Company mission
To engineer a new economic paradigm.
Role
Who you are
- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, backend engineering, and production cloud infrastructure
- Experience designing and operating systems with real reliability, security, and auditability requirements
- A track record of taking ideas from prototype to production with care and rigour
- Comfort working in a high-autonomy, fast-moving environment
- Working knowledge of blockchain systems — Ethereum, Solana, validator operations, or on-chain protocols — or a clear track record of picking up new domains deeply and quickly
- High agency, low ego. You own your work end-to-end and hold yourself accountable for quality
Desirable
- Experience with regulated financial infrastructure, custody systems, or institutional capital markets workflows
- Background running validator infrastructure or staking systems at scale
- Familiarity with secure key handling, HSMs, or distributed systems at scale
- Prior work integrating with KYC/AML, treasury, or risk systems
What the job involves
- This is a builder role with a research dimension
- You'll move fluidly between deep technical exploration and shipping production-grade systems, working across the off-chain and infrastructure layers that make Edge's products operable for regulated institutions — validator and staking infrastructure, custody integrations, compliance automation, and the services that sit between on-chain protocols and institutional stacks
- You own your work end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and operability
- You move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigour, and you're comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment
- Design and build the off-chain systems and infrastructure that power Edge's on-chain products — validator and staking architectures, custody and key management integrations, compliance automation, and the APIs and services that connect institutional workflows to on-chain settlement
- Own deployments end-to-end: infrastructure-as-code, observability, audit logging, runbooks, and the SLAs that institutional clients depend on
- Take ownership of architecture and implementation, not just execution against a spec
- Move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigor
- Contribute to technical research and help define the direction of new systems
- Engage with emerging on-chain primitives and assess how they translate into production-grade infrastructure for regulated institutions
Our take
Galaxy was founded to bring institutions into the blockchain revolution, envisioning a society where values and ownership flow as freely as information. It has captured the massive growth in the space over the past few years, offering its clients a range of financial solutions spanning the digital assets ecosystem.
The company operates five synergistic business lines: Trading, Asset Management, Principal Investments, Investment Banking, and Mining. Although it exists within a highly volatile industry, Galaxy emerged stronger following the crypto reset, and has focussed in on building an optimal team structure and strategy.
In 2024, Galaxy announced that it had entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corporation for a bought deal offering, raising gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. This move bolstered the company’s financial position, with proceeds going towards working capital and general corporate purposes.
