Who You Are?

You are currently working in a cutting-edge emerging technology startup and understand DeFi (both the landscape and Defi products) as a CTO. You have launched a successful blockchain product before. A Master’s Degree/research background would be a plus. You are bold and driven by:

• Taking risks and thinking outside the current paradigm. We cannot be restricted by conventional approaches as a company, and the CTO has to be at the forefront of innovation.

• Hitting the ground running and enjoy resolving new challenges and learning, balancing high-level needs against low-level circumstances to set priorities based on changing conditions.

• Managing setbacks with grace and wisdom as software development is iterative and fraught with unforeseen problems.

• You are solutions-oriented with an emphasis on quality technical delivery, making data-driven decisions.

• Blockchain Architect and Development experience both in layer 1 and 2

• Product Engineering and Application Development experience

• Experience in leading transformational teams and executing global projects

Tech Stack - you need to have experience in each of the bullet points to set the tasks and communicate to the dev team.

• JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Angular, Node.js, Golang, Rust, Python, C++
