About DFNS
Finance is moving onchain. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits, securities and funds are changing how money and assets are issued, held and transferred. The destination is a financial system where any asset can be issued, moved and governed onchain with the controls regulated institutions require. That shift needs a new foundation. Just as core banking systems manage accounts and ledgers today, financial institutions need a platform to manage digital assets. DFNS is that platform. Today, we secure hundreds of billions of dollars in assets every month for more than 500 clients worldwide.
Why this role
Every deal we win in the Americas ends with the client's engineers asking the same thing: show us how this runs in our environment. You are the person who answers, from the first architecture session through integration, deployment and the first production transaction. In year one you will design the integrations behind our largest accounts in the Americas, cut the time from signed contract to production and turn what you learn into the reference architectures, documentation and product feedback that make every deployment after it faster.
Key Responsibilities
- Design integration architectures for banks, fintechs and enterprises across the Americas, across SaaS, hybrid and on-premise deployments.
- Guide clients from signed contract to first production transaction, hands on with their engineers in code, configuration and testing.
- Lead the technical side of sales cycles with Sales (demos, proofs of concept, security and architecture reviews with client CTOs and architects).
- Troubleshoot in production when it matters, working with Engineering and Security to get to root cause and resolution.
- Build reference architectures, integration guides and sample code so each client starts further ahead than the last.
- Feed product insight back to Engineering and Product, with the evidence of what clients struggle with and why.
- Set the practices the Solutions team runs on as it grows.
Candidate Profile & Mindset
Must-haves
- A record of taking enterprise clients from contract to production as a solutions, integration or forward deployed engineer, in financial services or another regulated industry.
- Engineering depth to write and review integration code (TypeScript or another modern language) and to read our APIs and SDKs like an engineer rather than a presenter.
- Fluency in cloud architecture, APIs, authentication and key management, enough to design and defend an architecture with a bank's architects.
- Comfort running a room with CTOs and security teams, and the written clarity to leave them with a document they can act on.
- Experience with security due diligence and the questions regulated clients ask (deployment models, key custody, audit trails, controls).
- Authorization to work in the United States and the ability to travel to clients.
Nice-to-haves
- Digital assets, custody, stablecoins or tokenization in production.
- MPC, HSMs or secure enclaves.
- Blockchain networks and smart contracts.
- Spanish or Portuguese for the wider Americas.
