The desk

PRIVATE · AI EXECUTION

The seat that would own Ritual's open-source contract libraries — if the req, last touched on 24 July 2024, is still a team and not a leftover.

PRIVATE · AI EXECUTION

A client engineer for stateful precompiles and parallel execution — the hardest seat Ritual has posted, and the one that only matters if the chain is a real roadmap.

PRIVATE · AI EXECUTION

The networking seat: specialised nodes, consensus, and the observability that tells you the fleet is lying.

PRIVATE · AI EXECUTION

The person who has to make Ritual feel like Foundry. High leverage, and the first role blamed when nobody builds.

PRIVATE · AI EXECUTION

An operator's engineer: bare metal, upgrades, snapshots, and the Discord where staking either stays alive or doesn't.

NASDAQ: GLXY · PUBLIC

A lead security seat inside a public markets firm, not a protocol audit shop. The attack surface is trading, custody, and now a data-centre counterparty.

NASDAQ: GLXY · PUBLIC

A London production-infrastructure role wearing a vice-president title. The work is the pipes. The title is Galaxy's.

PRIVATE · MPC CUSTODY

A London full-stack seat on the access path: the screens and services institutions use to reach a chain without holding the key.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

Internal APIs that turn a chain's state machine into something the rest of Coinbase can list, stake, and custody without each team running its own node religion.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

The team that constructs, signs, broadcasts, and reconciles movement across protocols: wallets, liquidity, and bridges.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

CB Node: the machines behind assets Coinbase lists. Performance, root cause, and health. Not a new chain.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

Issuance, wrapping, and reconciliation — including cbBTC, which the employer names — from the contract through the Go services that have to agree with it.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

Fiat on- and off-ramps, turned into an internal API. Partners, rails, and a timeout that must not pay twice.

PRIVATE · PAYMENTS

The product seat at the centre of Ripple's post-lawsuit spending: stablecoin payments, on-chain liquidity, FX, and programmable commerce, in San Francisco.

ANNOUNCED SALE · SECURITY

A researcher on the services side of the firm S&P Global has agreed to buy. The work is other people's protocols. The week you join may be the week the owner changes.

ANNOUNCED SALE · SECURITY

A principal seat to design and harden production libraries, on Solana, inside a franchise the market hears as Ethereum — while the company changes owners.

SPLIT IN PROGRESS · ETHEREUM

Staff engineer for MetaMask Perpetuals, while Consensys is mid-split and the consumer company is about to be the employer that keeps the wallet.

NASDAQ: COIN · PUBLIC

Offensive security on Coinbase's application-security team, including AI-assisted discovery. A product attacker, not a protocol researcher. The posting says Remote - Canada.

PRIVATE · OMNICHAIN

The Vancouver protocol seat: contracts, proofs, and chain drift. The board was last updated on 20 October 2025. The cash band does not name a currency, and the equity is private.

PRIVATE · OMNICHAIN

Backend in the same Vancouver company, with a lower ceiling and a posting that talks more about temperament than about a named service. Updated 19 August 2026.

CONTROL FIGHT · RWA

You would own Ondo's contract systems — deploy, upgrade, and the tools around them — while a Delaware court lets the acting CEO run the day and blocks major changes.

CONTROL FIGHT · RWA

Product manager for Ondo's stocks product. Remote in the US, no salary printed, same company, same control fight. The job is hiding brokerage complexity, not writing the contracts.

CONTROL FIGHT · RWA

Product security for a tokenization company in a control dispute. You would run threat models, reviews, and the bug bounty. Pay is not on the posting.

Staff platform security for AWS and Kubernetes at the same listed exchange. The band is higher, and this posting names New York, California, and Washington — still not every state.

NYSE: BTGO

Build BitGo's ledger in Palo Alto while the CEO says he wants prime brokerage, not custody fees, to be the business. The equity is NYSE: BTGO. Base averages $180,000–$220,000 USD, by level and location.

Build OpenZeppelin's Daml contracts library for Canton, while the company has agreed to be bought by S&P. Not the Ethereum audit practice. Not the Solana principal seat. Pay is not disclosed.

PRIVATE · PAYMENTS P&L
