About this role

About the role (from employer)

Fireblocks is the company bringing global finance onchain. Backed by over $1 billion in capital, we are the premier digital asset infrastructure provider trusted by thousands of industry-defining financial institutions, including banks, payment providers, fintechs, and global corporates such as BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, ANZ Bank, Western Union, Stripe, and Revolut. Built for institutional scale and security, our enterprise-grade platform and network have powered over $14 trillion in digital asset transfers worldwide.

About Fireblocks

Fireblocks is on a mission to enable every business to easily and securely access digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As a leading provider in the digital asset space, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce that mirrors the global clientele we serve.

About the Team

The FinApps Access team at Fireblocks builds the backbone of on-chain access for some of the world's largest financial institutions and crypto-native organizations. We operate at the intersection of blockchain protocol engineering and enterprise-grade reliability — designing systems that route, protect, and optimize transactions across dozens of chains at scale.

You'll work on mission-critical infrastructure powering DeFi connectivity, multi-chain integrations, transaction execution pipelines, and on-chain data access — with direct impact on how billions of dollars flow through decentralized networks every day.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build robust, scalable backend services supporting high-volume on-chain transaction flows across multiple blockchain networks — both EVM and non-EVM.
  • Own end-to-end development of backend components and APIs — from architecture decisions to production deployment.
  • Lead integrations with DeFi protocols, on-chain data sources, and blockchain nodes across a wide range of chains and ecosystems.
  • Research and evaluate emerging blockchain technologies, protocols, and standards to keep Fireblocks at the cutting edge.
  • Optimize existing production systems for performance, reliability, and security — reducing latency and increasing throughput.
  • Collaborate closely with product, protocol research, and platform engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions on time.
  • Drive features from inception through to delivery at scale, taking full ownership of the product lifecycle.

What You'll Bring

  • 7+ years of experience as a Backend or Full Stack Engineer.
  • Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or equivalent degree/experience.
  • Blockchain and Web3 experience are a must — including deep understanding of transaction lifecycles, consensus mechanisms, smart contract interactions, and on-chain data.
  • Proven experience working across multiple blockchain ecosystems — EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, etc.) as well as non-EVM chains such as Solana, TON, Tron, or similar.
  • Proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.
  • Experience designing and operating microservices in production CI/CD environments.
  • Strong understanding of security principles, cryptography, and best practices in a blockchain context.
  • Familiarity with DeFi protocols — AMMs, lending markets, bridging infrastructure, or on-chain routing — is a strong advantage.
  • Experience with Web3 tooling and libraries (ethers.js, viem, web3.js, Solana web3.js, etc.).
  • Demonstrated experience taking products from inception to delivery at scale.
  • Full stack experience (React, frontend development) — a nice to have.

About You

  • You think in systems and care deeply about correctness, reliability, and scale.
  • You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and can drive technical decisions with limited oversight.
  • You have a natural curiosity for how blockchain protocols work under the hood — and you actually read the specs.
  • You thrive in fast-moving environments and can balance shipping velocity with long-term code quality.
  • You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and research.

Why Fireblocks

  • Work at the frontier of blockchain infrastructure, with real impact on how DeFi scales for institutional and retail users.
  • Tackle genuinely hard engineering problems — multi-chain routing, on-chain data indexing, protocol integrations, and more.
  • Collaborate with world-class engineers, protocol researchers, and product minds in a fast-growing global company.
  • Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and a culture that rewards ownership and initiative.

Fireblocks' mission is to enable every business to easily and securely access digital assets and cryptocurrencies. In order to do that, we strongly believe our workforce should be as diverse as our clients, and this is why we embrace diversity and inclusion in all its forms.

Citadel Securities Joins DTCC Tokenization Test Using Fireblocks

Citadel Securities successfully completed a live test of the DTCC's upcoming Tokenization Service, utilizing Fireblocks' infrastructure to tokenize U.S. Treasury securities on the Canton Network. The trial involved transferring these tokenized assets to major counterparties including BNP Paribas and Société Générale, while demonstrating their utility as collateral on the CME. This milestone serves as a critical validation step for the DTCC's broader initiative, which is scheduled for a full launch in October 2026. By representing traditional securities on a distributed ledger, the project aims to enhance capital efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enable real-time collateral mobility. The initiative has already engaged over 50 financial firms, signaling strong institutional interest in blockchain-based market infrastructure. Fireblocks provided the necessary secure environment, including validator node access and governance tools, to ensure compliance with institutional risk policies. This development represents a significant move toward bridging traditional financial markets with blockchain technology while maintaining established investor protections.

Fidelity Launches Tokenized Funds in Production

Fidelity has officially transitioned its tokenized funds from pilot programs to live production environments in collaboration with EY. This operational milestone signifies a major shift for traditional financial institutions moving toward blockchain-based issuance, trading, and settlement. By leveraging blockchain technology, the initiative aims to enhance transparency and efficiency within financial transactions. While the current market for tokenized assets faces low trading volumes, the entry of a major player like Fidelity is expected to catalyze broader institutional and retail adoption. The partnership utilizes infrastructure supported by Fireblocks to facilitate these operational capabilities. This development underscores a growing trend of legacy financial firms integrating distributed ledger technology into their core service offerings. As these funds become operational, the focus shifts toward regulatory clarity and the potential for increased market liquidity in the tokenized asset space.
