Senior/Lead Engineer — Digital Asset Infrastructure
We're looking for a founding-level senior engineer to lead this build end-to-end; owning the architecture decisions everything else depends on, working directly with our founder and legal counsel as the product takes shape.
What you'll own
Architect core digital-asset infrastructure, regulated settlement flows, KYC/KYB, custody, and compliance/reporting systems
Make foundational calls on custody and system design that shape our licensing posture and long-term defensibility
Design an API layer built for bank and enterprise integration from day one
Partner directly with legal/compliance counsel so system design matches real regulatory requirements, not guesswork
Build for a regulatory environment that's still moving, and grow the engineering team as we scale past founding stage
What we're looking for
7+ years in software engineering, 3+ in a senior/lead or founding-engineer role owning architecture end-to-end
Experience building financial infrastructure: payments, settlement, ledgers, or banking-adjacent platforms
Strong backend/cloud architecture skills (AWS or equivalent), and comfort designing for audit, compliance and access control as first-class requirements
Working knowledge of blockchain/distributed-ledger concepts: wallets, custody, stablecoins, tokenization
Bonus: African fintech/payments experience, or exposure to a live regulatory sandbox process (SEC, CBN, or equivalent)
