  • Transaction creation and signing workflows
  • Submission pipelines to blockchain networks
• Integrate with secure key management systems (e.g., MPC, HSMs)
• Ensure clean separation between protocol logic, security layers, and business logic

Custody & Blockchain Operations

• Support custody-related workflows including:
  • On-chain transaction execution
  • Event monitoring and reconciliation
  • Failure handling and recovery mechanisms
• Define safe interaction patterns with smart contracts and token standards
• Ensure workflows align with custody governance, approvals, and risk controls

Engineering Excellence & AI Utilization
