About the Role

Figure is seeking a Director, Crypto Protocols, to spearhead the rollout of PRIME. As the foundational protocol for Hastra.io, PRIME is a premier RWA DeFi token, and this position is central to Figure's mission to integrate institutional assets with crypto-native frameworks.

In this capacity, you will drive the technical strategy and architectural execution for Hastra's burgeoning DeFi projects across Ethereum, Solana, and subsequent networks. Designed for a team leader who excels in the codebase, the role is approximately 90% engineering and 10% administration, prioritizing active development over detached oversight.

Collaborating with security, infrastructure, and protocol partners, you will build resilient, production-ready systems. We seek a computer science expert dedicated to building meaningful financial technology. You should value clear communication, lean, non-bureaucratic processes, and the ability to deliver high-quality work on tight, predictable schedules.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the architecture and delivery of PRIME through the Hastra protocol.
• Design and build core protocol services across RWA DeFi, tokenization, settlement, and cross-chain infrastructure.
• Own technical direction for new Hastra DeFi projects, from early design through production launch.
• Develop production systems using Golang, Rust, Solidity, and related blockchain infrastructure.
• Expand Hastra’s protocol footprint across Solana, Ethereum, and additional native chain ecosystems.
• Collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and protocol partners to define requirements, timelines, and delivery plans.
• Communicate clearly with leadership and stakeholders, including practical timeline estimates and tradeoff analysis.
• Operate protocol infrastructure with strong monitoring, observability, and incident readiness using tools such as Datadog, Hypernative, and other DeFi monitoring platforms.
• Review architecture, code, vendor integrations, and protocol design decisions for scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Mentor engineers while remaining deeply hands-on in the codebase.

What We Look For

• At least 8 years of software engineering background, focusing on the development of production-ready backend, blockchain, or distributed architectures.
• Deep technical proficiency in Rust, Golang, and/or Solidity.
• Direct experience with Ethereum and Solana native environments; familiarity with other blockchain ecosystems is advantageous.
• Proven track record in DeFi, smart contracts, token protocols, cross-chain infrastructure, or institutional-grade crypto trading and settlement systems.
• Skilled at managing production environments with a focus on observability, alerting, monitoring, and disciplined incident response.
• Capacity to spearhead architectural decisions while maintaining a daily commitment to writing high-quality code.
• Excellent communication abilities, including effectively coordinating with vendors, evaluating technical trade-offs, and providing realistic timeline estimates.
• A high-ownership, low-ego approach to work with a strong drive to ship products.
• A Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline like Computer Science is preferred, though we value significant practical experience over formal credentials.
• Adhere to all company security policies and data handling procedures.
• Complete mandatory security awareness training within required timeframes.
• Promptly report any suspected security incidents or suspicious activity to the Security team.
