## About the role

You will be the engineer embedded with our institutional customers, taking Prividium from a signed deal to a live chain inside their environment. The institutions running on it are banks, custodians, and clearing houses moving real value on infrastructure built decades ago. What you deploy becomes part of how they operate.

## What they're looking for

- Production software you have owned and run, including carrying a pager for it
- A strong coder. TypeScript or Rust in your day to day, or deep fluency in a comparable language such as Java, C#, Go, or Python and the ability to pick ours up fast
- Serious time inside customer environments, whether as a forward deployed engineer, a solutions architect, or a technical founder. Former founders are strongly encouraged to apply
- We are hiring two people into this role and we are not looking for one person who covers both of the areas below. Depth in one is what matters
