Your mission

Bitpanda Custody builds Trust Vault, a platform for safe storage of crypto assets and a window to the world of Defi. It is the chosen asset custodian for crypto institutions, with increasing interest from banks as TradFi business diversify more into Crypto. Via the TrustVault Metamask extension, customers can connect their funds and interact with DeFi apps and exchanges. At Custody you’ll have direct exposure to systems that create, manage, authorise, sign and publish transactions to the blockchain. We build wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum + EVM based chains, Cardano, Ripple, Solana, with more in the works. Meaning we get right down to the low level aspects of constructing and sending blockchain transactions and build the infrastructure to do so.

You’ll be working on chain support, interaction with blockchain systems, design & implementation of an event-driven and distributed environment in AWS, and delivery of the roadmap of features for both internal consumers of the platform and external customers.
