What You'll Do

📍Spearhead Architectural Strategy: Lead the high-level design of our decentralised protocols and systems. Author whitepapers, architectural diagrams, and technical proposals that outline the path forward. 📍Decentralise Core Systems: Critically analyse our existing infrastructure and devise pragmatic, phased strategies to migrate components from centralised to decentralised architectures. 📍Drive Foundational Decisions: Provide definitive recommendations on critical "build vs. buy" decisions. You will be expected to form strong, evidence-based opinions on topics like L1/L2 selection, protocol design, consensus mechanisms, and data availability. 📍Validate and Iterate: Present your architectural proposals to the engineering and product teams. You must be able to clearly articulate complex concepts, listen to feedback, and understand the practical trade-offs required for implementation. 📍Provide Technical Leadership: Act as a thought leader within the organisation. You have the conviction to argue against a bad idea, even if it's popular, and the clarity to explain why. 📍Focus on Delivery: While this is a strategic role, your work is directly tied to our product roadmap. You will guide the architectural evolution of existing products and the creation of new versions, ensuring our systems are secure, scalable, and built for the long term.

What You'll Bring

📍Proven Web3 Architectural Experience: You have served as a Staff/Principal Engineer or Architect on a large-scale, production-level 📍Web3 project (e.g., L1/L2 protocol, major DeFi application, cross-chain bridge, etc.). You have done this before. 📍Deep Technical Acumen: An expert-level understanding of blockchain fundamentals, dApp architecture, smart contract limitations, consensus algorithms, and the broader decentralised ecosystem. 📍A "First Principles" Thinker: You are energised by ambiguous, unsolved problems. You can break them down to their core and build solutions from the ground up. 📍Strong Conviction, Loosely Held: You are comfortable forming strong opinions and defending them with rigorous logic. You can confidently say "no" and explain your reasoning. You also have the humility to adapt your views based on new data or constructive feedback. 📍Exceptional Communication Skills: While you can be an introvert who needs time for deep work, you must be able to articulate your vision and requirements clearly and persuasively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
