As a Government Solutions Architect reporting to the Head of Custody, you will serve as a strategic advisor and technical partner to public sector clients evaluating and adopting digital asset infrastructure. You’ll pitch our solutions directly to federal, state, and local agencies, lead technical solutioning, and represent the firm with credibility in high-sensitivity environments.

You’ll partner closely with our Head of Government Solutions, who owns strategic public sector relationships and market expansion efforts. Together, you’ll create a one-two punch of government success, strategy and deployment in seamless coordination.
