and testing harnesses that make new exchanges fast to add and existing ones hard to break.
• Hire, develop, and lead managers and engineers across time zones.
• Build direct technical relationships with exchange and payments partners.
• Partner with Product, Partnerships, and Customer Success to put client impact first.

• 12+ years in engineering, including several years at Director level or above leading multiple teams and managers.
• Deep crypto and payments context: you've built or run exchange, brokerage, custody, or payments systems that move real money.
• Very technical and still hands-on. You design for third-party failure and can go deep with senior engineers.
• Equally comfortable in a design review and in front of the exec team or board presenting strategy and trade-offs.
• You run teams with operational rigor; metrics, on-call, and postmortems are how you lead, not overhead.
• AI-native, with a track record of changing how teams build with AI.
• Bonus: experience at a crypto exchange, payments processor, trading firm, or fintech aggregator.

At Mesh, you're not stepping into a typical role—you're joining a rocket ship in mid-liftoff. You'll tackle complex, meaningful problems that actually move an industry forward, working alongside a sharp, motivated team that moves quickly, collaborates deeply, and expects everyone to operate with ownership. This is the kind of place where you'll see your work ship fast, make real impact, and be able to point to something and say, "I built that."

You'll grow fast, level up your skills, and get a front-row seat to how a high-growth company scales from the inside, with competitive comp, solid benefits, and room to stretch your craft all coming standard. If you're energized by building, learning, and shaping…
