Who You Are:
The Solutions Architect is the specialist who has actually built and scaled TradFi systems, and who can carry that hard-won architectural judgment into the design of digital asset platforms. This is not a generalist solutions-architect role — it requires true fluency in the concepts of system design and architecture as they apply to both worlds: how a custody ledger is structured, how settlement systems are architected for resilience and finality, and how those same principles translate (or don't) when assets move on-chain.
You understand tokenization at a mechanical level — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled — and you can architect a full digital asset platform end to end: custody, tokenization, settlement, and trading, not just one component of it.
This is a client-facing role. You will sit across the table from Tier-1 institutional engineers and executives, defend design decisions under real scrutiny, and make the hard architectural calls when there is no obvious right answer.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the technical architecture for custom build engagements spanning custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading infrastructure
- Design and articulate how a full digital asset platform is architected end to end — from asset issuance and tokenization through custody, settlement, trading, and reporting
- Bring deep TradFi systems experience into digital asset architecture decisions — identifying where legacy patterns transfer directly and where they need to be reinvented
- Serve as the primary technical and architectural point of contact for Tier-1 institutional stakeholders, running technical discovery and defending design decisions with client engineers and executives
- Partner with the Product partners to translate requirements into sound architecture, and with engineering to set the technical bar and make hard design calls
- Explain and defend tokenization mechanics — how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled on-chain versus off-chain — to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Stay hands-on: review designs and code, prototype where it de-risks a decision, and remain credible with the engineers doing the build
- Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI tools to improve team performance, decision-making, and output quality
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven track record building and scaling TradFi systems at meaningful scale — at a bank, exchange, custodian, or major financial infrastructure provider
- Deep, applied understanding of system design and architecture principles as they apply to both TradFi and digital asset systems
- True fluency in tokenization — able to explain and design how it works mechanically, and how it fits into a broader institutional platform
- Experience architecting a full digital asset platform (custody, settlement, tokenization, trading), not just a single component
- Specialist-level technical depth; comfortable being the senior-most technical voice in the room on architecture
- Client-facing experience with Tier-1 institutions, fluent from a whiteboard session with engineers to a C-suite briefing
- Founder-grade agency and low ego — comfortable making hard design calls in ambiguous, high-stakes settings
Bonus Points:
- Hands-on experience building blockchain infrastructure or tokenization platforms
- Prior architecture leadership at a custodian, exchange, clearinghouse, or Tier-1 bank
- Hands-on production LLM or AI agent experience
