Paros | New York, NY, United States | $67k - $150k |
Founding Engineer (Remote - Full Time)
Paros is an early-stage startup building the next generation of on-chain infrastructure, rethinking how organisations coordinate, automate, and earn yield on their digital assets. Built on public MPC rails, our system makes treasury operations autonomous and self-custodial, turning complex on-chain workflows into simple, automated decisions.
Our MVP is live in beta with strong early traction and ecosystem partnerships. We’re now expanding the founding team.
We’re looking for a founding engineer who loves to build from scratch, explore new systems, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in crypto infrastructure.
Primary Responsibilities
- Architect and build the core agent coordination layer on top of MPC rails.
- Design systems for automated strategy execution.
- Collaborate on product vision, architecture, and integrations with validators & DeFi protocols.
- Own early technical decisions, code quality, and infrastructure design
- Help shape the company’s technical culture, team, and roadmap
- You’ll take ownership of our technical foundation — from designing wallet integrations and automation systems to scaling institutional-grade infrastructure.
- You’ll work closely with the founder to shape the product roadmap, ship quickly in a live environment, and evolve the architecture as we grow from MVP to production.
Expected Qualifications
- 10+ years in backend or infrastructure engineering, comfortable building secure, scalable systems across TypeScript and systems languages (Go, Rust, or C++; Solidity a plus).
- Deep understanding of wallets, custody, or secure systems.
- Familiarity with DeFi, staking, or yield protocols.
- Excited by early-stage ownership and autonomy — from idea to deployment.
- Hands-on, proactive, and able to work independently in a fast-moving environment.
- Comfortable shipping MVPs or early-stage products and scaling institutional-grade systems.
- A team player, direct communicator, and nice person to work with — team culture matters to us.
Beneficial: Experience across both crypto and TradFi trading systems (e.g. exchanges, market making, risk, or brokerage systems)
Why Join Us
- Own a founding stake in a live startup redefining on-chain treasury automation.
- Shape key product and technical decisions from day one.
- Work alongside experienced founders, validators, and infra partners.
- Help design a system that will onboard the next wave of institutional capital into DeFi.
- Build something that will change how crypto organisations manage their assets.
If you enjoy thinking about scalable infra, smart automation, and how to make self-custody powerful and intuitive, you’ll fit right in.
