Who this role is best for

Geared toward candidates with deep TradFi and digital asset systems experience comfortable with high-stakes client-facing architecture decisions.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with extensive experience in building and scaling TradFi systems and digital asset platforms end to end
    — “Proven track record building and scaling TradFi systems at meaningful scale”
  • Individuals who have architected full digital asset platforms, not just isolated components
    — “Experience architecting a full digital asset platform (custody, settlement, tokenization, trading), not just a single component”
  • Candidates who can transition from technical depth to high-level client executive communication
    — “Fluent from a whiteboard session with engineers to a C-suite briefing”

Things to consider

  • The role requires making high-stakes design decisions with limited guidance
    — “make the hard architectural calls when there is no obvious right answer”
  • Candidates must be ready to engage in hands-on code and design reviews
    — “review designs and code, prototype where it de-risks a decision”

How to stand out

  • Highlight end-to-end digital asset platform experience in your resume and interviews
    — “Experience architecting a full digital asset platform (custody, settlement, tokenization, trading)”
  • Demonstrate fluency in tokenization mechanics and how they align with institutional needs
    — “True fluency in tokenization — able to explain and design how it works mechanically”
  • Showcase your hands-on technical depth with specific examples of architecture leadership

Who You Are:

The Solutions Architect is the specialist who has actually built and scaled TradFi systems, and who can carry that hard-won architectural judgment into the design of digital asset platforms. This is not a generalist solutions-architect role — it requires true fluency in the concepts of system design and architecture as they apply to both worlds: how a custody ledger is structured, how settlement systems are architected for resilience and finality, and how those same principles translate (or don't) when assets move on-chain.

You understand tokenization at a mechanical level — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled — and you can architect a full digital asset platform end to end: custody, tokenization, settlement, and trading, not just one component of it.

This is a client-facing role. You will sit across the table from Tier-1 institutional engineers and executives, defend design decisions under real scrutiny, and make the hard architectural calls when there is no obvious right answer.

What You’ll Do:

Own the technical architecture for custom build engagements spanning custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading infrastructure

Design and articulate how a full digital asset platform is architected end to end — from asset issuance and tokenization through custody, settlement, trading, and reporting

Bring deep TradFi systems experience into digital asset architecture decisions — identifying where legacy patterns transfer directly and where they need to be reinvented

Serve as the primary technical and architectural point of contact for Tier-1 institutional stakeholders, running technical discovery and defending design decisions with client engineers and executives

Partner with the Product partners to translate requirements into sound architecture, and with engineering to set the technical bar and make hard design calls

Explain and defend tokenization mechanics — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled on-chain versus off-chain — to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Stay hands-on: review designs and code, prototype where it de-risks a decision, and remain credible with the engineers doing the build

Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI tools to improve team performance, decision-making, and output quality

What We’re Looking For:

Proven track record building and scaling TradFi systems at meaningful scale — at a bank, exchange, custodian, or major financial infrastructure provider

Deep, applied understanding of system design and architecture principles as they apply to both TradFi and digital asset systems

True fluency in tokenization — able to explain and design how it works mechanically, and how it fits into a broader institutional platform

Experience architecting a full digital asset platform (custody, settlement, tokenization, trading), not just a single component

Specialist-level technical depth; comfortable being the senior-most technical voice in the room on architecture

Client-facing experience with Tier-1 institutions, fluent from a whiteboard session with engineers to a C-suite briefing

Founder-grade agency and low ego — comfortable making hard design calls in ambiguous, high-stakes settings

Bonus Points: 

Hands-on experience building blockchain infrastructure or tokenization platforms

Prior architecture leadership at a custodian, exchange, clearinghouse, or Tier-1 bank

Hands-on production LLM or AI agent experience

What We Offer:

Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus

Hybrid/Flexible Working Arrangements 

Flexible Time Off (paid)

3% 401(k) company contribution

Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and other dependents

Generous paid Parental Leave

Competitive family planning benefits for US employees 

Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry

Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues

Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts/lunches 

Employee Resource Groups

Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace
