## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own the architecture of wallet infrastructure for custody, key management, transaction signing, authorization, and recovery.
- Design flexible signing infrastructure supporting MPC, HSMs, secure enclaves, TEEs, and emerging cryptographic approaches.
- Build and evolve wallet systems across EOAs, smart contract wallets, account abstraction, ERC-4337, embedded wallets, and multichain infrastructure.
- Define boundaries between cryptography and wallet orchestration, including keys, signing authority, transaction policies, permissions, and authorization.
- Architect key management systems for key generation, distributed key generation, storage, rotation, backup, recovery, and hardware-backed isolation.
- Build highly available signing and transaction infrastructure for high-value customer assets with reliable developer APIs.
- Set technical direction for wallet security, threat modeling, policy engines, secrets management, account recovery, authentication, and programmable authorization.
- Make build-versus-buy decisions across cryptography, custody, wallet, and security infrastructure.

## Requirements
- Deep expertise in wallet, custody, cryptography, or security infrastructure, with strong distributed systems and architecture fundamentals.
- Experience designing or building production wallet, custody, signing, or key management systems securing high-value assets.
- Strong knowledge of applied cryptography, including MPC, threshold cryptography, threshold signatures, distributed key generation, ECDSA, EdDSA, or secure multiparty computation.
- Experience with HSMs, secure enclaves, TEEs, confidential computing, hardware-backed key isolation, or similar security-critical infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of modern wallet and blockchain account architecture, including EOAs, smart contract wallets, account abstraction, ERC-4337, transaction orchestration, and multichain systems.
- Experience designing authentication, authorization, policy, permissions, recovery, or secrets-management systems where security and correctness are critical.
- Track record of making architectural decisions in complex distributed systems while balancing security, reliability, developer experience, and extensibility.
- Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs and own architecture from first principles through production.

## Compensation and Benefits
- Salary: $220,000–$270,000 annually.
- Unlimited time off, with a minimum of 10 days taken annually.
- Flexible work arrangements and a home-office setup stipend.
