Descrição da vaga

We are an experienced founding team on a mission to redefine financial infrastructure through the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). With decades of collective experience across capital markets, finance, blockchain, and product innovation, we are backed by a world-class advisory board and supported by major partners across the ecosystem.

We are building the next-generation digital asset infrastructure for the issuance, management, and trading of tokenized real-world assets. Our modular system moves beyond the limitations of today's tooling, embedding compliance, automation, and lifecycle logic directly into the asset. We’ve already secured early institutional support and world-class advisory and are onboarding capital markets clients onto the platform.

We’re looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join as a Co-Founder and lead the end-to-end development of the technical architecture. This is a rare opportunity to shape a category-defining product and lay the technical foundation for the future of programmable finance.

Note : Please only apply if you fulfil the main requirements, have the technical capabilities to work hands on deck as lead engineer and be willing to go the extra mile as a co-founder together with a highly dynamic founding team.

Responsibilities

Lead and manage the entire technical product development process, including hands-on development of core components.
Design and architect secure, modular, and upgradeable smart contract system leveraging the Diamond Standard (ERC-2535).
Build a programmable automation framework based on the Trigger–Condition–Action (TCA) model, integrating both on- and off-chain data.
Architect and maintain a robust Asset Registry to track asset metadata, execution logs, and compliance events on-chain.
Implement compliance logic directly in asset and function layers using standards like ERC-3643 and OnchainID.
Enable seamless cross-chain portability of tokens via protocols such as CCIP or Axelar.
Work with partners for 3rd party integrations and support in research for additional integrations to advance the tech stack and service functionalities.
Hire and mentor a high-performing engineering team and establish best-in-class development practices.
Coordinate technical audits, manage QA, and ensure rigorous security standards.
Collaborate with clients, advisors, and product stakeholders to refine use cases and translate them into scalable systems.
Support developer tooling (SDK, CLI, APIs) and contribute to documentation and technical materials for partners and investors.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cryptography, or a related field.

Proven experience in a CTO or senior technical leadership role in a blockchain or fintech startup.

At least 8 years of software development experience, ideally full-stack.

Hands-on smart contract development experience with Solidity is a must.

Deep understanding of blockchain architecture, token standards, and protocol design.

Strong communication skills with the ability to engage with both internal and external stakeholders.

Bonus : experience building rule-based automation systems (TCA), cross-chain interoperability, or tokenized financial products.

Attractive equity package and token allocation reflecting your role as a co-founder.

Competitive salary package following our current funding round.

Influence the direction, culture, and architecture of a high-impact company from the ground up.

Remote-first work model with flexibility to access co-working space in your preferred location.

Opportunity to build meaningful infrastructure in one of the fastest growing sectors in finance.

20 days annual vacation.

About the Project

A full-stack digital asset infrastructure purpose-built for real-world assets (RWAs), structured across infrastructure, middleware, and application layers.

At the infrastructure level, we’re building on a custom Avalanche-based Layer 1 optimized for high-throughput for regulatory compliant asset issuance and trading. This base layer enables low-latency automation, cross-chain messaging, and validator configurations suitable for institutional environments.

The middleware layer is built on a modular and upgradeable smart contract framework using the ERC-2535 (Diamond Standard). Each asset token embeds asset-specific or reusable lifecycle logic, allowing for actions like interest payments, redemptions, or compliance checks to execute automatically. The logic is governed by a Trigger–Condition–Action (TCA) model that supports time-based, event-based, and condition-based execution, leveraging both on-chain events and external data sources (e.g. Chainlink, APIs).Compliance is enforced at both the token and function level using ERC-3643 and OnchainID, ensuring only verified participants can interact with assets. All executions, triggers, and asset metadata are recorded on an on-chain registry, enabling full auditability, integration with analytics, and compatibility with intelligent servicing agents.

The application layer includes a tokenization, digital asset management and investor platform, SDK, API and external service integration.
