About the job
Responsibilities
- Work with Business Development to understand partner needs
- Translate requirements into clear technical approaches
- Identify constraints, de-risk integrations, and define success criteria
- Design end-to-end architectures with partners
- Lead the design of integrations with key partners
- Define system architecture across APIs, smart contracts, oracles, and custody solutions
- Architect around Morpho's core stack: wallets/custody, KYC & access controls, compliance, liquidation tooling, monitoring, and operations
- Run architecture workshops to align on user journeys, liquidity strategies, and go-to-market
- Produce clear, actionable deliverables: architecture diagrams, specs, and integration playbooks
- Coordinate across internal teams (protocol, product, infra, legal, risk, growth) to unblock launches
- Work closely with partner engineering teams to bring solutions to production
- Turn field learnings into better product, tooling, and documentation
- Identify recurring patterns and contribute to reference architectures and best practices
- Keep up with DeFi infrastructure, Ethereum, and regulatory developments
- Communicate effectively across teams and time zones
Must-have Experience & Skills
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex systems and delivering cross-functionally
- Significant experience working with external partners (solutions architecture, integration engineering, or technical pre-sales), ideally in high-stakes or enterprise environments
- Experience in DeFi: deep understanding of at least one major DeFi protocol, or a solid grasp of lending and borrowing mechanisms
- Strong architecture skills: able to design and reason about end-to-end systems spanning smart contracts, APIs/SDKs, custody/wallet infrastructure, and compliance constraints
- Hands-on technical profile: working knowledge of Solidity; comfortable reading, reviewing, and debugging smart contracts and integration flows; proficient with modern programming languages and AI coding tools
- Experience designing or implementing integrations across multiple systems (APIs, smart contracts, custody providers, etc.), ideally in production environments
- Excellent written communication: able to produce clear specs, integration guides, and partner-facing documentation
- High ownership and autonomy: able to take ambiguous partner projects from early scoping to production without constant oversight
Nice-to-have Experience & Skills
- Experience integrating with exchanges, wallets, custody providers, fintechs, or institutional asset managers (security reviews, audits, SLAs, compliance constraints)
- Familiarity with permissioned DeFi patterns (allowlists, wrappers/controllers, role separation, timelocks) and partner requirements around custody and control
- Strong intuition for liquidity and go-to-market mechanics (liquidity provisioning, market makers, incentives) that impact integration success
- Experience defining scalable integration processes (handoffs, templates, playbooks) and improving documentation as a product
