  • Experience with blockchain technology and protocols, and traditional financial systems and concepts.
  • Experience crafting or contributing to the multi-year engineering roadmap of open source software.
  • Experience in mentoring and growing engineers at all levels, and setting up best practices and processes for them and the company to succeed.
  • Have prior experience leading software evaluation and decision making processes.
