About the role

Mesh connects 300+ exchanges and wallets to companies like PayPal, Revolut, and Kalshi so their users can move crypto and money seamlessly. As Head of Off-Chain Engineering, you'll own the exchange and fiat integrations that power those flows. You'll set the strategy, build the org, and stay close enough to the code to make reliability our competitive advantage. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 12+ years in engineering, including several years at Director level or above leading multiple teams and managers
  • Deep crypto and payments context: you've built or run exchange, brokerage, custody, or payments systems that move real money
  • Very technical and still hands-on. You design for third-party failure and can go deep with senior engineers
  • Equally comfortable in a design review and in front of the exec team or board presenting strategy and trade-offs
  • You run teams with operational rigor, metrics, on-call, and postmortems are how you lead, not overhead
  • AI-native, with a track record of changing how teams build with AI
