About the Role We're building our Blockchain Engineering presence in our New York City office to spearhead blockchain technology initiatives and establish foundational infrastructure for our expanding product suite. This is a unique opportunity to shape blockchain engineering practices at a market‑leading company while working on cutting‑edge solutions that power institutional digital asset operations.
As a Blockchain Engineer, you will be instrumental in the research and integration of blockchain technologies into the Fireblocks platform. Your responsibilities include collaborating closely with foundations and developers to gain a deep understanding of blockchain protocols and on‑chain projects. This knowledge will then be applied to implement new features within the Fireblocks platform.
You will focus equally on external protocol integration patterns and internal wallet infrastructure. This role serves as a technical bridge between raw on‑chain integrated capabilities and the valuable wallet features delivered to customers.
This role will report into our Senior Director, Wallet Technology. Our team works in a hybrid model with three days in our NYC office.

Advocate for features or changes that would benefit the wallet infrastructure and its users
Establish strong partnerships with blockchain foundations, vendors, builders, and customers to address challenges, implement solutions, and ensure we are building the right blockchain integrations
Collaborate with product, engineering, and security teams to define technical requirements for blockchain initiatives
Mentor and guide other engineers on blockchain technologies and implementations

Understanding of MPC, multi‑signature wallets, or other advanced cryptographic techniques
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
Success Criteria & Impact:
The team is never surprised by a technical change in a core protocol
Research is consistently used as the foundation for architectural decisions
