• Act as the custody architecture authority, ensuring consistency across wallets, blockchains, and platforms while identifying and mitigating risks.
• Leverage GenAI and agentic AI tools to accelerate architecture design, threat modeling, documentation, and testing.

Required Qualifications

• Experience collaborating with security auditors.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with crypto custody, digital asset platforms, or blockchain infrastructure.
