Lead the engineering org building Fortary's institutional digital asset platform: custody, trading, lending, staking, and treasury management for regulated financial institutions. You'll own the architecture and technical strategy for our distributed MPC custody system, grow the team, and partner with Product, Security, and executive leadership to ship secure, resilient infrastructure at institutional scale.

This is a leadership role at the intersection of distributed systems, applied cryptography, and institutional finance. You set technical direction, you're accountable for what ships, and you build the org that ships it.

Support multiple deployment models: managed platform and licensed software

Ensure engineering practices meet the security, compliance, and governance bar required as Fortary moves toward chartered-institution status

Lead incident response for outages, security events, and key management scenarios

Hire, mentor, and grow engineering managers and senior engineers

Drive adoption of AI-assisted engineering across the org

What you'll bring

10+ years in software engineering, 5+ leading teams shipping production-scale secure distributed systems

Track record owning large-scale, security-critical platforms from architecture through production

Deep expertise in modern cryptography and secure key management: MPC, threshold signatures, TEEs, HSMs

Experience building cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, observability) with security and resilience as first-order concerns

Fluency in the compliance frameworks for regulated finance: SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, AML/KYC, and awareness of the SEC/CFTC/OCC/MiCA landscape
