Company mission
To enable any enterprise, business, non-profit, or government to work with digital assets, and take more direct control over their financial future, bypassing traditional financial institutions and investment banks.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate for this position needs to be willing to not only oversee and lead a team of talented software engineers, but they also need to be a highly talented software engineer
- You must be interested in hands-on software development to be successful in this role
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical expertise area
- Minimum of 10+ years of experience in building enterprise software and coding
- Minimum of 5+ years of experience working on cloud software
- Experience with agile tracking tools such as CI/CD, GCP, etc
- Demonstrated experience leading and growing a technical team (bonus points for having lead a fully remote team)
- Commitment to understanding and prioritizing customers’ needs
- Ability and willingness to communicate and collaborate cross-functionally
- Prior experience in a start-up environment
- Interest in digital assets, decentralized finance, and cryptocurrencies
What the job involves
- As a small company (less than 50 employees) with a small engineering team (~15 people), our CEO (one of our founders) has been critical to the growth and management of the engineering team
- Our goal in hiring a VP of Engineering is to offload the day-to-day oversight and management to someone with both the technical and management skills necessary to help us continue to scale and elevate the team and our products
- While the VP title represents the importance of this position to Bitwave’s growth and success, it doesn’t necessarily line up with a very structured VP role that one might find in a Fortune 500 company
- Build and lead a high performing engineering team to include mentoring and managing a high-performing team of engineers, and scaling this team when necessary
- Develop and execute technical strategy by helping to define and continually adjust the roadmap, technical vision, and architecture to align with business needs and objectives
- Establish and grow engineering processes, best practices, and standards for development, testing, and deployment of software
- Foster a collaborative environment that promotes innovation and a positive work environment for employees working remotely across the globe
- Provide oversight and manage technical and non-technical processes to monitor and ensure necessary controls are in place to maintain our SOC 1&2 certifications remain in good standing
- Communicate and collaborate effectively, and be willing to take feedback from across the Bitwave team to ensure that we are delivering a successful product on all fronts
- Manage engineering resources effectively with a strong focus on cost management and effective allocation
Our take
As the popularity of cryptocurrency and other digital assets increases, businesses need ways to manage them. Bitwave supplies a host of solutions for accounting and bookkeeping with crypto, as well as other digital asset management tools.
Bitwave is the first platform of its kind, supporting the decentralized finance revolution through its bridge-building between crypto and traditional finance practices. With it, businesses can bring digital assets onto their balance sheets assured in the knowledge that they are remaining compliant and not impacting the quality of their existing accounting.
The company has earned itself a host of clients including leading digital asset native and Fortune 500 companies like OpenSea, Compound, and Polygon. It has also raised significant funding that will support the launch of its "Bitwave Institutional" product, targeted to clients who are typically exposed to large amounts of risk.
