We are looking for individuals who thrive in a culture of builders and overachievers and embrace high performance, transparent feedback, and a mission-first approach. Our culture shapes our way of working and gets us where we want to be.

  • Seek Excellence.
  • Be Selective To Be Effective.
  • Be Highly Aligned, Loosely Coupled.
  • Disagree Transparently.
  • Encourage Independent Decision-Making.
  • Build Dream Teams.

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

Apply now and join us on our mission to engineer a new economic paradigm.

The base salary ranges included below will be commensurate with candidate experience, expertise and local market. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise. At Galaxy, we maintain a total compensation philosophy which consists of a competitive base salary, annual bonus, and equity incentives.

$200,000 - $250,000 USD

INVITATION TO SELF-IDENTIFY

Collecting diversity data from colleagues is a well-established way to track and encourage improvement in diversity.  We are asking you to provide this information on a voluntary basis to help us inform our recruiting practices and policies. It is entirely your choice if you choose to provide this information.  Your managers will not have access to your responses.

This helps us plan our work in promoting a diverse and inclusive working environment. This information is used for monitoring and reporting purposes only and will only be shared in an anonymous, collective format. 

GENDER/SEXUAL ORIENTATION

Our company does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. But to track the effectiveness of our recruiting efforts and ensure we consider the needs of all our employees, please consider the following optional questions.

Transgender is an umbrella term that refers to people whose gender identity, expression or behavior is different from those typically associated with their assigned sex at birth. Other identities considered to fall under this umbrella can include non-binary, gender fluid, and genderqueer – as well as many more.

Your voluntary cooperation is appreciated.  Thank you.
