Engineering

ICME is building the stock market for startup shares.

Private companies are staying private longer, but the infrastructure around private equity still feels like it was built for a world of PDFs, lawyers, transfer agents, closed networks, and delayed liquidity. Meanwhile, investors are already trying to access private-company upside through inferior workarounds. ICME is building the official version: real tokenized equity, compliant issuance, programmable ownership, continuous trading, and market infrastructure designed for private companies before IPO. As an engineer, you will help build the technical core of that market. This is not a normal product engineering role. You will be working on the systems that make regulated startup equity programmable, transferable, auditable, and tradable.

You will work across restricted-asset smart contracts, eligibility-gated wallet infrastructure, primary issuance flows, order lifecycle systems, settlement logic, market data pipelines, internal ledgers, shareholder recordkeeping, compliance controls, issuer tooling, investor workflows, and surveillance infrastructure. The product should feel simple to users, but underneath it requires precise state management, adversarial thinking, reconciliation, audit trails, and reliable execution.

ICME sits at the intersection of capital markets, crypto infrastructure, and regulated securities. The engineering challenge is not just "put shares on-chain." The challenge is to build a market where real equity can move with software-native speed while preserving the constraints that make it legitimate: identity, eligibility, transfer restrictions, ownership records, issuer controls, disclosure workflows, and settlement integrity.

You should expect to own large technical surfaces from day one. We are early, ambitious, and building something structurally new. The right engineer will shape the architecture of a new capital market.
