Who you are

- 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with significant focus on building and maintaining robust APIs and SDKs for B2B integration
- 5+ years of engineering management experience, including managing staff and principal level engineers
- BS or MS degree in Computer Science or Engineering OR equivalent years of work experience

- Familiarity with TypeScript and React for frontend services
- Understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, including major protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), on-chain transaction flows, and common crypto security practices (key management, wallet types)
- Technical Domain Expertise (Crypto, Fintech, and API/SDK)
- Proven experience integrating with third-party financial services or crypto exchanges/brokerages via REST, WebSockets, or other proprietary APIs
- Strong knowledge of financial compliance and security standards related to digital assets and money movement (e.g., KYC/AML implications for transfers, data privacy, custody practices)
- Expertise in designing and operating large-scale, distributed systems that handle sensitive financial data and high transaction volumes with sub-second latency and high reliability
- Experience in driving technical strategy and architectural decisions for complex, highly-available, and high-throughput systems

- Experience partnering closely with Product Management to define product requirements, influence technical roadmaps, and make trade-offs between speed, quality, and technical debt

Our take
Zero Hash provides embedded crypto solutions, including for risk and settlement, post-trade management, compliance, liquidity, and asset management. This breadth of scope, in combination with Zero Hash’s API-driven business model, means its clients can access a competitively broad range of crypto products; and get them up and running competitively fast.
Zero Hash's gamble is that an increasing number of companies will be looking to offer crypto products to their customers, and it's being firmly vindicated. NFT minting, trading, and ownership has skyrocketed over recent years, and crypto trading has broken into the mainstream.
Despite the boom in crypto trading, November 2022's FTX crash has given way to a more cautious market. Internal controls, governance, and closer attention from regulatory bodies have somewhat slowed the pace of trading. As a global exchange though, Zero Hash is carving out a role for itself as a watchdog and overseer.
As a global exchange though, Zero Hash is carving out a role for itself as a watchdog and overseer. Crypto firms such as Juno are turning to Zero Hash to improve the user experience. With some other major players like MoneyLion, DraftKings, and MoonPay under its belt, Zero Hash has weathered the tumult.
