Member of Technical Staff

Who You Are:

This is a builder role with a research dimension. You'll move fluidly between deep technical exploration and shipping production-grade systems, working across the off-chain and infrastructure layers that make Edge's products operable for regulated institutions — validator and staking infrastructure, custody integrations, compliance automation, and the services that sit between on-chain protocols and institutional stacks.

You own your work end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and operability. You move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigour, and you're comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Do:

Build and own off-chain systems

• Design and build the off-chain systems and infrastructure that power Edge's on-chain products — validator and staking architectures, custody and key management integrations, compliance automation, and the APIs and services that connect institutional workflows to on-chain settlement.
• Own deployments end-to-end: infrastructure-as-code, observability, audit logging, runbooks, and the SLAs that institutional clients depend on.
• Take ownership of architecture and implementation, not just execution against a spec.

Research and design new systems

• Move ideas from research and prototype through to production without losing rigor.
• Contribute to technical research and help define the direction of new systems.
• Engage with emerging on-chain primitives and assess how they translate into production-grade infrastructure for regulated institutions.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, backend engineering, and production cloud infrastructure.
• Experience designing and operating systems with real reliability, security, and auditability requirements.
• A track record of taking ideas from prototype to production with care and rigour.
• Comfort working in a high-autonomy, fast-moving environment.
• Working knowledge of blockchain systems — Ethereum, Solana, validator operations, or on-chain protocols — or a clear track record of picking up new domains deeply and quickly.
• High agency, low ego. You own your work end-to-end and hold yourself accountable for quality.

Bonus Points: 

• Experience with regulated financial infrastructure, custody systems, or institutional capital markets workflows.
• Background running validator infrastructure or staking systems at scale.
• Familiarity with secure key handling, HSMs, or distributed systems at scale.
• Prior work integrating with KYC/AML, treasury, or risk systems.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus
• Hybrid/Flexible Working Arrangements 
• Flexible Time Off (paid)
• 3% 401(k) company contribution
• Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and other dependents
• Generous paid Parental Leave
• Competitive family planning benefits for US employees 
• Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry
• Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues
• Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts/lunches 
• Employee Resource Groups
• Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace
