Engineering Manager Tokenization

Skills

About the Role

You will lead the design, implementation, and delivery of asset tokenization and RWA infrastructure. You will plan technical solutions with product and program managers, translate product requirements into smart contract logic and asset lifecycle implementations, and make hands-on contributions to the codebase. You will recruit, coach, and develop engineers specializing in smart contracts and distributed ledger technology, help them establish career development plans, and manage processes that enable the team to deliver high-quality, production-grade systems. You will collaborate across stakeholders to define your team's roadmap, introduce industry-leading engineering practices, and ensure projects meet quantifiable goals for asset issuance and throughput.

Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with focus on building and maintaining robust APIs and SDKs for B2B integration
• 5+ years of engineering management experience including managing staff and principal-level engineers
• BS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering or equivalent experience
• Proven track record of managing teams that delivered complex production-grade blockchain or financial products
• Golang expertise and familiarity with Go idioms
• Familiarity with TypeScript and React for frontend services and dashboards
• Expertise in smart contract development (Solidity, Rust, or Go-based chaincode)
• Experience with token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-1400)
• Knowledge of on-chain transaction flows, minting/burning logic, and oracle integration
• Understanding of RWA lifecycle and transition to digital ledgers
• Familiarity with custody solutions, multi-sig architectures, and MPC
• Understanding of regulatory requirements relevant to digital securities and tokenized assets (e.g., KYC/AML triggers on-chain)
• Experience building and managing mission-critical backend systems such as high-throughput accounting/ledger systems
• Experience with distributed system design and messaging frameworks (e.g., Kafka, NATS, ZeroMQ)
• Expertise in writing highly concurrent, multi-threaded code and optimizing for high-throughput environments

Responsibilities

• Work with engineers and product managers to deliver tokenization products and features
• Partner with product and program managers to plan and execute the tokenization roadmap
• Translate product requirements into technical solutions including smart contract logic and asset lifecycle management
• Partner with other engineering managers to drive the broader technical roadmap
• Support the engineering team in achieving technical excellence in blockchain development and integration
• Manage processes to improve team effectiveness and cross-team interfacing
• Recruit, coach, and develop engineers specializing in smart contracts and DLT
• Help engineers establish career development plans within the digital asset space
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of the engineering management team
• Participate in technical, design, and product discussions with leaders across product and operations
• Build a clear vision for the team's role in the tokenization ecosystem with stakeholders
• Oversee project success and achieve measurable results for asset issuance and throughput
• Introduce industry-leading engineering patterns and practices
• Make consistent hands-on development contributions to maintain competency with the codebase and architecture
