Job description

Overview

Founding Software Engineer, Crypto Newport Beach, CA. Company Stage of Funding : Late Seed (Backed by top-tier venture investors). Office Type : On-site, 6 days per week. Salary : $250,000 $400,000 equity.

Company Description

We are partnered with a stealth-mode financial technology company that has recently raised over $250M at a multibillion-dollar valuation to build the next generation of U.S. banking infrastructure. The companys mission is to rebuild core banking systems from the ground up creating real-time financial infrastructure that connects directly to the Federal Reserve and supports industries defining the future, including crypto, AI, and defense technology. This is a rare opportunity to join a founding engineering team tackling problems that most engineers will never get the chance to work on building secure, production-grade blockchain rails and financial systems at national scale.

What You Will Do

  • Design, build, and secure wallet infrastructure to support blockchain-based payments and fund transfers.
  • Develop internal blockchain rails and crypto transaction systems that integrate directly with broader banking infrastructure.
  • Take ownership of backend systems powering real-time crypto and fiat interoperability.
  • Define and embed security best practices throughout the crypto software development lifecycle.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (product, compliance, security) to ensure robust and compliant infrastructure design.
  • Contribute to the companys ledger, transaction processing, and on-chain / off-chain reconciliation systems.

Ideal Candidate Background

  • 46 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong understanding of blockchain protocols, wallet infrastructure, and crypto fund transfer mechanisms.
  • Experience developing secure systems for managing digital assets or working at crypto exchanges.
  • Proficiency in backend languages (Golang preferred; Python or Rust experience a plus).
  • Prior experience in a startup or fast-moving technical environment.
  • Excellent communication skills and collaborative approach to problem-solving.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing and implementing financial infrastructure or compliance-sensitive systems.
  • Familiarity with cryptographic primitives, key management, and blockchain security.
  • Contributions to open-source blockchain or fintech projects.
  • Strong interest in national-scale financial systems, payments, or stablecoin infrastructure.
  • Compensation, Benefits & Other Details

  • Base Salary : $250,000 $400,000 depending on experience.
  • Equity : Competitive founding-level equity package (high-upside potential).
  • Visa Support : H-1B transfer sponsorship available (no new H-1B filings at this time).
  • Schedule : On-site 6 days per week in Newport Beach, CA, collaborating directly with the founding team to launch the companys first core banking platform.
  • Mission : Be part of a founding team reimagining U.S. financial infrastructure and creating one of the most technologically advanced banking systems in the country.
