Our work enables intent-driven execution across chains, requiring high-velocity technical delivery and strong team leadership. We are seeking an
Engineering Manager
to accelerate execution across projects, partner integrations, and cross‑team initiatives.
This role is focused on
making things happen : ensuring technical projects are delivered on time, partner integrations run smoothly, and internal teams are fully aligned. You will lead and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team while owning technical guidance, reliability management, and strategic process implementation.
Key Responsibilities
Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team, fostering a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and continuous improvement
Project Delivery: Own delivery pipelines across engineering streams; track progress, identify risks, and keep projects moving toward milestones
Technical Guidance: Provide architectural and technical guidance, ensuring best practices in code quality, system design, and scalability (especially for message‑based/event‑driven systems)
Integrations: Oversee technical integrations with partners, customers, and ecosystem teams, collaborating closely with Partner Engineers and TPMs

Process & Tools: Introduce pragmatic delivery tools, reporting, and frameworks to help engineering scale efficiently and foster an accountable performance culture
Stakeholder Communication: Provide regular delivery and technical updates to leadership and partners, highlighting risks early and proposing actionable solutions
Requirements
Experience: 5+ years of experience in engineering management, technical delivery, or program management
Leadership: Experience leading software teams and managing technical integrations across products, platforms, or APIs
Systems Understanding: Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycles and complex systems architecture (e.g., message‑based, event‑driven systems)
Blockchain Knowledge: Solid understanding of blockchain or distributed systems, ideally with Ethereum experience
Technical Background: Hands‑on technical background; able to review code or guide design discussions in TypeScript, Rust, Go, or Solidity
Execution Skills: Excellent organizational and execution skills—able to balance delivery, people, and process effectively
Communication: Strong communication skills—can translate between technical depth and business context
Mindset: Calm, structured, and solution‑oriented under pressure, with comfort in ambiguity
Open Source: Contributions to open‑source software
Benefits
Impact: Accelerate the development of programmable, intent‑based infrastructure that is making blockchain interactions smoother and more composable
Environment: Work in an energetic environment, surrounded by highly productive and meticulous engineers eager to dive into the cross‑chain ecosystem
Compensation & Package: Competitive salary and benefits package (details to be discussed based on experience)
Challenge: The role offers a constant challenge in driving execution across complex projects and partner integrations
