The Role

As the VP of Engineering, you will lead and cultivate high-performing engineering, product, and design teams. While not primarily a hands-on role, it demands the ability to dive deep when needed, roll up your sleeves, and address critical challenges to keep the momentum going.

If you are a hands-on leader who thrives on tackling critical challenges and relentlessly pushing boundaries; if you're driven by transformative innovation and the opportunity to shape the future of decentralized systems; and if you foster a culture of collegiality, compassion, and ambition, this role is for you.

What You Will Do

  • Lead the engineering organization, which includes production and quality assurance.
  • Collaborate with security, product, business development, and legal teams.
  • Own technical strategy and overall systems architecture.
  • Own staffing and all other organization resources.
  • Deliver high-quality processes and services throughout the engineering organization.
  • Lead teams with high standards for technical excellence, trust, and efficiency.

What You Will Bring

  • Extensive leadership experience in crypto, service engineering, and operations.
  • Experience with protocols, services, and production security.
  • Detailed technical knowledge based on experience as an individual contributor.
  • Integrity and high standards with a collegial approach to work.
  • Experience managing a staff, maintaining budgets, resolving conflicts, and communicating trade-offs and risks.
  • Track record with excellent references.
  • The target base salary for this role will range between $300,000 to $350,000 USD. This is determined by a few factors including your skillset, prior relevant experience, quality of interviews, and market factors at the point in time of offer. Other rewards may include short- and long-term incentives, and program-specific awards. In addition, Eigen Labs provides various employee benefits, including :

  • Unlimited vacation : Take time when you need it.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Monthly wellness benefit.
  • Yearly off-sites.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Equal Opportunity Employment

    There's one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives.
