Your mission

Bitpanda Custody is a platform for safeguarding 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 customers demand more asset diversification into Crypto. Via the TrustVault Metamask extension, customers can connect their funds to DeFi apps and exchanges.

At Custody you’ll have direct exposure to the systems that create, manage, authorise, sign and publish transactions. 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. You’ll see all parts of the SDLC, from design to prototyping to implementation to testing to release.

• Work directly on building new features and services related to Bitpanda’s Custody product offering.
• Develop clean, scalable and maintainable solutions for high performance backend systems with event driven architecture hosted on AWS.
• Work on loosely coupled microservices that support core business service of the entire organisation.
• Join a talented team of developers where you help guide and mentor others whilst developing your own skills and broaden your own knowledge working alongside domain experts.
• Own delivery of features to completion including deployment and e2e testing.
