Turnkey is hiring a Enterprise Account Executive in Sales (NYC HQ).
Turnkey is pioneering a next-generation key-management and wallet-infrastructure API designed for security, flexibility, and developer-first ease. Founded by the team that scaled Coinbase Custody from zero to more than $100 billion in assets under custody, Turnkey is rewriting the rules of crypto infrastructure by tackling core security at its foundational level. Their platform enables developers and enterprises to build embedded wallets, AI agent-driven flows, programmable key management, and at-scale transaction services - unlocking mass-market crypto adoption.
Developers stay fully in charge of their keys while gaining the kind of protection trusted by leading financial institutions. At Turnkey, you'll be building the backbone of the next wave of digital innovation. With a focus on security, transparency, and control, the company isn't just creating tools - it's shaping the infrastructure that will let crypto evolve openly, collaboratively, and at scale.
