Staff Engineer (AI-Native FinTech)

About this role

We are building mission-critical infrastructure at the intersection of
digital assets, fintech, and AI-native engineering
.

This is not a typical senior engineering role.

You will own the
core architecture and implementation
, set the bar for engineering excellence, and solve the most complex technical challenges in a
highly secure, regulated environment
.

If you thrive on
deep technical problems, ultra-high scale, and hands-on coding
, this role is designed for you.

What you will be doing:
