Crypto & Web3 Jobs in Geneva, Switzerland

Blockstream was founded in 2014 by Dr. Adam Back and a group of fellow cryptographers and engineers passionate about Bitcoin and its potential to change the future of finance. We have become a market leader in Bitcoin security and Layer-2 technologies. Our products are designed to make financial systems more efficient, secure, and robust.

We're seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer embedded directly inside customer engineering teams, writing the code, building the tooling, integrations and configurations needed to get Blockstream's products into production. Additionally you ship what you build back into the core product.

Operating within the Consulting Services organization, the Forward Deployed Engineer partners closely with Product Management, Engineering, Enterprise Sales, and Delivery teams to help customers successfully implement and adopt Blockstream's products.

This is not a traditional configuration or support role. You will spend significant time working directly alongside customer engineering, operations, and technology teams, often onsite, to understand complex banking environments, solve technical challenges, and deliver production-ready solutions. As the technical bridge between customers and Blockstream, you will play a critical role in accelerating customer success while providing valuable implementation insights that continuously improve our products and delivery methodology.

Engineering & Technical Delivery

• Controlled environments: Deploy into on-premise, network-isolated, and air-gapped banking environments under formal change control, producing the security and audit evidence that compliance and pen-test reviews require

• Design and implement integrations between Blockstream enterprise products and customer systems using required integration interfaces and data pipeline technologies

• Troubleshoot complex technical, configuration, and integration challenges throughout the implementation lifecycle

• Work closely with customer engineering teams to ensure secure, scalable, and production-ready deployments

• Develop reusable deployment assets, implementation playbooks, technical documentation, and best practices

• Collaborate closely with Engineering to resolve product issues and improve implementation quality

Customer Collaboration

• Embed directly with customer teams to gain a deep understanding of their operating environment and technical challenges

• Facilitate technical workshops, architecture discussions, and implementation planning sessions

• Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the implementation lifecycle

• Build strong relationships across customer Technology, Operations, Security, and Engineering functions

Digital Assets Product Improvement Feedback Loop

• Turn implementation learnings, customer feedback, and product enhancement opportunities into code

• Identify repeatable deployment patterns across engagements and contribute to standardized implementation methodologies

• Partner with Product Management and Engineering to shape the roadmap and improve platform capabilities based on real customer implementations

• Help accelerate customer time-to-production through continuous improvement of deployment frameworks and best practices

What We Look for In You (Required Qualifications):

• 4-8 years of experience in Software Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Professional Services, Technical Consulting, Implementation Engineering, or Enterprise Software Delivery

• Comfortable collaborating across Product Management, Engineering, Enterprise Sales, and Consulting teams

• Strong customer-facing communication and stakeholder management skills

• Self-starter with proven ability to work independently while managing multiple customer engagements
