Build the future of secure finance. Protect millions. Own the identity layer of Web
3.

We’re assembling a foundational team to redefine identity, authentication, and security across a global financial platform operating at the intersection of crypto, payments, and regulated infrastructure.

This is not just another engineering role, this is your chance to own and architect mission‑critical systems that secure millions of users managing digital and traditional assets worldwide.

Responsibilities
  • Architect and scale next‑gen identity & authentication systems (passkeys, Web Authn, MFA, biometrics)
  • Build secure‑by‑design infrastructure that balances UX with strict regulatory requirements
  • Design systems for fraud detection, compliance, and forensic visibility
  • Own integrations with identity providers, security vendors, and fintech ecosystems
  • Shape authentication strategies in regulated environments (SCA, KYC/AML, PSD2)
  • Play a key role in building and mentoring a high‑performance team
Requirements
  • Engineers from crypto, fintech, or payments backgrounds who’ve worked at scale
  • Strong backend expertise in Node.js (Type Script/JavaScript) or Golang
  • Deep understanding of OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, Web Authn, FIDO2
  • Experience designing secure, auditable systems in regulated environments
  • Exposure to fraud prevention, risk‑based authentication, and compliance frameworks
  • A builder mindset—you’re excited to own systems end‑to‑end and influence strategy
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Own one of the most critical layers in modern financial systems: identity
  • Work on cutting‑edge authentication tech (passkeys, adaptive auth, biometrics)
  • Operate in a high‑scale, multi‑asset environment (crypto + fiat + beyond)
  • Be part of a company pushing on‑chain finance into the mainstream
  • Opportunity to build a team from the ground up

If you care about security, scale, and shaping the future of financial access—this is your role.
