• Web3 experience is essential — particularly at the protocol or product layer.
• Ability to evaluate and integrate blockchain APIs and protocols into product architecture.
• Deep systems thinking: able to see and connect the full technical picture.
• RUST experience is a plus.
• Track record of technical leadership, particularly leading small to mid-sized teams.

• Represent engineering and product thinking on the executive team.
• Join external meetings to support strategy discussions, partnership alignment, and ecosystem advocacy.
• Foster innovation, continuous improvement, and best practices in engineering and product development.
• Ensure healthy engineering processes including hiring, onboarding, mentorship, knowledge transfer, and performance management.
